Problems with inReach Mini
on January 17, 2024
Posted by: Coop83
I received inReach Mini three weeks ago as a gift and I do no like it. The instructions are very short and incomplete, and mot helpful. The device was not user friendly, nor was the App user friendly. An email was assigned which I found out about through another person. Because of this I do not intend to use it.

Smaller is not better
on January 22, 2024
Posted by: Ebec2Believe
The convention of a small size requires the phone of tablet near by. I am from the camp that the InReach should be a PLB by itself however the text function is a huge selling point. The smaller size makes it very difficult to author a text message outside of the preset and without the phone interface. Needed one so I went back to Garmin for the network and I buy the insurance for the big trip(no review because I never had to use the insurance). This can be made half size bigger and still be half the size of a SE and perhaps not require a tethered phone

Will serve purpose

I bought this for a thru hike of the AT. I ha e been using it and the features are great for what it is. The one complaint I have is the battery life. I only get a few days of life out of it with all tracking and Bluetooth off. Maybe I am doing something wrong and would love to know.

Help in a small package.

I like the fact that I could summon help to my exact location in a tiny, light-weight device.

I have used the inreach explorer with map function and I would recommend purchasing it over the mini.

Just can’t trusts
on February 29, 2024
Posted by: Rock1
Maybe just me, but a few things that bother. Once turned on, I can not tell if it has connected with satellites, unlike my gps unit. When I press send for a message I can not tell if it went thru, sometimes it doesn’t. I would feel better if unit would display when connection to satellites and message sent was displayed.
