Garmin inReach Mini Satellite Communicator

You’ll have peace of mind while off the grid with the orange Garmin inReach Mini Satellite Communicator. With a paid subscription, you can send and receive texts from anywhere in the world via the Iridium global satellite service. If there’s a problem, you can send an SOS to the 24/7 GEOS emergency response service, which will dispatch local first responders to your aid.

The device is a GPS navigator with compass and bearing capabilities, basic grid waypoint marking and breadcrumb trails, and sophisticated on-map guidance. You can remotely control the inReach Mini to send and receive messages using compatible Garmin handhelds, wearables, or other mobile devices; share GPS-based information on your whereabouts; sync with your smartphone to access unlimited maps, aerial imagery and U.S. NOAA charts (along with your phone’s contacts list), and get detailed weather information on the go, on a basic or premium basis. Aviators can pair the inReach Mini with a smartphone or tablet running the Garmin Pilot app for communication and to drive a geo-referenced aircraft position symbol on your tablet’s moving map display, as well as provide tracking of your flight to your followers on the ground. The inReach Mini is a supported device for the Lockheed Martin Flight Services (LMFS) Adverse Condition Alerting Service (ACAS), Surveillance-Enhanced Search and Rescue (SE-SAR), and Enhanced Special Reporting Services (eSRS).

Satellite subscription plans range from $11.95 to $99.95 per month.
