Garmin inReach Mini
Product rating for Garmin inReach Mini
We need more competition!
There is no real competition yet for satellite messenger, so it's either Garmin or Spot. I had really no choice because Spot is without message delivery verification. Needed SOS where mobile is not available.
Pro
- Thicker but smaller than mobile phone.
- SOS function with verification of sent message
- 2 way text communication with message verification
- No real alternatives at the moment and still much better than Spot
- Rugged, splashproof
- Can be charged with microUSB
Contra
- Garmin is getting more expensive and less competitive. What a pity!
- Texting without a mobile phone is ridiculously tedious.
- Yearly fee, even when not in use once activated.
- Non-replaceable battery.
- Poor customer service.
Check Zoleo satelite communicator... might be something for you
