Garmin inReach Mini 3 Plus Overview
Global Satellite Network
Instead of relying on cellphone coverage, your messages, SOS alerts, and location tracking are transferred via the global Iridium satellite network.
Flexible Satellite Airtime Plans
To access the Iridium network and communicate with your inReach Mini 3, an active satellite subscription is required. You can move between plans as your needs change - or suspend service at no cost when you don't need it.
Two-Way Messaging
Exchange text messages with loved ones back home, post to social media, or communicate inReach-to-inReach in the field.
Interactive SOS Alerts
In case of emergency, trigger an interactive SOS message to Garmin Response, a 24/7 staffed emergency response coordination center.
Voice Messages
Use the built-in speaker and microphone on the device or your compatible smartphone paired to the Garmin Messenger™ app to send a 30-second voice1 message, no cell coverage needed. You can also read transcribed voice messages on the color display.
Photo Sharing
Share photos of your adventures when you pair the device with your compatible smartphone using the Garmin Messenger app. You can also view received photos right on your device's color display.
Location Sharing
Share your location at any time using your LiveTrack page or with your coordinates embedded in your messages.
TracBack Routing
Should you get lost, the TracBack routing feature navigates you back to your starting point the same way you came—right on your device.
Check-In Messages
Send simple check-in messages that do not count toward your allotted text messages.
Compact, Rugged Design
Don't let the 3.9 x 2.2" size and 4.3 oz weight fool you. The inReach Mini 2 is tough, durable, impact resistant (MIL-STD-810), and water resistant to IPX7.
Digital Compass & GPS
The built-in antenna automatically acquires satellites to update your latitude and longitude positions. You'll get global satellite reception in wooded, dense and remote locations. The compass allows you to get accurate heading information—even when you're not moving.
Garmin Weather Forecast Service
Get detailed weather updates on inReach Mini 2 or a paired compatible device. You can even request forecasts for your current location or other waypoints and destinations on your itinerary.
Garmin Explore App
Sync with the Garmin Explore website or mobile app on your compatible smartphone for navigation, waypoints, courses, activities, and collections. Also get access to trip planning and topographical mapping. You can easily find your contacts with the Garmin Messenger app and your compatible smartphone.
Seamless Connection
Use the Garmin Messenger app with Wi-Fi wireless technology or the cellular connection of your smartphone to send messages. Once you're beyond cell service or Wi-Fi connection, the device seamlessly switches to the satellite network.

Garmin inReach Mini 3 Plus Reviews
Significant improvement in many ways.

This is a significant improvement over previous versions. The higher transmit power makes a significant difference in time to transmit messages (in my experience). The ability to transmit a photo is a significant upgrade as well. Finally, the user interface is much improved over early versions of the Mini and battery life is signigicantly improved as well. Great product and worth the upgrade.
even better than expected

I bought this for back country skiing and mountain biking. I was mainly interested in the SOS features, but the activity tracking, MMS messaging over satellite, mapping features, weather reports, and the ability to do live GPS tracking were all added bonuses that have been great to use so far. Plus the battery life is very long, so you can stay out for many days and not worry about needing to charge it. Also the satellite connection is much better than smart phones that claim to do satellite messaging as well.
