FAQs

Do I need a satellite subscription to use the GPSMAP H1i Plus?

No, you can use the GPS and navigation features without a subscription. However, an active inReach satellite subscription is required to use the two-way messaging, SOS, and tracking features that rely on satellite communication.

How long does the battery last?

Battery life varies by mode: up to 48 hours with inReach enabled (10-minute tracking), up to 145 hours in GPS Mode, up to 425 hours in Expedition mode with inReach enabled, and up to 840 hours in Expedition mode without inReach.

Can I add more maps to the device?

Yes, the device comes with preloaded maps and supports adding more maps and high-resolution satellite imagery. It has 64 GB of internal memory and supports microSD cards up to 1 TB for additional storage.

Is the device waterproof?

Yes, the GPSMAP H1i Plus has an IP67 water rating, meaning it can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. It is also rated to MIL-STD-810 for thermal, shock, and water resistance.

What is the difference between Expedition mode and GPS mode?

GPS mode provides standard GPS tracking with excellent battery life. Expedition mode significantly extends battery life by using less power-intensive GPS logging, ideal for very long trips where power is a critical concern. inReach features can be enabled in either mode.

Can I use this device for geocaching?

Yes, the device is geocaching-friendly and supports Geocache Live. You can download geocaches directly to your device for navigation and logging.

Does it have voice control?

Yes, the GPSMAP H1i Plus features voice command capabilities, including a voice assistant and voice notes, which can be convenient when your hands are occupied.

Troubleshooting

Ensure the device is adequately charged. Connect it to a power source using the USB-C cable and try again. If the issue persists, perform a hard reset by holding the power button for an extended period (e.g., 15 seconds).

Inaccurate GPS signal

Ensure a clear view of the sky. Move away from tall buildings, dense foliage, or canyons. Check that multi-band support is enabled in settings for improved accuracy. Reboot the device.

Cannot send/receive satellite messages

Verify that your inReach subscription is active and up to date. Ensure the device has a clear view of the sky and is properly registered. Check the satellite connection status on the device.

Touchscreen is unresponsive

Clean the screen with a soft, dry cloth. Ensure your hands are dry. If the issue continues, try restarting the device. For persistent issues, check for software updates.
