Easy and light to carry - but works great!

I bought the Mini2 to replace an older InReach device. The new unit is very small and light, which is nice for remote hikes, etc. However, it pairs nicely to my iPhone with the Garmin Messenger App, which makes it quite easy to use. I had a bit of trouble getting it registered, but one call to the Garmin Support Center solved the problem. I'm taking it on a trip later this month to a remote part of Canada, so will really test it out.

No it’s very week signal and it takes a log time to revive any text when in the woods

Peace of mind

I got this as a birthday present. I love it. I feel so much more confident and comfortable taking my son backpacking knowing that I can check in with family and call for help when needed. I am a little disappointed at how slow communication can be when you’re in tree cover. Better results when you stay in the same spot for 5-10 minutes. The size and weight and battery life are really good and the plans are more affordable than I originally thought.

I purchased this a few weeks before a trip down the Baja peninsula. Although I didn't need to use it, I felt comfortable being miles from anything but cactus knowing that if something did happen, I could get support if needed.

Great Backpacking Tool

I recently upgraded from the original Mini because I ready battery life was better (which proved true, but I still bring a roll-up solar charger). They are essentially the same durable body/makeup. I also felt that messages were sent/received with better efficiency and with less direct sky visibility. The new APP is better. Peace of mind for my family is ultimately the goal, and that goal is achieved with this model (and the precious).

Griffs Garmin InReach Mini 2
on November 3, 2023

I purchased this product for the families peace of mind. I have used it 1 month for hiking,canoeing , and motorcycle trips in remote areas.This is the best current stand alone device This product has multiple features that require learning/understanding before you hit the trail . It will send an SOS without education. Watch the Inreach Webinar on YouTube and other YouTubers that outline the features to become familiar prior to use. Download the Explorer App ,pair your phone, update the software package add your contact list. Learn how to apply it . Its awesome.

Great communication

Bought this specifically for hunting in the mountains with no cell service. Worked great. I was able to stay in touch with my wife and let her know I was doing ok while I was up there. Sending location messages takes a little while and the device doesn’t always pull messages and has to be forced occasionally but all in all it’s a great tool and super handy. Really put my wife’s mind at ease while I was up there alone.

Bout my inreach mini earlier this year. For an upcoming colorado and Arizona hunt. It worked flawlessly, sending my message to my family while I was out on my hunts
