Garmin is offering discounts on its InReach Mini satellite communicators ahead of REI’s annual Anniversary Sale, which starts on March 15. The Mini 2 is available for $249.99, a $150 discount, while the Mini 3 is priced at $399.99, $50 off.
Details on the Mini 2 and Mini 3
Both devices are favored for their ruggedness and battery life, with the Mini 3 featuring a color touchscreen for easier navigation. This model launched in late December and is currently at its lowest price.
Features and Functionality
The InReach Mini models use the Iridium satellite network for messaging, location sharing, and SOS alerts. The Mini 3 Plus adds photo and voice messaging support. Both devices are more durable and have longer battery life compared to smartphones.
Subscription Plans
Users need to subscribe to Garmin’s InReach Consumer Plans, starting at $7.99 per month, plus a $39.99 activation fee. Messaging limits apply, but the plans cater well to backcountry use.
