Clever design, small package

Great device for keeping family and friends up to date while adventuring. Clever design between device and app allows for texting through a paired phone keyboard, and message setup from a PC. Plus the security that help is only an SOS button press away.

Hands down the best satellite messenger on the market

I've been a Spot user for 14 years. Spot still makes a good product but it pales in comparison to the Garmin Inreach in regards to features, ease of use, flexibility, size, and interoperability across multiple device platforms. The carabiner and webbing are heavy duty for a device its size which was important to me. The navigation through the menus is very efficient with the four buttons that it comes with. The Earthmate app makes using inreach even more efficient. Even more amazing is the Garmin Explore website which makes setup even more custom and easy if you don't want to use a smartphone app. I appreciate the size of the Garmin inReach Mini versus the Spot X or even the Spot Gen 3 which is still much larger than the mini. I love that I can control the inreach with my Fenix watch and phone. I cannot stress enough how awesome this thing is.

Great device that is light weight to bring easily on any adventure. It is great to have peace of mind to have communication even when you are deep in the backcountry.

In conjunction with the mobile app it's super simple and a great piece of hardware. The subscription plans are a tad steep in price, but your life (and others with you) is worth it.

I have a friend who uses the Garmin inReach on all of his solo trip and checks in daily, this little piece of equipment could be a life saver. Seeing this I bought one myself and use it on all rugged hunting and fishing trips.

Great for texting around the world

Just got back from a month in Nepal attempting to summit a 23,000' peak. The Mini was great for keeping in touch with my family. No incidents, so the SOS function wasn't used, but it was great to text my wife and kids twice each day; we were 11:45 off Denver time, so I'd have a message waiting when I woke up, and left one for them while they were sleeping too. Great that a tool for piece of mind also functions for more mundane uses.
