Garmin has announced the inReach Mini, a new addition to its family of
satellite communicators. Measuring just under 4” tall by 2” wide and weighing 3.5 oz, inReach Mini is an
easy fit for exterior pack pockets or accessory loops.
To access the Iridium network and communicate with
your inReach Mini, an active satellite subscription is required. Depending on
your usage level, you can opt for an annual contract package or flexible
month-to-month airtime plan. Monthly plans start from £ 12.99/US$ 11.95/€
The free
Earthmate app syncs your inReach handheld via Bluetooth wireless technology
with your compatible Apple or Android device so you can access unlimited maps,
aerial imagery, and U.S. NOAA charts. Plus, Earthmate allows you to
conveniently use all of the inReach features on your paired mobile device. For
easier messaging, you can also access your phone’s contact list from the
Earthmate app to connect with fewer keystrokes.
The inReach Mini will be available in the 2nd
quarter 2018 for £ 299.99/US$ 349.99/€ 349.99.
