User questions & answers

Question:	Is there any service fee or any monthly cost
Answer:	There are no monthly fees, you just need to register the device. It is strictly for rescue only--not like some beacons that allow you to send out an I'm OK ping. The battery is supposed to last 6 years.
Question:	How easy would it be to accidentally activate the beacon, thanks
Answer:	Not very easy. You have to deliberately remove the top first. I have never had a problem in two years. I carry it in my backpack.
Question:	how do you make sure the battery doesn’t die while you’re out on a hike
Answer:	Do the test function outlined in the owners manual.
Question:	It is a one time use? If yes, then after using what do you do with it? Send it back to manufacture or just throw it in the garbage
Answer:	I believe you would send it back to the manufacturer for a battery replacement. This service is recommended after about 5 years anyway to ensure you have good batteries. Then it can be used an additional 5 years before it is retired. Hopefully, if you ever need to use the device to summon a rescue, you won't be worried about the cost of a battery replacement.
Question:	What is the range
Answer:	It works wold wide in any location as it communicates with the satellite. However once it's activated it will be transmitting signal for 24 hours. If you are in a distant location that search and rescue needs more than 24 hours to find you then we recommend getting any of our EPIRBs, GlobalFix V4, Pro, or iPro. They last from 48 to 65 hours.
Question:	Once activated, is there any type of confirmation that your signal has been received
Answer:	The unit will keep blinking while the signal is been transmitted. There is no return confirmation only sending out. However, you are able to test the unit before going out on a trip by performing a self-test.
Question:	how difficult would it be to accidentally activate this device
Answer:	I'd say fairly difficult. That yellow flap on the front protects the activation mechanism and the spring is fairly robust.
Question:	will it work from inside a car or rv
Answer:	Yes. It is a radio frequency- sat freq. may not work inside a cave, deep and narrow canyon, or below a multi-level parking garage.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it really use AAA batteries
Answer:	Hello, XL should be more suitable.
Question:	Once activated how long will it transmit before the battery runs dead
Answer:	It’s stretchy material so you shouldn’t have a issue it fits pretty nicely
Question:	How do you know when the batteries will expire; is the unit marked with an expiration date
Answer:	Last year on a two week trip to French Polynesia, I wore the two long sleeved shirts nearly everyday for outside activities. The shirts were very comfortable and functional with their sun screen properties.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the phone you are sending a message to need a special app to receive it? Also, has anyone tried this in the Adirondack Mountains
Answer:	All inReach devices have the ability to send a message to someone's email or SMS number. The recipient does not need a special app, just the ability to receive the message and reply. While I have not hiked in the Adirondack Mountains, I know that we have beta testers in that area and can report lots of successful trips in the White Mountains of NH and the mountains of Maine.
Question:	How do you send messages? Is there a keyboard
Answer:	The inReach Mini doesn't have a virtual keyboard like the inReach Explorer+ but it does have a vertical scrolling list of letters, numbers, and symbols. This is similar to the interface you see on a Garmin wearable like the Fenix and it lets you send a custom message to one of your contacts or reply to an incoming message. You can also select and send one of your Quick Text replies that you modified before leaving on your trip. Selecting the Quick Text "Got your message, will reply when I get to camp." will save you the time to type a message and still let people know you heard from them. There are also Preset messages that are created ahead of time with specific text and specific recipients. Send "I'm checking in, everything is okay!" to your list of friends and family that are following along. Last option, the inReach Mini pairs via Bluetooth with the Earthmate app on your smartphone to let you use the touchscreen keyboard on that device, just like you do with your other texting apps. This is a good option if the weather is nice enough to take your phone out.
Question:	How much is the subscription fee to send & receive messages
Answer:	Depends on the service, the cheaper plan is $11.95 month for an anual contract or $14.95 / month for the "freedom plan" which you can suspend when you don't use it (for example during winter), although for the freedom plans you will need to pay $25.95 per year to keep the service active. For all intended purposes is like a cellphone plan pre paid or annual contract. More details: https://explore.garmin.com/en-US/inreach/
Question:	What is the tracking points on the monthly plan? Can they be turned off? Also what is the location pings
Answer:	There can be same confusion to the terms used to describe features on the InReach. I will try to define each and show its relevance... LOG INTERVAL: This is an internal feature of the InReach that records where you are at repeating intervals of time. You can set the interval. This log is your record of the journey. On the Explorer+ with its internal map these log points will be used to connect a line showing your locations over time as you travel. There is no cost for Log points. TRACKING POINTS: These are a unique and separate set of location recordings that are SENT via satellite and displayed on your MapShare site to let friends and family watch your progress. Since they are transmitted from your InReach in the backcountry via the Iridium satellites they cost you. The subscription plans have options that offer no included tracking points on the lowest cost plan (so you pay 10 cents for each one sent) to unlimited tracking points included with higher priced plans. LOCATION PINGS: A family member ot friend to whom you have given the password for your MapPage site will see a map. If you do not have tracking turned on they can locate your current position by clicking on a LOCATE button. This sends a signal via satellite to your InReach which respons with your location info. It is then displayed on the MapShare map. These location requests cost each time. They are included or not depending on the plan level you are using. WEYPOINTS: These are specific locations that you use to plan a hike. They are not related to your current location but where you would like to be in the future. They are created by you at home on your computer at your unique setup and planning site. So before your trip you create and save a series of weypoints or places that you wish to visit as you travel. Many people will set weypoints for important locations along there expected hike, Such as cross-trail locations, vista overlooks, and resupply locations or overnight huts. Once created they are saved on the Garmin server in your account. When you sync your InReach they are passed and stored within your InReach so they are available off-grid. Weypoints can also be added from the backcountry while hiking. They are available for your navigation on the InReach Explorer+ or on the EarthMate app on your phone connected to any InReach. Newly created weypoints from the trail will automatically be sent FREE to your Garmin account and show on your MapShare site. There is no cost to create and use weypoints. ROUTES: Like weypoints, you may create routes at home from your setup and planning site. On a computer you use a map to define the exact route you wish to follow by clicking on various locations along your intended hike. The system will connect these locations with a line which it calls a route. These routes may be named and saved in your account. Routes may include predefined weypoints but it is not necessary. Routes are synced to your InReach device. They are free. MESSAGES: These are ether text (SMS) or email messages created by you on your trip and sent to anyone. These messages are limited to 160 characters which includes the addresses. Unlike most other satellite message devices, the InReach will also let you receive both text and email messages from anyone. There is a cost for each message sent or received because it uses the Iridium satellites. InReach subscription plans allow a minimum of 10 to an unlimited number of messages each month depending on the plan you choose. So you can control costs, Garmin gives you the ability to limit those who can send you a message by a password to your MapShare site. Any message you send allows for a reply. SOS: This is a special button that you press in a true emergency. It sends your exact location to GEOS, a search and rescue control service. That alone will send help to you. If you are able, GEOS will converse via FREE messages to help your rescue. I hope these definitions help.

