I used it to navigate a new lake in Canada we flew into. The first day, I didn't bring it and almost got lost between all of the islands & bays plus no sun. The next day,we used the map on the phone app. We were able to mark our home base & our target. No more concerns about getting turned around. It was also a great comfort being able to text the lodge and family. thanks

My wife needs to know I'm safe when I go out on a solo motorcycle ride in the mountains. I asked around and 99% of the motorcycle riders i know recommend the garmin mini.

I use the inReach primarily for staying in touch with people. It’s great for messaging people when I’m out of cell range. The preset messages are great since they don’t count against your message limit. I like the fact that you can adjust the plan you’re on based upon your needs. I’ve used it for navigation and it did fine but I find that my iPhone does just as good a job on its own. Never used the SOS feature (and I hope I never have too) but it’s good to know I have it should anything come up.

You never notice it until you need it. Great way to keep in touch with family when in the backcountry. They also have great customer service and flexible subscription plans.
