Great peace of mind.

After an experience having to walk miles to call for help, I purchased the inReach Mini. It affords me the peace of mind that I will be able to get help if I am in an area without cellular service. I have not had to use it for an emergency, but I like the tracking feature which lets me keep track of the places I have been.

I never leave home without it.

Since most of my camping takes me to areas with zero cell coverage, and closest means of communication can be hours away, my inreach mini is always on my person.
Also useful to just let family know where you are when you travel out of the cell coverage areas. Sending a pre-saved message is merely a press of a button and includes GPS location. Cuts their anxiety level down knowing where you are and all is OK.

My previous device was a Spot messenger, that had no where near the features of the inReach Mini and did not reliably send my messages.

Great peace of mind for any trip

Have used this on two thru hikes and many shorter trips. It keeps the family up to date on where you are, allows you to message from your phone easily, and gives the hiker peace of mind if something goes wrong. Never had a problem getting a GPS lock or sending/receiving messages.

Great Product That Will Come In Handy
on April 26, 2023

I'd thought about purchasing a Garmin inReach Mini for a while, though I wasn't sure if it would be worth the expense. Well, recently for my 68th birthday. My daughter rented a vacation cabin for several days at one of our favorite lakes, where I would take her fishing as a kid. I knew the cellular service was spotty in the area. But come to find we had no service at the cabin. Since it was off season at the time, and we were the only persons staying in that area of the park. It was concerning that we did not have a way to call for assistance in an emergency. So, after arriving back home. I decided that the inReach was well worth the expense, even if only used occasionally. Now, it accompanies me whenever I travel away from home. Out of town visits, long ebike rides, fishing trips, etc. It's easy to carry and use, the monthly service fee is reasonable, and it allows you to stay in contact with someone at all times and provide location information. It's a definite must have for those that are safety conscious. If an emergency arises, there's always someone to hear your call. Thanks for a great product.

Capable and reliable

It is peace of mind. We sometimes are on different adventures near our mountain property, and of course both off grid. We can rely on our 2 inReach Minis (nicknamed STUBBY 1 and 2) to keep us connected. So much better to send a message instead of a generic SOS.

love the peace of mind.

Im a youtuber who camps and fishes solo. I take the back roads and end up in far away and very remote spots. The Garmin has allowed me to stay in touch with family thanks to it's texting ability and the app makes it even easier. Also, the weather feature is spot on and takes the guess work out of when it's going to rain etc...
