I purchased this product, activated it, and the battery does not hold a charge. I can't take it out for more than a few hours.

Excellent product for remote traveling!

I purchased the inReach Mini 2 for a diving trip to Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands. Bikini is very remote and there is no Internet connectivity. I used the message feature, along with the messaging app on my iPhone, to communicate with family back home. It worked great! Also, being so remote I felt comfortable having the SOS feature if needed. I also used the waypoint feature so friends and family could keep track of our location.

Great tool, software/interfaces OK

Bought this a month ago and have taken on 3 multi-day hikes. Messages/hardware performance good. However the software/interfaces used for the Mini2 could use better intergration, better use experience to simplify the use.

Too many separate smartphone apps
on July 28, 2023
Posted by: AC - California
Three Garmin apps on my smartphone is too much -- Messenger, Explore, and Earthmate. Two is enough, particularly since Explore and Earthmate are so similar.

As advertised
on August 19, 2023

I bought this 2 weeks ago and used it the past 5 days straight while hiking the back country trails of Colorado. It worked wonderfully. I was able to communicate with my wife back in town to let her know where I was and how my travels were going. A great way to stay safe & keep people updated of my travels where cel phone services didn't cover. Borge the wife and I are really happy I have this added communications coverage.

I used the device while hunting in a remote are of Nevada. No cell service, the inReach allowed me to keep my family informed of my location and my safety. The device was on for 3 days and was still hat 80% battery life. Very impressed

The Device is good, plans could be better

This is our families second Garmin device. It would be nice if Garmin offered “family plans” or more competitive plans compared to the competition. Or offer devise to device messaging. Something to save families money.
