Review: Garmin knocks it out of the park - I took this little device on a canyon hiking trip in Utah to really put it to the test. Even with canyon walls towering over 100 feet, I was still able to get a solid connection. The speed varied depending on how deep I was, but it never failed to send a message. The screen is small but manageable—though if you have poor eyesight, it might be a bit challenging. It tracked me for the entire two-day trip, providing an excellent trip overview and, more importantly, peace of mind for my family back home. The build quality is impressive too—it handled scrapes and drops with no issues (including a few unintentional encounters with rocks while climbing). Subscription Note: Just be aware that some features require an active subscription. It’s not a deal-breaker since the core functions work well, but it is something to consider when factoring in the total cost.
Review: Compact, reliable, and essential for off-grid safety - The Garmin inReach Mini 2 is a must-have for anyone who spends time off-grid. The compact size makes it easy to clip to a pack or stow in a pocket, and the satellite connection gives peace of mind when cell service drops out. Messaging and SOS features work as advertised, though typing out custom texts can feel a little slow on the device itself. Battery life is excellent, lasting multiple days on a single charge with moderate use. For outdoor trips, hiking, or emergencies, it’s an investment worth making.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Garmin knocks it out of the park
*by J***B on September 4, 2025*

I took this little device on a canyon hiking trip in Utah to really put it to the test. Even with canyon walls towering over 100 feet, I was still able to get a solid connection. The speed varied depending on how deep I was, but it never failed to send a message. The screen is small but manageable—though if you have poor eyesight, it might be a bit challenging.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Compact, reliable, and essential for off-grid safety
*by S***Y on September 21, 2025*

The Garmin inReach Mini 2 is a must-have for anyone who spends time off-grid. The compact size makes it easy to clip to a pack or stow in a pocket, and the satellite connection gives peace of mind when cell service drops out. Messaging and SOS features work as advertised, though typing out custom texts can feel a little slow on the device itself. Battery life is excellent, lasting multiple days on a single charge with moderate use. For outdoor trips, hiking, or emergencies, it’s an investment worth making.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Didn't know I needed one
*by P***N on October 17, 2022*

I love camping. I wish I could have done more of it in the past, but trying to get friends or family together for one is a P.I.A. I never solo camped because the places I like are National Forests that will normally have no cell reception so being alone and running into an emergency isn't a great incentive to be adventurous. Pros: The unit is easy to set up. Fairly easy top register and get an account. The subscription can be suspended at any time without penalty and reinstated when needed. Great for us fair season campers that will have these tucked away in our camping bins for the winter. Insurance is affordable. BUY THE RESCUE INSURANCE IN CASE YOU EVER NEED TO BE RESCUED. Battery lasts the entire weekend for me. I can send receive messages and leave breadcrumbs for my family to track. The list goes on and on, but most of all, I have peace of mind to get out on adventures by myself and get to camp more. Cons: Monthly subscription can be a little pricy if you want to be able to send more messages and send location data of your trip in real-time. You will need separate usage plan and rescue insurance. You can forgo the insurance but I don't recommend it. All it takes is one incident and you'll wish you bought at least the basic insurance. You can't switch between cellular data and satellite in the app. It'll always use satellite even if you have cellular coverage. I highly recommend this IF you love exploring areas outside of cellular service areas. It's a great tool to let your family know you're safe and peace of mind if something catastrophic happens. I hope I never need the SOS function but I can feel better when I venture out solo.
