Posted by: TomsMini
I got this for a Christmas present. I downloaded the latest software. I cannot get it to sync with the garmin system. And yes I went outside in a clear view of the sky in ALL directions and my unit wouldn't sync.

Easy enough to use

I've been using it for month now practice makes it easier to understand. I'm a hands-on learner so practice was needed. I especially liked syncing with my phone.

Great features but a pain to setup
on May 3, 2021
Posted by: wadncei
I bought this a few weeks ago primarily to have with me out on boating trips. Definitely a pain to setup completely and correctly. Directions arent very clear. Honesly, I am not really sure how I ended up getting it to sync or I would share.

Good for the SOS service
on May 3, 2021
Posted by: JimC
If you need a SOS satellite capable device it is adequate. If you want great mapping features and an easy to use unit, don’t even consider this unit. Just to activate and plot one track took several hours, the in Reach mini, a smart cell phone, and a computer. I also had to download a syncing app. Garmin software seems to be up to date for 1998 technology. Worst software applications I’ve worked with and I work for a government agency. The mapping is horrible, the user interface is awful.

Small device that might be big help
on May 11, 2021
Posted by: phochief
Only had the inReach mini for a couple weeks. It took a while for it to finally “Authenticate” the device, but it finally did. Have sent and received a few test messages and they went through fine. Got the inReach specifically for our camping trips in the motor home in case of a break down when there’s no cell service. Also, when we’re hiking. Hope we never need it but it’s comforting knowing we can call for help.

Great device- setup/activating could be easier
on May 12, 2021
Posted by: TDellinger
This is a great device. The devise itself is very user friendly. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is that the activation was a pain. I had to use 3 different apps/programs and contact support to finally get the activation to complete.
