So far, so good!

The Garmin inReach Mini 2 has been a game-changer for me. Its satellite communication allows seamless text messaging (especially when paired via Bluetooth with my phone), even without cell service, providing peace of mind both for myself and those wanting to know if I am ok in the backcountry. The TracBack routing is excellent for safe navigation back to your starting point.
This compact device boasts robust battery life for multi-day trips and is incredibly durable. It's remarkably simple to use, especially when paired with the Garmin Explore or Garmin Messenger app.
The interactive SOS feature offers a great safety net, connecting directly to emergency services. Lightweight, reliable, durable and packed with essential communication and navigation tools, the InReach Mini 2 has been a great investment for enhanced safety, communication, confidence and peace of mind in the outdoors.

I love this device. This one is way smaller than my original and has a substantially better battery life.

I bought this weeks ago so I could communicate with my family and crew and, in spite of calling tech for help, I have not been able to use it

Worst subscription model

I regret buying this without knowing how expensive the subscription model is and that the device is useless without a subscription.

Thing works great. Hopefully I never need to hit the sos button. But so nice to know that I could. Sending messages offshore with no service is simple.

I finished a hike early and used the Garmin to contact my spouse for day early pick-up. Worked like a charm. So nice to have that piece of mind incase you have an emergency.

Clunky to navigate

Recently purchased a monthly subscription with activation. Complicated to use for a novice at tech. Unsure of connectivity and unable to confirm a message was sent.
