Ask Topo
A small, human project: field-ready answers via satellite, in plain language.
Hi, I'm Tan. I built Ask Topo for people who head out anyway—when the map is vague, the weather turns, or the trailhead sign doesn't cover what actually matters. If you can send an email from your satellite device, you can ask Topo. You'll get a short, practical answer you can use immediately.
Free for inReach users: If you have a Garmin inReach, it's free to try! Send your question to [email protected] from the Garmin messaging app using mobile or WiFi connection. Note that standard messaging fees may apply when sending via satellite. If you're just curious or need help, write [email protected].
There's no signup, dashboard, or app. Just send a message when you need a hand; I'll keep the service running and honest.
