Good tool, useful outside cell phone range.

I received the inReach 2 in April and used it for a hike last weekend. I asked for this instrument for the messaging options, but the waypoint tracking is a nice addition. I found it difficult to follow waypoints on the trail, but the mapping feature after the hike was very cool.

Does not receive replies, one way communication
on June 9, 2023
Posted by: ThomMc
I had high hopes for this device. I have been in communication with Garmin for 15 days to rectify this issue. “Engineering is addressing the problem” I can send messages but cannot receive replies unless my phone is connected to the internet. If my phone is connected to the internet then I don’t need a two way satellite communicator. This is very frustrating and not what I have come to expect from Garmin after owning several GPS units, watch, heart rate monitor, etc. So, one star since it does not work as advertised.

Useful product with great features

I have used the unit once for a gravel road bike race to test it out and the tracking worked very well. My daughter was able to follow my progress, even noting when I stopped along the way. I will continue testing but so far my family is happy I have it for my more isolated location adventures.

Freedom!

Using the InReach Mini 2 is freedom to train as much as I want for the Half Dome approach without having to rely on friends who sometimes bail on plans.

I purchased this item about a month ago. I used it this past few weeks in Montana and Idaho bitterroot mountains. There is definitely no cell phone signal, but the Garmin in reach mini worked flawlessly extremely glad I have it!!!

It has made great Shelf art. It was fun to buy and charge. Now it sits and waits for its first use.

Have not been able to use product. The instructions that came with it are terrible. Should have a warning label