Your inReach Mini is also a supported device for the Lockheed Martin Flight Services (LMFS) Adverse Condition Alerting Service (ACAS), Surveillance-Enhanced Search and Rescue (SE-SAR) and Enhanced Special Reporting Services (eSRS). If you register for ACAS information, alerts provided via LMFS prompt you to call for an abbreviated briefing to address any specific adverse condition situation that might affect your flight-planned routing. Likewise, automatic monitoring provided by the SE-SAR service enables the system to identify potential flight emergency situations and/or signals to promptly initiate search and rescue procedures for your aircraft.

Includes Unlimited Cloud Storage and Trip Planning

Every inReach device comes with free access to the cloud-powered Garmin Explore website to plan your trips with routes and waypoints, create preset messages and quick texts, sync and manage your device settings, update your firmware, link your social media accounts, store all your location tracking data and much more.

Travel Lighter, Communicate Smarter

Measuring just under 4” tall by 2” wide and weighing a mere 4.23 oz, inReach Mini is fit for exterior pack pockets or accessory loops. It connects for messaging via the global Iridium satellite network. You don’t have to worry about being within range of a cell tower or encountering spotty coverage. Your inReach Mini works anywhere.

Who will answer your SOS? GEOS will

GEOS is a world leader in emergency response solutions and monitoring. They’ve supported rescues in more than 140 countries, saving many lives in the process. And they’re standing by 24/7 to respond to your SOS, track your device and notify the proper contacts and emergency responders in your area. Once you’ve triggered a distress signal, you can expect a delivery confirmation that help is on the way and be continually updated on the status of your response team.

Multiple Ways to Connect

Wireless unit-to-unit connectivity lets you remotely control inReach Mini to send and receive messages using compatible Garmin handhelds, wearables or other mobile devices (See Garmin/ble for compatibility). GPS-based location tracking lets you share your whereabouts with those at home or out in the field. You can also post your adventures on social media. For basic navigation, there’s an electronic compass that shows bearing and distance along a route or to a waypoint.

Pair with Your Mobile Device

For even more capability and convenience, 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.

Get Weather on the Go

The optional inReach weather forecast service provides detailed updates directly to your inReach Mini or compatible device paired with the Earthmate app, so you’ll know what conditions to expect en route. Basic and premium weather packages are offered. And you can request weather forecasts for your current location or any other waypoint or destination on your itinerary.

Rugged, Robust inReach

Tough, durable, impact resistant (MIL-STD-810F) and water-rated to IPX7, inReach Mini is built to keep you up and running. It includes an internal, rechargeable lithium battery for up to 50 hours’ use at the default 10-minute tracking mode and up to 20 days in power saving mode. Battery life may vary, depending on settings. Recharge via the microUSB power cable or optional in-vehicle 12-V charger.
