The Garmin inReach Mini 3 enables connectivity off the grid. The lightweight SOS satellite communicator with color touchscreen displays. Keep in touch beyond cell service, and exchange texts and more via the global Iridium® satellite network with an active satellite subscription (some jurisdictions regulate or prohibit the use of satellite communication devices). Explore with peace of mind knowing you can trigger an interactive SOS message to Garmin Response℠ — a 24/7-staffed international emergency coordination center. Send group messages or use LiveTrack™ location sharing to let friends and family follow your location while you’re on the move and see data such as distance covered, time elapsed and elevation (when used with your compatible smartphone and the Garmin Messenger™ app). The rechargeable battery supports up to 350 hours with 10-minute inReach tracking.
