Garmin inReach Mini 3 Plus is a rugged, compact GPS satellite communicator designed to keep you connected even when you’re outside of cellular coverage and deep in the backcountry. Built on the global Iridium satellite network, it allows you to send and receive longer text messages (up to 1,600 characters), exchange photos, and send or receive 30-second voice messages when paired with Garmin’s Messenger app, providing robust communication options off-grid. The device features a sunlight-readable, high-resolution color touchscreen and a built-in speaker and microphone for intuitive use, along with LiveTrack location sharing so friends and family can follow your journey in real time. With interactive SOS functionality to contact Garmin’s 24/7 emergency response center, turn-by-turn navigation when paired with Garmin Explore, and weather forecasts, it’s built to support safety and navigation in extreme conditions. Its IP67 water resistance and rugged design ensure durability against harsh elements, while up to 350 hours of battery life in tracking mode keeps you connected for extended trips.
