Hunting in remote area. No cell service. Was able to text my wife and stay in communication with her. A litte slow but not bad considering where I was . Would recommend this to anyone needing to have contact with the real world.
User friendly, and USB-C

I was excited to buy the inreach version 2.0 because of USB-C charging. This device has been reliable for me on many adventures. I particularly like being able to receive updated weather reports.

Amazing battery life on this unit, works flawlessly. Really happy with the responsiveness and accuracy and convenience when I am out traveling. I travel in a lot of areas with no cell coverage and to know that I can get a message out as critical for family and business communication.

the messenger app worked well and I added my family during our 5 days in Wyoming’s Bighorn mountains. The explorer app was inconsistent and my Alltrails with my phone’s GPS worked better . It was my first use of the device and I am sure I have lots to learn but my two savy adult children on the trip could not solve the problem

I'm overall very happy with my Garmin inreach mini 2. There was a bit of a learning curve to send and reply to messages and I still have a lot to learn and figure out about this satellite communicator but I was able to check in and let family know I was ok on a 7 day backpacking trip. The nights I was in deep forest I wasn't able to get a message out but as soon as I got open sky it worked great. I wish there was a more detailed user manual.

Glad I have the new message app but was not thrilled with the planned obsolescence of original for the messaging app. Wish the power button still confirmed when turning off. Sending a preprogrammed message seems to take more clicks. It used to be easier to send a message one handed when riding. At least I was able to sell my old unit so it is not in a landfill.

Bought a month ago and so far (thankfully) I have not had to test the SOS feature. I ride a lot of back country trails on my bike solo and my Mini 2 gives my wife peace of mind to have regular positional updates and messaging ability if necessary.

I love the mini inreach (just upgraded from the first gen) and it is well worth the investment. It’s so small and lightweight that I throw it in my pack regardless the distance or type of adventure because I’m often outside of service range. I love that I can carabiner it to my shoulder strap (it’s small enough to be narrower than the width of a shoulder strap and also not bang into your cheek or get in the way) and there if I need it. Paired with the phone app, this thing is amazing. Easy texting and tracking. Love it.

I lead groups of Scouts and adults into the wilderness. It allows us to update our position and keep the parents informed. The bonus is the ability to connect to help if really needed.

The InReach was highly reviewed on several outdoor gear sites, so I was stoked to use it. However, I found the installation/set up process exceedingly complicated. Multiple screens, most of which were not user friendly. Instructions were of only marginal assistance. Installing and figuring out how to sync the Messenger app was also not easy. Finally, though Messenger app works well, typing messages on the InReach screen is tedious using the alphabet chart onscreen. This is possibly due to how small the screen is. I do wish the reviews I read noted this "feature" and how small the screen is.
Unsuccessful

Garmin nailed it with the inReach mini. Connectivity with the explore and message app allow for seamless messaging via your phone. Subscription is needed, but can be paused. As a scout leader we always carry a satellite device, and this has not let us down. One nice feature is ability to upload GPX files which can be downloaded from an app like AllTrails.
works great

bought this because of the places I like to go and there is zero cell service. Just used it on an antelope hunt with my son and was able to stay in touch with my wife and keep her updated on what was happening.
Works Great!!

I used the inReach Mini2 in the Uintas Mountains in Utah and on a section hike of the CDT. My trek was easily tracked back home by my loved ones. Weather reports on the trail were easy to get and read using the app, and text messages were easy to send using the app. The device is small and extremely lightweight. Adjusting the update time I would send updates was easy and helped conserve battery. In Utah I sent updates every 10 minutes during the day and every 4 hours in camp at night. I got two weather reports and sent several text messages concerning a nearby fire. The battery at the end of the 4-day hike was at 64%. I am extremely happy with my inReach mini 2 and look forward to using it again.
