Product description
This compact satellite communicator helps you keep home with you when you’re off the grid — adding peace of mind to every adventure, without adding weight to your pack.
- Global satellite coverage keeps you connected when mobile phones can’t.
- In case of emergency, trigger an interactive SOS message to the Garmin IERCC, a 24/7 staffed emergency response coordination centre.
- Exchange text messages with loved ones back home, post to social media, or communicate inReach to inReach in the field.
- The TracBack routing feature navigates you back to your starting point the same way you came, should you get lost — right on your device.
- Expand the capabilities of your inReach device by using the Garmin Explore™ app.
- Share your location with loved ones back home at any time using your MapShare™ page or with your coordinates embedded in your messages.
- Instead of relying on mobile phone coverage, your messages, SOS alerts and location tracking are transferred via the global Iridium® satellite network.
- To access the Iridium network and communicate with your inReach Mini 2, an active satellite subscription is required. You can opt for an annual package or a flexible month-to-month plan.
- Get accurate heading information — even when you’re not moving.
- Don’t let the 4″ x 2″ size and 100g weight fool you. inReach Mini 2 is tough, durable, impact resistant (MIL-STD-810) and water-rated to IPX7.
- The internal, rechargeable lithium battery gives you up to 14 days use at the default 10-minute tracking mode and up to 30 days in power saving mode.
- Get detailed weather updates on inReach Mini 2 or a paired compatible device. You can even request forecasts for your current location or other waypoints or destinations on your itinerary.
- Get free access to the cloud-powered Garmin Explore website on your computer to plan your trips, create preset messages and quick texts, sync and manage your device settings, and much more.

— Show originalThe + = The product is of quality, robust, small, easy to use.
The - = amount of the high activation fees because they are mandatory as soon as you stop the subscription and want to subscribe again.
Example: I leave 2 or 3 times a year, I am not going to pay a subscription every month when I do not use my equipment.
I will have to pay the activation fees again in addition to the subscription each time I leave. It is a significant budget unfortunately…
Very fast and careful sending! 👍🏻| Overall rating |
— Show originalEasy to use device. Does what it promises. For a small price you get extra protection for your adventures. The weather information is reasonably accurate.| Overall rating |
— Show originalWorks as it should. In Finland and on the other side of the world. Easy to use once you get a little familiar with it. As it should.| Overall rating |
Great product, easy to work it for a Garmin. I love the basic navigation function, makes classic route planning and mapping still necessary, but gives you a great backup.

Good to show the direction to the previously drawn route.
Without it I would not go to the wild area.| Overall rating |
— Show originalSmall, light and handy to carry around. Last summer I would have used it, although not by my own group, but by other hikers. Fortunately, a similar device was found by a group. It made me think about the weakening of mobile phone signals after the disappearance of 3G.
The use is quite logical, although the functions are based on only a few keys. I haven't had a chance to test the most important feature of the device, i.e. satellite communication or location sharing, because I haven't signed a contract yet. Setting the coordinate system/map projection to ETRS-TM35FIN format was also successful after I found Erke Luokta's instruction video on Youtube (thanks for that): Garmin GPSmap 60CX ETRS TM35FIN specification (the settings also work on other Garmin devices). In a quick test, the device gave the same coordinates as Paikkatietoikkuna. Makes it easier to locate yourself on the map. It is still unclear to me in what format the device transmits location information to rescue authorities and whether they understand the location with the ETRS-TM35FIN. I was also able to sync routes and POIs created with the Garmin Explore app to the device quite easily. However, it is quite difficult to follow the route on such a small screen without a base map.| Overall rating |
— Show originalThe perfect companion when I'm solo hiking or riding a motorcycle in remote areas.
Pros: Small. Low weight. Good battery capacity. Fast installation. Linked quickly to my existing Garmin account.
Cons: The satellite subscription could easily have had a lower price. The UI feels a little messy sometimes.| Overall rating |
— Show originalFeels solid. Setting up the device was easy and the "satellite subscription" was easy. It worked reliably in testing and I'm happy with the battery life when I keep the update interval reasonable, e.g. 20min.Brand
