Device is great, app could be better.

The Mini 2 is great. It does exactly what its advertised to and gives my wife and I peace of mind while I'm in the forest and out of cell phone range. My only gripe is that, when using the associated Explore app, all road/trail detail reverts to a borders and highways map beyond a 4 mile wide screen when zooming out. If I want to see where I'm at on a system of forest service roads i have to constantly zoom in and out to see the road then see an overview and then try to remember where each road takes you (4 miles can be traveled pretty fast in a vehicle). Also the satellite image only works when zoomed in to an 8 mile screen. Sure thats fine for hiking but if you're using it to discover terrain to hunt in the national forest its a small window.

So far so good!

Tested it in a national park. Battery dropped about 5% within the first 10 minutes, but then it only dropped about 1% every hour or two. Definitely needs a clear view of the sky or the battery will drain like crazy. I sent a few messages successfully too!
Pretty happy with my purchase overall. Especially with the SOS feature (hopefully, I never have to use it).

Unreliable, didn't work

I bought the inReach Mini 2 in October to run a 100-miler. The primary use case was to provide more reliable tracking for my wife/friends. I loaded the gpx file and that turned out to be the only thing that really worked. The live tracking link didn't work for any of the contacts I preloaded. Really disappointing given the price point for such a specific tool to fail in its specific use case.

Works as Intended

I purchased this to use at our hunting lease in West Texas, where there is zero reception from anything else. This little device has provided me comfort to know I can reach my family and they can reach me in an emergency.
