The Garmin inReach Mini 3 is a compact, rugged satellite communicator designed for anyone venturing beyond mobile coverage - whether that's offshore fishing, remote hiking, four-wheel driving or any adventure where staying connected could be the difference between a close call and a crisis. When cellular networks drop out, the inReach Mini 3 connects via the global Iridium satellite network, giving you the ability to send and receive text messages, share your location with family and friends, and most importantly, trigger an interactive SOS message to Garmin's 24/7 Response Centre with your GPS coordinates.
Despite its compact size, the Mini 3 packs in a 1.9" colour touchscreen, up to 350 hours of battery life, a digital compass and full GPS tracking. It pairs seamlessly with the Garmin Messenger and Garmin Explore apps on your smartphone for trip planning, contact syncing and messaging, automatically switching from Wi-Fi or cellular to the satellite network the moment you go off grid. Built to IP67 water resistance and rated for extreme temperatures, it's a capable and reliable safety device for any serious adventurer.
