Garmin inReach Mini 2
Compact satellite communicator with two-way messaging and SOS for remote travel
The Garmin inReach Mini 2 is the essential safety device for anyone travelling in remote Australia. Two-way satellite messaging, GPS tracking and a 24/7 SOS service give you a lifeline when you're well beyond mobile coverage. At just 100g, there's no excuse not to carry one.
Our Verdict
The inReach Mini 2 uses the Iridium satellite network — the only truly global satellite network — to provide two-way text messaging from anywhere on Earth. You can send and receive messages, share your GPS location with family and friends via a live tracking link, and trigger an SOS that connects you directly to the GEOS International Emergency Response Coordination Centre. The companion Garmin Explore app makes trip planning and waypoint management easy. A subscription plan is required for satellite messaging services.
