The inreach is far too expensive for what it is. And the subscription service is even worse. What it amounts to is you’re paying a lot of money to have an SOS button in your pocket since all the other features are either too expensive or not useful.
Bought it last month and was amazed at both its size and capabilities. Excellent directions for setup and navigation through prompts/commands. Thank you sincerely for a product that is easily usable and reliable!
I can’t think of a more critical item of gear if you’re running or hiking off the grid. The voice feature is excellent and doesn’t require the level of effort to send important updates like typing does.
went on a charter and lost an engine about 150 miles offshore. The crew had comms but none of us did. I bought this for the next trip and never lost communication and could share our track with family and friends. Absolute necessity if you are going where there is no cell phone range.
I bought this to have for a long 2 week solo motorcycle ride out west. Kids were worried about me, no coverage in area on phone, etc. They tracked my whole trip. Was great being able to text them through this in areas of no coverage. Also great to know if something did happen i could hit the SOS button too.
