Garmin InReach Mini Satellite Communicator

What’s smaller than 2 Tic Tac® boxes and can save your life? Garmin’s new inReach Mini takes the core features from the proven inReach GPS satellite communicators and shrinks them down to pocket size. Using Iridium’s® satellite constellation, you can send and receive text messages and emails anywhere on the planet, staying connected even where there’s no cell phone coverage. Internal GPS handles basic navigation and sends location data with each message, letting your followers track your adventures. A dedicated SOS button lets you call for help, no matter where you are. Use the included Earthmate® app to pair the Mini with your smartphone for easy access to your phone’s contacts. With a dustproof, water-resistant housing and up to a full year of battery life, the inReach Mini is ready to tackle any adventure you can imagine.
