Gadgets: Garmin Inreach Mini2 Satellite Messenger

Gary Morgan · Mar 3, 2024

I was curious if anyone is using any of the Satellite Messengers on the market today. I know a few rider friends that use them for their rides to Alaska, but from a day-to-day use, I don't know anyone. Curious other thoughts. I find the Garmin InReach Mini2 to be invaluable and did a video on it. Let me know your thoughts.

Hi,
I bought one for bicycle touring, and now also use it when motorbike touring, if I'm going far afield. Not everyday, just for long trips, especially to places I could end up in trouble. You can cancel the subscription when not using it, and then start it up again ahead of a tour. I ride solo, so it gives me a bit of piece of mind. It's also a nice way to share your location with anyone you want via Garmin's website, or Spotwalla. YMMV
