Checking It Out.

Just got it a few days back ... just finishing the install and starting to check out if's features. So far ... I'm impressed and am looking forward to taking it out on a few "familiarization" hikes. Planning for big use in Sequoia NP in August. Good job on another Garmin product.

The inReach mini seems like a very capable device, but it will take time to learn how to fully access all of its functions. It would be nice if there was a "learning curve" allotment of messages and weather reports that could be sent/received in order to become more familiar with the device

The mini is seems awfully fiddly and sometimes a bit overengineered where I had difficulty understanding how to use some of its functionality--like how to turn off the alarm that a new message has been received....But, I bought it so my wife could track me when I was out of cell phone service range and it did that.

I bought this but have been unable to activate. Contacted Garmin SuPport and worked with them for over an hour without success. The Rep indicated that he was going to send it to Engineering to determine what else could be done or if they will send me another unit. I haven’t heard from anyone in 2 days…but my subscription has started…. Very disappointing and my confidence is low that this thing will work in an emergency…

I bought this after hocking my guitar and amp so my wife would have piece of mind as I hiked the mountains. Customer support is awesome. I cannot wait to use this.

Recently diagnosed with a lethal heart rhythm, but I refuse to just sit at home. Purchased this to give my spouse and me peace of mind. Setup was extremely easy. Hope we never have to use it!
