The Garmin inReach Mini 3 Plus is a compact, rugged satellite communicator that keeps you in touch beyond cell coverage through the Iridium satellite network with an active satellite plan. Its high-resolution color touchscreen and on-device keyboard let you send and receive messages, request weather forecasts for your destination, and follow courses planned in the Garmin Explore app.
Location sharing and LiveTrack let friends and family follow your progress, while TracBack routing helps you navigate back along your route. In an emergency, an interactive SOS message goes to Garmin Response for 24/7 coordination. The included loop carabiner clips the device to a vest or pack for trail runs, hikes, and remote trips.
