awesome peace of mind

The way this thing works with the phone app is great! sending and receiving messages is easy. My wife likes the location sharing feature. it provides great peace of mind. The screen on the device is small and not an ideal way to send messages but it is possible, this this is specifically designed to be used in conjunction with your phone and it does that well.

The best inReach for communication.

If you don't need GPS mapping & navigation capability this is absolutely the best unit for seamless satellite based text communication. Coupled with the in Reach Messenger App it also provides optional weather updates, real-time tracking, and of course the SOS. It's extremely simple, compact, and effective and we'd recommend it to beginner or expert adventurers alike.

They've thought of everything

Works so incredibly well with the phone app, but with backup functionality on the device itself in case the phone doesn't work. Battery lasts almost a month. Messages send fast. Subscription costs are the same for virtually all of these devices.

So far so good!

So far this has proven to be a great product! I've had it for about a month! I haven't needed it on any emergencies and hope that I don't but it has been very reliable thus far! Very light and great battery life! I've always had my phone with it to use via bluetooth but at times I have toggled the small screen and even with only 3 buttons it is pretty easy to use.

This is a great tool that lets me use GPS and Communicate via satellite without killing my batteries. Very Reasonably priced.

Best GPS device

We all have phones anyways, so why not offload the messaging burden to that device? This is the emergency messaging device I recommend above all the others I have used.
