Good piece of mind, messaging needs work

Gos signal was good, check in feature seemed to work ok (letchworth state park in NY). But the messaging and check in feature with the app didn't have great signal strength and a delay in sending and receiving messages. I didn't expect a native text experience, but to pay a subscription rate for the ability to message, I would expect better performance, and timeliness.

I often ride motorcycles in backcountry areas far from cellphone coverage. My inReach mini2 not only provides necessary emergency coverage, but allows me and my family to check in with each other via the text feature. This unit is a must have!

Really disappointing. During three days of hiking in the PNW virtually none of my check-ins or text messages went through in under an hour; some took as many as four hours. The track location feature also provided no contact. The unit was fully charged and clipped outside my pack and unobstructed. I even tried holding it over my head and pointing it at a clear sky. Obviously no idea if SOS would work any better, but if this device is meant for peace of mind in the wilderness, it provides none.

Purchased for a fishing trip to Manitoba. End of the road with no cell tower for a 100 miles. inReach worked as advertised. My issue is with the subscription fees. Pay for the Mini, then add a subscription THEN a activation fee. Now, back home, won't be back till next year and they want ANOTHER activation fee. Ya, ain't going to happen. Can you say Starlink Mini boys and girls?

I bought this for a trip to Utah to check in with family members when we arrived and got back to the trailheads since we were two women traveling around for a week. The only place I couldn't get it to work was in the Narrows at Zion, which was unfortunate because it was the only place I felt that I needed it, as it started to rain and I was trying to look up the weather. I guess because the walls were so high and narrow, it couldn't get a clear shot of the sky. It worked well for the rest of the trip. Just something to think about.

Is a very good tool once you know how to use it. A learning curve not 100%l user friendly... A great safety feature.. peace of mind while on the road.

I am not very technically savvy. The inreach mini 2 doesn't require me to be. Just a few buttons to push and POOF! Check-in message sent. I used it to let my family know I was ok, and when I started and stopped each day while I was traveling solo. Part of the trip was out in the forest so phone reception was not an option. The inreach mini 2 solved that problem. I didn't require use of the emergency SOS function so I can't speak to that, but if it is as easy as the check in it should be useable for me also.
Nice to have

I find myself in remote places where I need offline maps often. I've gotten lost before. And sometimes stumble across wild animals in those remote places. It's nice to know I have this nearby if something were to go wrong. I'm not impressed with the activation fee or the monthly subscription cost, it feels predatory. Because of this, I hope a competitor device arises to compete for this market. It's not like I have to use it every month, hopefully I never have to use it, so why does it cost almost as much as half my cell phone bill?
Solid & dependable

Been thinking about this purchase for quite a while. Waited for the sale. Tested on 3 day canoe trip. Accurate weather forecasts. Tried auto text feature, could not pair device without cell service. Successfully paired with service. Have not tried again w/out service. Month by month subscription is handy. Will use again on next wilderness trip.
Great little gps

I purchased one very cheap off a person. It had never been registered. So I got a good deal. I like the size. Light weight. User interface to actually register and use it was extremely frustrating. Garmins instructions were useless. Totally useless. YouTube videos had mixed instructions with one ultimately providing an answer. Again, Garmin instructions were wrong and not useful. Plans cost more than I anticipated. Apparently the price was increased recently, but Garmin doesn’t provide increased value for the increase. Corporate greed. User interface is not user friendly. I’m still attempting to figure out how my spouse can track me. Or message me if I don’t message first. Which app to use on iPhone and which one is still advertised but not supported. How I can download a map. Or use trackback. Garmin appears stuck in an early 2000 interface, and despite charging high monthly fees, doesn’t pay good software engineers to write better instructions or interfaces. If I ever have to use SOS I hope it works. But my experience with Garmin makes me doubt it.

I do a lot of fishing in an area that has no cell service. I have several health problems, and my wife has a valid concern as to where I'm at and how to get to me if something happens. This device does exactly that. I'm able to let her track me and let her know exactly where I'm at in case of an emergency. I'm also able to add each of my kids to the contact list so that they also where know where I'm located.
Glad I have it

I got it for my birthday a month ago but find it difficult to create my own message. I can only use the canned ones which is ok for now but won’t be for long. Guess I’ll have to back and study some more

I bought this for a 6 day backpacking trip through a dangerous trail. My friends and family were very concerned that I was going alone. Having this device allowed me to stay in touch and let everyone know I was ok. I also used the emergency SOS to get a fellow hiker rescued. I was grateful to be able to help assist and the process was smooth and quick to get connected to local services and get him picked up by helicopter. I'll be taking this with me whenever I go adventuring with no cell service! It held a charge well and using the app makes it so easy to use!

I bought the Garmin inReach Mini 2 after seeing how easy a friend's was to use on a trip into the wilderness area in Idaho. I have used it from Texas to the Yukon and it is reliable, fast and easy. My family loves the messaging and location features.
Great Hardware Difficult to set up.

I bought my InReach Mini2 about 2 months ago for a hiking trip to Lake Tahoe and Yosemite. It does everything advertised, but the setup instructions are severely lacking. I still cannot receive texts from people with whom I can send texts. I could not get it set up to allow my daughter and son-in-law to track us. Still unsure how to minimize costs, as the unit lies dormant while we are home for several months.
Worked great!

I bought this as I hike alone a lot in Canyonlands in S. Utah and the Uintas where there is no cell service. The SOS feature is a very reassuring, even though I hope I never need it use it. The best part is being able to text my family of my whereabouts and status.
Cool device to ease ones mind when adventuring

I use this when riding my dirt bike remotely with no cell service. So far it works ok, sending messages, pictures, and tracking. However often it does not connect over Bluetooth to my iPhone without rebooting my iPhone. This is annoying as I don’t know that until I try to turn tracking on.

I got this GPS for my fiancé before he left to do a LASH of the NCT. It allows me to see his progress, plan resupply drops, gives me peace of mind knowing that he has SOS capabilities. So far the only downside is the tiny screen, but that was a willing sacrifice to keep his pack weight down.
