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

Good hardware

I like the inReach Mini. It is a quality device; however, the Garmin websites are confusing, with too many things to download; instructions are not intuitive and the maps are completely out of date. I get better maps using free apps on my phone.

Potential life saver

This unit was purchased prior to a solo, backcountry canoe trip at the behest of my fiancé. Money well spent as I was forced to SOS after getting lost in a northwoods bog. Response was in minutes. Very satisfied with my purchase.

So first, I wouldn’t give this two stars however there are two major thing wrong with it. FirstThe battery life is very poor and when I go for into the back country in Alaska I always have to bring a battery bank because this dies fast.
Secondly the texting only allows me to send text to emails account which is very odd. However I am able to send text out. I will be upgrading I’m the future

Chromebook

After I bought this and got a subscription I realized your system will not run on Chromebook’s so I can not fully set up my mini.
Wish I had known that before buying.
