Garmin InReach Mini 3 Black

Stay connected off the grid with inReach® Mini 3, the lightweight SOS satellite communicator with a colour touchscreen display. Keep in touch beyond mobile service, and exchange text messages and more 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 centre. Let friends and family follow your trip progress with LiveTrack™ location sharing; requires use of the Garmin Messenger™ smartphone app.

TEXT MESSAGES

Use the keyboard on the touchscreen display to exchange text messages1 directly on the device. Or, connect your compatible smartphone to the Garmin Messenger™ app and exchange text messages, send emojis and reactions, or start a group chat.

SOS MESSAGING

Explore with peace of mind knowing you can send an interactive SOS message1 with your GPS coordinates to Garmin Response, our 24/7-staffed international coordination centre, for help in an emergency. And, instead of relying on tower-based mobile phone coverage, your messages are sent via the global Iridium satellite network.

LIVETRACK™ SHARING

With an active inReach satellite subscription, you can easily let friends or family follow your location while you’re on the move; no need to point your device directly toward the sky to find satellites. From your web-based LiveTrack page, they can see your progress, including distance, time and elevation.
