Perfect On A Budget

I have used a Garmin 66i on many occasions in the backcountry. While the inReach messenger doesn't have all the same capabilities as that unit it gets the job done. If you are on a budget but need an inreach this is the tool for your toolbox. The antenna is impressively strong and I haven't had any connectivity issues with my phone. The garmin apps are well made making this a great product. Lightweight and fits nicely in a binoharness if you carry one of those around.

Good But Could Use Some Features

Was great from a safety, messenger and tracking perspective. Would be great to be able to load GPX to show the pathing. Similar to the Garmin forerunner 945 I use and my support crew can track.

Works Great!

Bought a few months ago. Few times that I used it was spot on to get the message out.

Peace Of Mind

Living in Wyoming cell service is an issue, especially in the mountains. My Wife has Multiple Sclerosis, so keeping in contact with her is imperative. InReach provides us with the ability to keep in contact if she starts having issues. InReach gives both of us a peace of mind when I am away, she knows I am safe and I know everything is good with her.

Love It!

Great insurance. The interface with mobile phone through the Messenger app is convenient, although my first trip I forgot my phone and the auto generated check-in texts are really nice. They feature a hyper text link to a detailed map with exact coordinates so friends and family know exactly where you can be found.
