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

I think it was an option when people didnt have cell phones.

It works as it should, got it cheaper than what REI was selling it for

Importante per la sicurezza. Ha sempre preso il segnale. Un po macchinoso.

Great piece of gear - provides piece of mind when out of cellular service area

as with most high-tech gadgets, i found this mini-garmin to be confusing, or not user friendly, unless i want to spend endless hours and money trying to understand how this thing really works to optimize for my needs. i signed up for the cheapest plan, but i got a much larger bill than i expected because there is still a lot of confusion or technical cliches on what functions should cost extra, so i decided to leave garmin in the off position until i have a lot more free time to investigate or truly need for emergency. plus i keep getting a lot of confusing emails about garmin issues that may or may not have anything to do with my garmin??

I love the sense of security you get when having this with you. I bought it for Colorado elk hunting in 2019 and it did help but...

My wife sewed a loop on my Tourmaster motorcycle jacket (at the shoulder) to clip this device, and I now use this tracker to give her an easy method of determining my progress and safety. I just turn it on, and it automatically starts sending my location to a private link. When she wants to know how Im doing, she just clicks the web address we loaded in her phone, types in my password, and she can see my location and my past track. I bought the service that provides a tracking point every two minutes, and there is almost no lag time in seeing the results on screen. BTW, it turns off if you dont want to be tracked, but why buy it if thats the case? Of note, I didnt receive anything from Garmin (or anyone else) for this review. I just think that this product is really useful for a biker...especially if you ride a lot of backroads (with no cell service) like I do.

Bought for use on my boat when offshore out of cell range. Works as advertised and we were able to lay down a track that others could follow from Earthmate website. text messages were reliable and allowed me to stay in contact with shore for weather updates etc. Excellent unit and the ability to have a monthly plan that you activate when you need is a key feature.

It does what it is supposed to do.

Molto utile abbastanza semplice da usare anche se senza collegamento con l’app del cellulare è parecchio brigoso, ma d’altronde senza tastiera... il software si potrebbe migliorare e rendere più immediato
