Ratings and reviews

Garmin inReach Mini 2 Satellite Communicator (Black) SKU: 010-02602-01

Rated 1 out of 5 by Chris23 from No plan options for families I bought a second device for the kids so that they could go on separate trips in the backcountry. I was disappointed to learn that Garmin requires the purchase of an entirely separate account with its own monthly fees for each device. There’s no ability to add additional devices to your plan (unless you deactivate the initial device). They should have some sort of family plan. I returned the device.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Antisocialhiker from Comes in handy I got the inReach for ease of mind when I go to very remote places with zero service. I can drop a pin and text my husband. The coordinates and navigation are very accurate. Having it really puts my mind at ease knowing my loved ones and help can be reached easily if needed. Highly recommend!

Rated 5 out of 5 by huntingidaho from I upgrade to the Mini2 This was a great upgrade, transmits messages much faster than my old unit and the battery lasts close to 2 weeks.

Rated 2 out of 5 by G3939 from Interface is impossible Its a nice small package but unless you use your cell, it's impossible to write and send a message. Horrible interface. Even the preset massages are hard to send. Creates a dependency on you cell phone which defeats the purpose.

Rated 4 out of 5 by J-Tizzle from inReach® Mini 2 I bought this a month ago. I took it on my first solo trip recently. The area I was in had near zero cell service. It was nice having the peace of mind knowing that if needed I could reach out to someone for help or they could contact me if needed. The only complaint I would have for this device is more related to the service plans. I won’t be using it every month and wish I could suspend the service in the off times without fees.

Rated 5 out of 5 by GaryH from Works great! It was great to be able to text my wife from the middle of the wilderness. Last time I backpacked, and had to change my route because of lack of water, she was concerned and I only had the preprogrammed messages available to send.

Rated 2 out of 5 by OldSalt from Battery life I bought the in-reach mini 2 specifically as an alternate communication device for when I take my boat off shore. I was 35 miles off shore and was able to track my position and send messages. The unit I bought was a refurbished in-reach mini 2. My only issue is the battery life is only good for 2, maybe 3 days on a full charge. I'll be sending it back and getting a new one. Otherwise no other issues. The unit came in a generic box with all the parts and instructions. Then I selected a garmin subscription plan I felt was suitable for my wants.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Wave Runner from Great Safety Partner I've just finished my fifth hike with device. I bought it for safety reasons because I hike alone and cell service is not always available. I've steu the device to automatically start tracking when I turn it on. I also purchased the least expensive subscription plan that allows me to use the SOS emergency service and to send/receive 50 text messages by satellite per month. There are two hone apps that is highly recommended, but not required, to make using the device easier. The first app is MESSENGER, which simplifies the sending/receiving satellite texts, the MINI 2 device has no keyboard. The second app is EXPLORE, it simplifies and displays navigation maps on your phone. So the MINI 2 is an emergency communigation AND navigation device. It works, but the down-side is the user interface and tiny screen. It is certainly rugged, and the battery lasts many days. As far as I can find, most of its features are only accessible via the device, but these features are some-what hidden. You should practice and review youtube reviews before any big travels. The confusion of using the device is that from the so called HOME page, you get to options via a MAIN menu AND other options are accessed by moving through PAGES. The manual could be clearer and explain by example what some of the options should be used. It would be nice too if it discussed saving your hike's routes for later use. There are some clever features for example, sending pre-written text's which saves you typing. The software also allows you share your hike in real-time with someone. Soo much to still learn.
