Garmin 010-01879-00 InReach Mini, Lightweight and Compact Satellite Communicator, Orange

Does everything I need to go off grid on my own. Could have done without the bells and whistles but that is the way the world is today. Have not had to use it for the intended SOS purpose, but it lets the wife know Im OK.

Das Gerät funktioniert nur am Meer und in der Wüste. Im Alpenraum dauert eine Alarmierung bis zu mehrere Stunden und die Leistung des Gerätes hat mit dem Werbeversprechnen nichts zu tun. Der dazu gehörige Vertrag ist nach RÜCKSENDUNG NICHT zu stornieren. Schade das so etwas über Amazon angeboten werden darf.

Great features but mini 2 has a lot of new options which make it a better buy for slightly more $

Package arrived quickly. I called Garmin to replace the InReach Explorer as the website instructs you to do and tech support had to open a trouble ticket to remove the old device and add this one. I recommend making the swap asap once you get the device if youre heading out on a trip. Other than that, the sync and outdoor activation process went smooth. I prefer this one over the larger InReach as for navigation and texting, its easier to have your phone in hand and attach this to your backpack than fumble with two devices.

In a real crash last Sunday the InReach Mini identified the exact location. There is no doubt that if this had been off road, that rescuers would have been able to find me. Peace of mind that comes from this is beyond words.

il prodotto e buono e non ingombra solo che per scrivere i messaggi dal Garmin diventa un impresa titanica bisogna sempre inviare i messaggi dallo smartphone tramite il bluetooth altrimemti ci vorrebbe un secolo in alternativa dal garmin e utile usare gli sms gia pre impostati

I used it on a 10 day trip in the Alaskan Bush. Loved it. I’m glad I upgraded my plan to unlimited texts for the month as I could keep in touch with my family and logistics trail.

El equipo hace lo que promete, sin embargo para quien desee comprar de mensajería ilimitada les cuento que el tiempo de envío o recepción del mensaje lleva un periodo de 8 minutos a 12 minutos entre cada uno. Osea seis mensajes por hora.

Provides peace of mind for my family when Im off solo hiking in the backcountry or kayaking well beyond cell service as I use the preset messages to update progress and they can track my locations. As long as you know its a safety device that does allow for some feedback, but not something thats really meant for conversations in the way you would use your cell phone, you wont be disappointed. Super light and compact, attach it to your pack and away you go. I carry a small solar panel (21W Anker PowerPort) that I plug in every couple of days so battery life hasnt been a concern for me. Okay, so you do have to buy a subscription to have the device work, but for me, thats about $12Cdn/month which isnt bad (Ill be using it more than 8 months/year so the economics work out cheaper for me to buy the annual plan instead of the monthly) as insurance. Terrific device.

We used this in alaska and found the phone interface to be unintuitive and clunky. Then when my credit card expired, instead of just cutting it off when the payment didnt process, they kept the service on and then sent the 65 dollar charge (which became $81.19) to a collection agency after 30 days . I will be selling this device on eBay and will be sure to never purchase another garmin product in the future.
