About Garmin inReach Mini 2, Lightweight and Compact Satellite Communicator
Overall Feedback:
91% positive
88% praised for its pinpoint accuracy, but 12% experienced occasional errors
It is unclear whether the device is working correctly or not, even though it indicates that everything is fine.
88% appreciated its long-lasting battery, but 12% found it drained quickly
I used the GPS unit for 6-8 hours per day and it only consumed 5% battery with a clear sky.
The battery life is incredible. It has been 21 days since I last used it and the battery is still at 45%.
The battery of my handheld GPS unit lasts for 14 days in saving mode.
The battery life is adequate when operating normally, but it consumes more power when not placed in clear view of the sky due to constant signal retries and confirmation expectations for the 2-way communication device.
I read reviews about the short battery life of the device compared to the advertised 14-30 days. I thought it was just bad luck.
I was disappointed with the device's battery life. It claimed to last long, but it died after just 24 hours of use. When I turned it on again, it showed only 1% battery. I hit the SOS button, but the device died with just 3 seconds left in the countdown.
On a full charge, the battery only lasts for 24 hours, which is less than expected.
87% liked the clear display, but 13% found it hard to read in bright light
It took me some time to learn all the features of messaging, tracking, way points, and mapping.
I found finger prints and a minor scratch on the screen and antenna of my GPS unit.
The screen of my handheld GPS unit is really small, which limits the number of words visible at a time.
84% appreciated the ample storage capacity, but 16% found it limited
When I plugged it into a charger, it did not hold a charge and would not power on, indicating poor storage capacity.
78% found the interface intuitive and easy to use, but 22% found it confusing
The screen is easy to read, except for those with poor eyesight.
Creating a message from the device itself seems tedious.
I am unhappy with the Garmin device's user interface as it no longer allows me to change the text of preset messages.
The user interface is a bit clunky.
82% praised for its rugged water resistance
I purchased the device knowing I would be going on long trips into valleys with little to no signal. It has been important to have this device with me on my trip to Snowdon.
This GPS unit could be a life saver when traveling to remote areas with minimal cell service.
My favorite features of the product are its inReach messaging and 80 hr battery life.
