Easy to use

Bought a month ago and so far (thankfully) I have not had to test the SOS feature. I ride a lot of back country trails on my bike solo and my Mini 2 gives my wife peace of mind to have regular positional updates and messaging ability if necessary.

Works like the original

Glad I have the new message app but was not thrilled with the planned obsolescence of original for the messaging app. Wish the power button still confirmed when turning off. Sending a preprogrammed message seems to take more clicks. It used to be easier to send a message one handed when riding. At least I was able to sell my old unit so it is not in a landfill.

Kept me in touch with my family while in the backc

I'm overall very happy with my Garmin inreach mini 2. There was a bit of a learning curve to send and reply to messages and I still have a lot to learn and figure out about this satellite communicator but I was able to check in and let family know I was ok on a 7 day backpacking trip. The nights I was in deep forest I wasn't able to get a message out but as soon as I got open sky it worked great. I wish there was a more detailed user manual.

rugged device

the messenger app worked well and I added my family during our 5 days in Wyoming’s Bighorn mountains. The explorer app was inconsistent and my Alltrails with my phone’s GPS worked better . It was my first use of the device and I am sure I have lots to learn but my two savy adult children on the trip could not solve the problem

I reside in an area with minimal cell coverage outside of towns and highways.The family's peace of mind while I'm out is worth every penny. Love it

A travel must have

Amazing battery life on this unit, works flawlessly. Really happy with the responsiveness and accuracy and convenience when I am out traveling. I travel in a lot of areas with no cell coverage and to know that I can get a message out as critical for family and business communication.
