Top Notch Satellite Communicator. Simple, Reliable

My new inReach Mini 2 is simple, reliable, pairs easily with my phone so I can type messages there and has unfailing satellite connection. Plus I got it at a great price! It has everything I need and nothing I don't. It's much better than the previous two satcomm devices I used.

Great Peace Of Mind

This is a great little device to give you and your family some peace of mind! Subscription plans can be stopped and started easily, the app interface is intuitive and logical. Well worth the investment!

I bought mine about 3 weeks ago and I love it I commercial fish and I am in the ocean 4 to 7 days at a time no phone service out there and the Garmin mini 2 helps me stay in touch with my girlfriend and I need that and so does she it's so easy and inexpensive and she can always see where I am and talk to me thank you 😊 🙏 ❤️

Purchase Another Sat Device

Difficult to use to send actual texts with + without phone app. I tested before a trip to remote area and seemed to work fine but then once there no one could get my texts using the Mini 2 alone or using app. The weather update feature did work fine. Should come with better instructions and I still need to resolve the texting issue with Garmin. Would recommend purchasing another device with better instruction/ease of use.

Set Up Process Very Difficult

Bought this about a month ago I am extremely dissatisfied with it due to the set up process. After two days, returned it to the merchant got a full refund found out I could use my iPhone just as easily off the grid. Save yourself to trouble.

Disappointing

Reassuring to have the SOS feature, messaging worked well. GPS and mapping feature are disappointing and worse than other applications with cheaper price tags. Multiple times while hiking had the screen go completely blue and unable to track our location or have previously downloaded trail maps loaded. Would restart the app and it would work briefly, but then return to a blue screen. We'd just purchased and no updates were needed. Will definitely be cancelling during the trial period, plan to use a better tracking application like Gaia as we have in the past.

Not For Me

Purchased this about two weeks ago for when I go fishing off grid. This device without a doubt is the most frustrating experience I have ever had with technology. I cannot understand why a device would need two apps to setup. Well this one does. After two days of trying to set it up for use I returned it to Cabelas for a refund. Garmin help, yeah good luck with that. On a more positive note while fishing i found out my iPhone had satellite connectivity, which allowed it to function just like an Inreach, except it was free.

Love How Compact It Is! Would Recommend

I bought this for my disperse camping and off-roading! It’s great to have piece of mind knowing I can still connect to loved ones and get help if ever needed.

Easy To Use But Tree Canopy Kills The Battery.

It was fairly easy to set up and use but I was disappointed with the battery life when using the navigation. I bought it for a 12 day trip and planned to use it for both communication and navigation but an overnight training trip used over half the battery. Probably fine if you stay out in the open all the time but if you will be anywhere with tree canopy (i.e. anywhere on the East Coast not on water) don't expect to use this for live tracking for very long.

Nagged For A Review

I hate getting nagged for reviews if I wanted to review it one email was enough.

Looking Forward To Using This

Bought this and so happy I did text with no issues

Great Tracker System

I’ve had this for almost a month. It easily does exactly what I was looking for. I needed to provide location and notice to my daughters that I was out of cell coverage when I go fishing. Turn it on, one tap in the messenger app to start, one to stop - done. They get both notifications and hourly location updates.

Highly Recommend

This has been the best investment. I feel very safe and secure knowing I can reach my mom where I am and when I am safe back at my car. If you are even an average hiker… it’s a great way to stay safe out there! Highly recommend to anyone who ventures often and alone.

In-reach Mini 2 Is A Great Buy!

Bought this to use while Primitive Camping. Took it upstate NY last month for the first time and hiked into an area w no service of any kind and it worked perfectly to let my family know I was safe. A little delay with messages here and there but 90% of the time got a response within a minute or two, even when a bit cloudy. Also worked for them to contact me. The App to have it go thru my phone instead of trying to type into the Garmin worked perfectly!! Best part is you can pause the subscription in between trips without incurring the start up fee. Battery lasted the 3 days I was away and still had 54% left. Great product highly recommend.

Peace Of Mind

Excellent piece of mind and insight. Afford and not to expensive
