Product Information
The Garmin inReach Mini 2 Satellite Communicator is a compact handheld that sends and receives two-way text messages and triggers an interactive SOS over the global Iridium satellite network, so you stay reachable where cell phones have no coverage. It measures 2.04" x 3.90" x 1.03" (5.17 x 9.90 x 2.61 cm), weighs 3.5 oz (100 g), is water rated to IPX7 and runs up to 14 days in the default 10-minute tracking mode. An active satellite subscription is required.
Who it is for
It suits divers, boaters, kayakers, hikers and overland travelers who leave cellular coverage behind and still want messaging, tracking and an emergency channel in a device that adds almost nothing to a pack or dry bag. Use it to text family or another inReach user from the field, share your position through a MapShare page or coordinates embedded in your messages, request an inReach weather forecast for your location or a planned waypoint, retrace your route with TracBack, and trigger an interactive SOS to Garmin Response, a 24/7 staffed emergency response coordination center.
Key details
- Two-way texting, location tracking and SOS carried over the global Iridium satellite network, with an active satellite subscription required.
- Rechargeable internal lithium-ion battery, 1,250 mAh: up to 14 days at a 10-minute tracking interval, up to 30 days at a 30-minute interval, and up to 1 year powered off.
- Water rated to IEC 60529 IPX7, which withstands incidental exposure to water of up to 1 m for up to 30 minutes.
- Sunlight-readable monochrome transflective memory-in-pixel display, 0.9" x 0.9" (23 x 23 mm), 176 x 176 pixels.
- GPS, GALILEO, QZSS and BeiDou support, a high-sensitivity receiver and an electronic compass that shows heading when you are standing still.
- Operating temperature range of -20° to 60°C (-4° to 140°F), charging from 0° to 45°C (32° to 113°F), USB-C charging.
Compatibility and sizing
Offered in Black (010-02602-01) and Flame Red (010-02602-00). The Mini 2 pairs with more than 80 Garmin devices and connects by Bluetooth and ANT+, and it is inReach remote compatible, so a paired Garmin handheld, wearable or phone can send messages, start and stop tracking and trigger SOS. It works with the Garmin Explore app and website for waypoints, courses, activities and trip planning, and with the Garmin Messenger app, which adds group messaging and smart switching between Wi-Fi, cellular and satellite. Internal storage holds 1,000 waypoints, 100 courses and 200 activities.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Garmin inReach Mini 2 waterproof?
It is water rated to IEC 60529 IPX7, which withstands incidental exposure to water of up to 1 m for up to 30 minutes. It operates from -20 to 60 degrees C (-4 to 140 degrees F).
Is the inReach Mini 2 a satellite phone, and where can I buy one?
It is a satellite communicator rather than a voice satellite phone: it sends and receives two-way text messages, shares your location and triggers an interactive SOS over the global Iridium satellite network. You can buy it here in Black (part 010-02602-01) or Flame Red (part 010-02602-00) from DiveCatalog.com, an authorized Garmin dealer. An active satellite subscription plan is required before it can communicate.
Do I need a subscription plan to use it for emergencies?
Yes. An active satellite subscription is required to access the Iridium network and communicate with the inReach Mini 2, including messaging, location tracking, inReach weather forecasts and interactive SOS. SOS alerts go to Garmin Response, a 24/7 staffed emergency response coordination center, and you can exchange messages with the coordinators while help is organized. Garmin offers satellite airtime plans.
How long does the battery last and how is it charged?
The built-in rechargeable 1,250 mAh lithium-ion battery delivers up to 14 days of continuous run time in the default 10-minute tracking mode and up to 30 days in 30-minute tracking mode. Powered off, it stays charged and ready for up to one year, which suits a device kept in a ditch kit. It charges over USB-C, at temperatures between 0 degrees and 45 degrees C (32 degrees to 113 degrees F).
Review summary
Reviewers agree the Mini 2 is small, light, and easy to carry, and that it does what it promises: staying in touch when you are beyond cell service. Several describe real peace of mind on solo trips, with the phone app making messaging and mapping simpler than the unit itself. Good to know: messages can take several minutes, and a clear view of sky matters, so canyons and cliffs slow things down. Setup and subscription activation take time, so do both well before you travel. Suited to solo hikers, hunters, and anyone heading off grid.
