Great features when under clear sky
on June 16, 2023
Posted by: Bubblegummers
Love the purpose and functionality of the Mini 2 but doesn't track every 10 minutes when driving in a car since there is no clear sky view (not a big issue). Under the sky, works very well.
Was using a Garmin GPS 66i for caching and Inreach features, but when GPS decides to to die or work intermittently, couldn't depend on having the inreach feature available when it might be needed.

Mini 2

I bought this to replace my mini original, which was a good tool. The Mini 2's enhanced ease of use makes it a great choice for me.

Great Device for Its Intended Use
on June 16, 2023
Posted by: Northwoods Hunter
I purchased the InReach Mini 2 to accompany me on fishing and hunting trips to remote areas of Northwest Ontario. The base use of the device was as advertised. The battery lasts for several days. All good there. The instructions for how to use the software packages on iPhone and PC are pretty poor. A little observational VOC would provide a lot of benefit on updating the instructions.

Confidence!
on June 16, 2023
Posted by: Jones31
I am a 58-year-old widow and was about to go on a journey with my son into the Boundary Waters Canoe Wilderness Area of Minnesota. I was concerned about not having service and if there would be an emergency. I bought the Mini and I am so glad I did. Gave us complete confidence to be alone in the wilderness! It’s easy to use. Family could reach us as well and keep track of where we were. Excited to go on my next adventure!

steep non learning curve
on June 17, 2023
Posted by: E man
so far i believe I understand the SOS function, so it's at least on a par with my now retired single function unit. And I'll assume that the myriad menu of capabilities are possible. But so far my attempts to add contacts, "track" and "trackback" (seperate functions), have been frustrated. The video on trackback was apparently erroneous and frustrating. I'll keep trying but this gadget is a project.

Awesome for your loved ones onshore!

We purchased a Mini 2 for our 120 mile trip to the Bahamas and our family loved being able to track our location and even what speed we were travelling. Also nice knowing I could message them or anyone else if needed. Battery life is outstanding as well.

Took my InReach mini on the PA WILDS BDRX and I was able to communicate with family through the Explore App when I had no Cell connectivity.
