Too hard to get started

From a pure product standpoint, it is small and light, and the battery seems pretty good. From a usability standpoint, I am really struggling to get started. The online manual is very brief, and I haven't yet found a good resource that walks me through features and how to access them. It's pretty frustrating. If you have a friend who owns one and can show you how to actually use it, I'd recommend.

With its minimal weight and compact packed size, the InReach has been the long-coveted solution for communicating from the backcountry and having piece of mind in case anything should go awry. Thankfully, I haven't had an emergency since getting it, but the messaging has been clutch. Good choice for experts or novices alike.
Must-have for emergencies

This is a must-have item for any emergencies on the trail. My family and I use this even when just traveling on long, rural road trips for peace of mind for even a simple flat tire situation. Only downside is having to pay the activation fee and monthly subscription on top of the device, but you can pause the monthly fee for up to 12 months on a single activation fee.

Probably the best satellite communicator out there. Still leaves quite a bit to be desired, especially in the Garmin apps. The Garmin ecosystem is incredibly obtuse quiring multiple applications. In order to keep the device up and running. Additionally the pay plan is kind of stupid expensive.
I like the app.

This unit does what I need it to on my bike trip. I can let key people know when I start & stop cycling for the day. It also updates my location for anyone who I give the map page too so they can see where I am hourly. Also, the app shows my location and the GDMBR I am following. I can't navigate with it but it does show me if I am off track or not. It's saved me some wrong turns numerous times. Size, weight & durability are all amazing.
Easy to use, sense of safety

I recently bought my InReach Mini2 for a Colorado Trail bikepacking adventure. My family was thrilled with my daily checkins. And I used the weather updates regularly to guard against ending up above tree line in a lightning storm. The app interface on my phone was easy to use and it worked as expected everytime.
Great addition to the boat

Pairs easily with iPhone to effectively convert it to a satellite phone for contact with others while far offshore in the gulf.

Reliable, great battery life, and easy to use! I was in the Amazon jungle for a week and this tracked my trip at every turn along with giving me peace of mind if I ran into any trouble.

I used this on my recent 4 night, 5-day hike along a section of the PCT. I used it in tracking mode so my kids could watch my progress. I also was very impressed with the battery life. It lasted several days before needing to be charged. I also, played with the option to create waypoints on the Explore app and let it led me to a waypoint by letting me know when I was on track. Very impressed with overall functionality.
Clunky to navigate

Recently purchased a monthly subscription with activation. Complicated to use for a novice at tech. Unsure of connectivity and unable to confirm a message was sent.
Grateful for the peace of mind

Thing works great. Hopefully I never need to hit the sos button. But so nice to know that I could. Sending messages offshore with no service is simple.

I finished a hike early and used the Garmin to contact my spouse for day early pick-up. Worked like a charm. So nice to have that piece of mind incase you have an emergency.

I regret buying this without knowing how expensive the subscription model is and that the device is useless without a subscription.

I bought this weeks ago so I could communicate with my family and crew and, in spite of calling tech for help, I have not been able to use it

I love this device. This one is way smaller than my original and has a substantially better battery life.
So far, so good!

The Garmin inReach Mini 2 has been a game-changer for me. Its satellite communication allows seamless text messaging (especially when paired via Bluetooth with my phone), even without cell service, providing peace of mind both for myself and those wanting to know if I am ok in the backcountry. The TracBack routing is excellent for safe navigation back to your starting point. This compact device boasts robust battery life for multi-day trips and is incredibly durable. It's remarkably simple to use, especially when paired with the Garmin Explore or Garmin Messenger app. The interactive SOS feature offers a great safety net, connecting directly to emergency services. Lightweight, reliable, durable and packed with essential communication and navigation tools, the InReach Mini 2 has been a great investment for enhanced safety, communication, confidence and peace of mind in the outdoors.
Feature that are very important for me and family.

Good for beginners and advanced. I rented one of these for my R2R trip last year and worked great. Tracked my location even at the bottom of the canyon and was able to text my pickup ride how close i was to topping out. Now with this deal now i’m going to buy it since i go out off the trails more.
Too difficult to use

The unit is so small that it is laborious to use. Difficult to understand instructions and operation. For example it seems impossible to add contact easily or at all to the unit. The owners manual is also difficult to use, incomplete and not user friendly.

Just got my inreach about two weeks ago. I had the pn-60w and spot communicator before, so I was familiar with how Garmin (DeLorme) funtioned. Happy to say that initiaing the inreach was super easy. Choosing data plans was super easy. And connecting to the Garmin Expore and Garmin Messenger apps turned out super easy as well. I soend a lot of time in the back country. So even my wife is thrilled with a much better form of communication and location tracking.
