It's So Wee!!!

I went from the original DeLorme to this. It's so much smaller yet the battery lasts soo much longer and it connects with satellites much faster. I especially like being able to communicate inReach to inReach directly with my hunting buddies

I downloaded both app messages and explorer thinking messenger would work out of service and had no idea that the only way to message is thru explorer maybe make a banner on messanger that that app doesn’t work with out service

Invest in safety!

One of the smartest investments I’ve made in my hiking, trail running journey. This is peace of mind guys. Really simple service plans, easy to use, and great customer service. I don’t know how I hiked without one before. Your cell phone can only do so much. Once service is out of reach you need another way to stay connected. Invest in your safety and get one of these devices.

Straight up Reliable

I had the InReach mini from day one. I bought the new one for USB-C (one lesss cable) extra battery and backtrack. Mostly USB-C charging. Didn’t need it much. My wife and few friends I keep in touch with while back country certainly love it.,
I wouldn’t travel without one. I use the phone ap mostly to communicate but when my phone finally dies I still have a screen and a ton of preprogrammable messages I can send.
Used this one for the first time for 2 weeks in October in Yosemite. the only communication that could even be called remotely reliable.
I record tracks as well and use the garmin ap to share with people I know the route I’m taking and real time where I am.

For Safety Sake
on October 20, 2023
Posted by: Better luck next time
I purchased the Mini 2 for an upcoming hunt trip to WY. The initial scout trip proved no cell reception in this area, I knew, for safety reasons I needed to purchase some type of satellite communication device. After researching, it was clear that the Garmin inReach mini 2 was what I needed, plus another member of our party had a Garmin inReach mini and I knew we would be able to communicate to one another should we get separated. I highly recommend this item. It worked as it should. I was able to text home to other family members as needed and communication between inReach to inReach, within our hunting party, was invaluable.
I watched several hours of You Tube videos for tips and hints of how to use this item. Very pleased with this purchase. Looking forward to having this security available for our next hunt trip to MT.
