Garmin inReach® Mini 2

The Garmin inReach Mini 2 is a compact, lightweight satellite communicator designed for adventures that take you beyond the reach of traditional cellular networks. Small enough to clip to a backpack, belt, or gear loop, it provides two-way satellite messaging, interactive SOS, GPS tracking, location sharing, weather forecasts, and navigation features in a rugged device weighing just 3.5 oz.

Whether you're hiking deep into the backcountry, hunting in remote terrain, overlanding miles from the nearest town, heading offshore, or building an emergency communications kit, the inReach Mini 2 gives you an important connection to the outside world when your smartphone can't.

Stay Connected Beyond Cell Coverage

The inReach Mini 2 communicates through the global Iridium satellite network, allowing you to send and receive text messages from remote locations where cellular service is unavailable.

Keep family and friends updated, communicate with other inReach users, or send important information back home while you're off-grid. Pair the device with a compatible smartphone for an easier way to compose and manage messages while retaining satellite connectivity.

An active satellite subscription is required for satellite communication features.

Interactive SOS with 24/7 Emergency Response

When an adventure becomes an emergency, the inReach Mini 2 provides more than a simple distress signal.

Trigger the dedicated interactive SOS to contact Garmin Response, Garmin's professionally staffed 24/7 emergency response coordination center.

Two-way communication means you can exchange messages with the response team, provide information about your situation, and receive confirmation and updates while Garmin Response coordinates with appropriate emergency services.

For anyone heading beyond reliable cellular coverage, it's a small device that can make a very big difference.

Share Your Journey

Let the people back home know where you are without constantly checking in.

The inReach Mini 2 can share your GPS location through MapShare, allowing friends and family to follow your progress online. You can also send messages containing your location, making it easy to provide an update from the trail, campsite, job site, or anywhere else your journey takes you.

Find Your Way Back with TracBack

Missed a turn? Trail disappeared? Conditions changed?

The built-in TracBack routing feature can navigate you back along the same route you traveled, providing an additional navigation tool when exploring unfamiliar terrain.

The inReach Mini 2 also features a digital compass that provides heading information even while you're standing still.

Built for the Backcountry

At only 3.5 oz (100 g) and approximately 4 inches tall, the inReach Mini 2 adds serious communications capability without adding serious weight to your pack.

Don't let its size fool you. The communicator is built for outdoor use with an IPX7 water rating and a durable, impact-resistant construction.

From backpacking and climbing to hunting, kayaking, overlanding, and remote fieldwork, it's designed to go where smartphones and cellular networks can't always follow.

Go Longer Between Charges

When you're days away from the nearest power outlet, battery life matters.

The rechargeable battery delivers up to 14 days of operation at the default 10-minute tracking interval with a full view of the sky, or up to 30 days using a 30-minute tracking interval.

USB-C charging makes topping up the battery straightforward from compatible portable power banks and other charging equipment.

Weather Updates Wherever You're Headed

Changing weather can quickly change an adventure.

The inReach weather forecast service provides detailed weather information for your current position or another location along your route, helping you make better-informed decisions before pushing farther into the backcountry.

Pair with Garmin Explore

Connect the inReach Mini 2 with the Garmin Explore app on your compatible smartphone to expand its mapping, trip planning, navigation, and messaging capabilities.

Plan routes, manage waypoints, review your journey, access maps, and type satellite messages using your phone's larger touchscreen while the inReach Mini 2 handles the satellite connection.
