Hm. I recently bought a Garmin Inreach Mini (satellite emergency communication device), intending to use it for some long backcountry hiking/backpacking trips I'm planning on taking.

Really hope this isn't effecting their emergency service/emergency communication devices. Subscription management, at a minimum, was via the Garmin website.

Garmin sat trackers use the Iridium sat network and outsource the response to GEOS so you'll be fine.

I suspended my inReach plan during the lockdown but was about to re-enable it for a motorcycle camping trip next weekend. Hope the website is back up in time!
