When you're venturing far from roads, cell service, and civilization, one thing matters most: reliable communication – even when your smartphone has long since lost signal. That's precisely what the Garmin inReach Mini 2 is designed for. This compact GPS satellite communicator has everything you need for safe, independent adventures: two-way messaging, live tracking, GPS navigation, and an SOS button for emergencies – all via the global Iridium® satellite network .

This way you stay reachable – whether you're hiking on lonely trails, paddling through remote national parks, or camping in the mountains in bad weather. This emergency device is so small and light that you can simply attach it to your backpack strap – keeping it discreet yet always within easy reach.

Two-way communication even without mobile networks

Whether it's a quick status update, a detailed location, or a digital greeting to friends and family: with the inReach Mini 2, you can send and receive SMS and emails worldwide – even where there's no cellular network coverage. Messages are routed via the Iridium® satellite network, providing true global coverage. A virtual keyboard allows you to compose custom texts, or you can use saved templates and quick messages.

SOS function for emergencies – connected worldwide with Garmin Response

With a single button press, you send an interactive SOS message to the 24/7 Garmin ResponseSM coordination center. The center responds immediately, contacts you, analyzes the situation, and coordinates medical assistance or rescue services if needed. Not only is your location transmitted, but also your route – for targeted, rapid assistance when it truly matters.

Navigation and TracBack® – find your way back, even without a map

In the field, the inReach Mini 2 navigates you precisely to waypoints, routes, or destinations. If you want to head back or get lost, the TracBack® function automatically reverses your previous route – ensuring you reliably find your way back to the starting point.

Particularly useful: The digital compass provides accurate course information even when stationary. This ensures you always maintain your orientation – even in poor visibility or unfamiliar terrain.

Perfectly connected with the Garmin Explore™ app

Expand the functionality of your inReach Mini 2 with the free Garmin Explore™ app . Plan your trip, manage maps and waypoints, sync messages and settings, or analyze your routes afterward. The app also gives you access to topographic maps, satellite imagery, and points of interest – ideal for planning trekking tours, bikepacking adventures, or kayaking trips.

Weather forecast and LiveTrack for even greater safety

Get up-to-date weather data directly on your device – for your current location or for distant waypoints. With the LiveTrack feature, you can send a link to your loved ones. This allows them to track your current position in real time, see if you're on track, or how far you've come.

Compact, robust, durable – ready for any adventure

The inReach Mini 2 is built to last, even in the toughest conditions. Weighing just 100g and about the size of a card case, it fits easily into any jacket or backpack pocket. With its IPX7 rating, it's waterproof , shockproof (MIL-STD-810), and designed for rugged outdoor use.

The battery life is impressive:
✅ Up to 14 days in 10-minute tracking mode with a clear view of the sky
✅ Up to 30 days in energy-saving mode
✅ Up to 1 year when switched off
