Works very well and great insurance for safety

I bought this device for my bi-annual hiking trip. I set it up and had my wife take it on a road trip to test it out before I used it to go hiking. The inReach Mini 2 worked very well for tracking and updating the location and text messges went through when there was no cellular signal. This is a great device and works very well as a tracking device for family to have some 'peace of mind' while you're out hiking the country side.

Love My Mini 2
on March 20, 2024
Posted by: Carmen (OMO)
Very happy and rather simple to use. Love the weather report feature, the size, and weight. As a thru hike of longer trails, the Mini Inreach 2 only makes sense.

Hard to use
on March 22, 2024
Posted by: AngVan
Every time I buy a Garmin Explorer (I’ve had 2 now), I think there’s got to be a better way. They are too complicated to use. Tiny little screens, good luck if you don’t want to download the Garmin app to make it all work on your phone. Not an intuitive device. I end up buying them & using them solely for the SOS capabilities and the use Gaia instead for tracking & navigation.

So far great but

I like this. It’s been very useful. I wish they would have told me you have to pay for a month of subscription right away to activate it, I would have waited until I was ready to use it.

Love it so far

I did purchase this in reach mini 2 about 1 month ago. It's been a great little unit so far. I will be going on a through hike at the end of May. I wanted to test it for a little bit before I went on my hike just to make sure I knew all the features. Very excited to have this and looking forward to being able to give my wife peace of mind while I'm out on a trail

Works Great
on March 26, 2024

I bought this for a 8 day offroad trip in Mexico sense most of the trip would be very remote areas of Baja as I new we would not have any communication for emergencies or to let family know we were ok. I had 0 issues with connectivity or tracking and was able to sed messages as needed. I tracked each days travel in rough terrain usually between 6-9 hours each day. I never charged it once and ended the trip with over 55% battery life. I only reported every 10 minutes since we already had a pre-established route and maps. Overall I am pretty happy with this new capability for remote camping and traveling.

Awesome Navigation and Communication Tool
on March 26, 2024
Posted by: Paul F.
I purchased this device for a recent trek though the Grand Canyon. Navigation using my smart phone paired with the device worked great. Was also able to communicate with family back home using satellite texting capabilities. My wife was able to track my progress in real time with MapShare feature. Very happy with purchase.

Small Package, Great Features
on March 26, 2024
Posted by: JEO0578
I have had this device for about a month. I have used it twice and have a third trail loaded in it for use. This device is so nice and convenient! It does a great job communicating with loved ones back home while out on the trail. It does a great job tracking and providing you options for way points. Most of all, I could not believe how compact the unit is. I recommend this unit for the avid hiker, biker, or backpacking adventurer.
