Worthless
on January 7, 2024
Posted by: Stupid
I’m stupid. Don’t know how to use this thing. I need help. Beyond my capabilities. Worthless to me as it is. Waste of money!!!

Great Size
on January 8, 2024
Posted by: AllyP
Received it as a gift. Was excited at first, cute, great size, but got more bummed when realizing it’s not as intuitive as I thought it would be. Also not very left hand friendly

Battery dies overnight

Please note that if your device does not have a clear view of the sky, it will go dead overnight. You cannot carry it in a pocket or pack and get more than a day of battery life. (Per the garmin tech)

Wanted to use it for a while before posting and I can honestly say no regrets it is one fantastic tool no problem and testing it several times 10 to 20 feet off course I got alerts every time

stay in contact when there's no cell service
on January 9, 2024
Posted by: HypnoToad
I take adventures outside cell coverage often and like to share my location with family and share text updates. I like the small and light format, and that it integrates with my phone as well as my Garmin Edge 1040 Solar. I really appreciate the monthly service option, saving me the expense when I'm not going to be needing the inReach. There is a learning curve with the inReach, at least I needed a couple test activities to figure out the features and functions ... I'd recommend any new users plan on simple activities in cell coverage to confirm with folks tracking you that everything’s working correctly.

Need some tech support
on January 9, 2024
Posted by: Brian2023
Just got the device and as far as I know it works ok. My problem is getting it to sync with the Explore and Messenger apps. For example, I can't see the quick messages on the device and when I enter a contact in the app, the contact doesn't appear on the device. There's a support website, but I haven't gotten a response there. I can't find a telephone number for support. There really should be better access to tech support and responsiveness.

Really needed this for peace of mind
on January 17, 2024
Posted by: Dr_Bill
Actually got this for my wife after a day hike got complicated and I had no cell service. I find the service plans a bit complex to parse through (that's 10 messages per MONTH not per lifetime of the device....) and was unhappy to have to buy yet another subscription. Heck I now have a subscription on my bloomin doorbell for Pete's sake. But this is different. Having a friend who broke an ankle on a day hike and had a 12 hour rescue to get her to the road, I think this is going to be worth it. Still exploring and trying to understand features.
