It works

So far it’s worked. It was a bit confusing for the subscription. You need the Garmin app on your cell phone to use the device and purchase the subscription through the app.

Short battery life
on April 3, 2025

I yet have to figure out how to operate it. Somehow it wants me to send email messages which is not useful for me. Battery lasts only about a day. I thought I could take it on multi day trips without charging. It also charges very slowly

Loved the old inreach

Generation 1 inreach was great. Texting from 25000 feet was easy. I could text ahead to family and friends. Text ahead to drivers. Now it’s all way too closed. Can’t figure out how to text from Garmin pilot to someone’s cell without use both downloading the app. Used to be great. Now it’s not. But I do love the usb-c upgrade. Nice add.

Peace of mind, but 1 concern...

When this works, it's amazing!! I have one concern- I used this on the Salkantay Trail in Peru during the rainy season, when there were mudslides. My concern is there were times when we reached basecamp and GPS would not work due to cloud cover. Without much experience with the device, it was concerning to know whether an update was sent to recipients tracking my progress or not.

I absolutely love my Mini 2! It is so reassuring to have "Backup" when / where you need it .. knowing, if you get into trouble, someone will come.

Huge functions in a tiny package
on April 6, 2025

I'm impressed with the functionality and reliability of the InReach Mini 2 so far and it's a must have device to keep. However, typing a text message without a keyboard is quite cumbersome but acceptable and haven't figured out if there are numbers to tab to anywhere. Also, the minimum 10 minute interval for maping and sending waypoints makes the route look like straight lines between each point. Again all understandable and acceptable because a real live tracking every inch of the way would be a lot of data to use and not necessary for a real emergency situation which is what I wanted and believe it will work great for that.

I enjoy the breadcrumb feature and how quickly the InReach connects. The battery life is also great, only used 50% on a 4 day trip without turning it off.
