    • Somewhat expensive, but offers peace of mind (and more)
Color: Black Style: InReach Mini Pattern: Communicator
There are three parts to this system: (1) the device; (2) the app; and (3) the subscription. For reference, I enjoy solo trips including some dispersed camping, a little backpacking/hiking, etc. Maybe out about 1-2 times per month. I use this device primarily to check in from the trail and send the occasional hi to a friend. The device - rugged, lightweight, small, functional. I love almost everything about it. I can put it anywhere, take it anywhere, and I don't have to worry about it. It just goes and does. Battery life is pretty decent - lasted a three day backpacking trip with location updates sent back every hour and probably had 40-50% battery life left (turned off at night). Getting messages out is not an immediate process; it can take 5 or 20 minutes before you get confirmation. There was one instance where a text message didn't go through. I suspect because the phone numbers need to be entered in the international format (+1 for US numbers, including the plus). The app - It's not the slickest app in the world, but it is functional and gets the job done. For some reason updates haven't always been reflected back to shared maps for friends and family to follow, even with a good data connection. I personally like the form factor of having a very small GPS/Satellite device that connects to a phone for more functionality (as opposed to trying to re-invent the wheel to have a whole user interface in a GPS/Satellite device). The subscription - I don't love the idea of having to pay more every month after spending the money for the device, but in my case, I just got the cheapest plan and it works fine. If I do go over in a month it's cheaper to pay a small amount extra for the texts than it is to bump up to the next subscription level. It is jarring to go back to metered texting and you find yourself just always thinking about that fact that every text might be costing you some small amount of money. One thing to note - you can define three present messages (including who they will be sent to) and you can send these three messages as often as you want without any extra cost. At the end of the day, I would buy it again and not think twice about it. A little expensive to jump in, but to me it is worth it knowing I can get in touch with anyone, including emergency services if needed, almost anywhere in the world. ... show more

    • Great Functions, Fairly Easy Use, Compact Package
Color: Black Style: InReach Mini Pattern: Communicator
A friend and I did a recent backpacking trip in a remote part of Alaska. We were never going to be within 100 miles of a road, and our primary recovery by float-plane would be dependent on our proximity to a sizeable lake. We wanted to keep our families informed of our status, we wanted the DarkSky weather reports, we wanted comms with our pilots, and we thought the InReach SOS service was a nice back-up in case things truly got ugly. Here are the functions we used: 1. Pre-set text messages to family. 2. Weather reports. 3. Send/receive text messages to communicate with our pilots on extraction day. Here's how it worked: 1. If you log in to your Garmin portal and set up the pre-set messages ahead of time, these are incredibly easy to use in the field. When we configured our pre-sets, we opted to include a link to our location page. We created two pre-sets: one was a simple check-in -- we're OK and here's where we are; the other was an end-of-day, here's where we're camping message. Our family members reported that the texts were reassuring and gave a good point marked on a map, allowing them to keep track of our whereabouts and progress. From our position in western Alaska, it never seemed to take more than 3 minutes for one of the messages to transmit. 2. We downloaded a few standard weather reports during our trip to help plan our movement, campsite selection, and rain-fly decisions. The weather reports also helped us coordinate with the pilots for pick-up. These are simple to download, meaningfully detailed, and easy to read on the device. However, I wish each report contained an indication of where it originated from. Quite obviously our reports didn't come from the middle of the wilderness, so which NOAA station created it? 3. To communicate with the pilots on our extraction date, I paired the InReach with my phone to simplify the text entry. The Garmin mobile app makes this pretty easy. This gave us near real-time communication with the crew as they were planning to come pick us up. They were able to ask questions about local wind and wave conditions, and we were able to respond with that information and our lat/lon. No complaints about this feature at all. (You can perform this function without linking to a phone, but be prepared to enter characters slowly, worse than texting in 2004.) We did not use the tracking feature while in Alaska, but I did test tracking while wandering on some trails at home, and this works well. If you send friends/family a link to your Garmin page, they can keep near real-time track of where you're at. (Note the potential costs associated with tracking.) I also did not use the InReach as my primary GPS device, because I already have another Garmin GPS that I'm comfortable with. (Consider buying the larger InReach device if you're also in the market for a GPS for navigation. I think the InReach mini will work, but will be less handy.) Battery Life: We were in the backcountry for 7 days. We only turned the device on when we needed it. We used it 3 to 4 times per day, an average "session" being 10 minutes, but our maximum "session" lasted about an hour. The battery never got below 90%. So if this type of use describes your intended use, you could easily spend a few weeks in the bush on a single charge with room to spare for an SOS situation. If you turn on tracking, use the device for continuous navigation, or forget to turn it off, well, you know, plan to burn through the battery faster. Overall, I think the InReach mini is a handy little device that can help with several logistics tasks on true backcountry adventures. It's also a pocket-sized risk mitigation plan in case of injuries, illnesses, etc. I wish the subscription plans were a little more flexible for the occasional wilderness trip. But I simply decided to buy one plan down from what my theoretical sweet spot was, and our entire adventure in Alaska cost me maybe $0.20 in overages. Decent value. Note: If you are at all intimidated by using this device, know that Garmin offers occasional online seminars, and they publish recordings of the previous ones. It's easy to get assistance from Garmin for new users. Also, there are tons of good YouTube videos on these devices. So don't avoid purchasing one simply due to a little tech anxiety. I think it's a pretty simple device to use, and support exists. ... show more
