Nice size, app, texting, multiple web pages needed

I have had this device for a few years. I like the size. I also love the price for the subscriptions. Other than that it seems to struggle getting a good signal. Messages don't seem to work very well. There is also way to many websites involved to maximize this devices potential.

Thank you for your review and experience with the inReach Mini. We would like to discuss this further over email. If you would please email us at product.support@garmin.com. Thanks Jenny
Very happy with the inReach mini. I have been using it for backpacking and adventure motorcycle riding. Able to communicate and check in with my wife/family while in the mountains. Also, great to have the tracking. Especially with group motorcycle adventures. Others can see progress and when we are arriving at next town/destination. Previously everything was a guess, and you sometimes felt rushed if you weren’t making progress and arriving later than expected

Purchased it as I primarily hike solo in Colorado in all seasons. Initial setup and location very accurate. I highly recommend that email addresses be added to the three preset messages; this provided an interactive map to those on my list and is a great feature. More than three unlimited preset messages options would be beneficial.

We travel to many out of range places. As a parent, knowing my older teenage children could contact me in an emergency allowed me to relax and enjoy our camping trips.

Bought this for peace of mind like many others have. Nice to know it’s there when solo hiking or climbing and cell service is not available. Used it multiple times a week on my adventures to keep in contact with my family to let them know all is well. Setup was easy and using it is easy after getting familiar with it. Highly recommend this product!

I have had this for 2 hunting seasons, being an older hunter, it gives me piece of mind while hunting alone. Pros battery does well piece of mind can give wife daily updates Cons: doesnt hook up well in timber if you dont pair up to phone, the texting is cumbersome
