Stay connected but bring power source
on October 8, 2023
Posted by: Breaking-wind
I have used my In Reach mini in the western Pacific (Palau and Guam) and Korea. It will track me on foot, in cars and even on light aircraft. Sometimes it will take up to 5 minutes to acquire satellites.
The only reason that I didn’t rate it higher is that the battery life is only one day with heavy usage and 2 days with light usage
Also the Garmin Explorer App is finicky about staying connected to synch

Peace of mind

I bought this 3 weeks ago and have been experimenting with it. It will be cooling down soon and taking my pack mules on camping trips in the desert, will allow me peace of mind with the Garmin Inreach Mini 2. I made many comparisons and the Mini 2 was the best choice for me!

Mini 2 Maintains An Essential Kit For Adventuring!
on October 9, 2023
Posted by: Anonymous
The newest inReach Mini 2 continues to deliver on the perfect balance of weight, durability, battery life, and functionality that I have come to expect, love, and rely on over the years. Paired with the Garmin Explorer App, this is a powerful piece of equipment that allows you to go off and explore off grid locations, but remain connected to the love and support of those back home. It provided spot on weather forecasting, tracking, and messaging throughout our approach and multi peak climbs around Mt Kenya the last couple weeks and over two weeks only required one charge which when allocating battery recharging to camera kit is a valuable detail not to be overlooked.

WORTH EVERY PENNY!
on October 10, 2023
Posted by: Chapolin
Took it on my Devil's River trip in TX. There were other members of our team that had different types of SAT communicators. As soon as the weather got bad and clouds came in all of their coms could reach out to our outfitter for pickup except the inReach Mini 2. Clouds and weather didn't phase it at all. I was able to reach the outfitter in minutes and get us out. Battery life was impressive, most definitely could've used it the entire trip on one charge. Rugged and waterproof 100%.
One thing I wish it had was a scroll or easier way to scroll.

Very reliable
on October 11, 2023
Posted by: Brad413
I had another satellite communicator from another company that was very unreliable. It would not confirm that messages had been sent which was not comforting in the back country. I went on a 7 day backpack trip and ended up buying this InReach Mini 2 the night before because I had such unreliable experience with the previous device. This device worked perfectly I came into some really bad weather and felt very comfortable that I had this device with me and knew that it would work perfectly. Battery life was as advertised as well.

Using for aviation and a great item to have!
on October 15, 2023
Posted by: Rollsroyce1989
I purchased this for flying general aviation. Not nearly as high as the big airlines but high enough that there isn’t any cell phone service. While the plane is loaded with other Garmin gps devices, this is an extra layer of redundancy and it makes it nice in the event that my wife needs to get ahold of me.
