Garmin InReach live tracking problems

I’ve been using this for about 9 months now. It’s been very useful, enabling my partner to follow my almost entirely solo-hiking trips and provides a good safety backup, should I need it.

Lately though, it’s become unreliable with Mapshare pages not loading or, if they do load, intermittently not showing current (or historical) tracks and positions. This issue is not browser or device-dependent nor is how the device is connected to the internet.

Anyone else experiencing similar issues? If so, have you raised it with Garmin and/or managed to find a resolution?

Thanks

This is probably not a very useful reply… but my historic tracks are all showing properly (Safari / MacOS 15.1).

(Off Topic) I’ve not been out on my own much recently, and being tight fisted I only pay for the basic service so only use it when walking solo. I am currently grounded due to the cooker trying to kill us all, or to be a bit less dramatic our 22 year old oil fired Rayburn (Stove) managed to burn a hole in a 1cm thick piece of cast iron giving a lovely view and smell of the oil burning. New heating system now being installed, so I’m grounded until it is finished (About another 3 weeks…(It turns out that designing an efficient air source system is of a similar complexity to understanding the efficiency of antennas with electrons being replaced by litres of water, and a similar approach with dBs being replaced by SCOP ratings) 73.
