Garmin products in our database
- inReach Messenger Plus
The most capable inReach yet for users who want to send pictures of where they are, not just words. Iridium-network photo and voice messaging is the headline feature; everything else in the inReach playbook (two-way text, location share, SOS, Garmin Response dispatch) is intact. Won the 2025 CES Best of Innovation award.
- inReach Mini 2long term
Smaller, faster, longer battery than the original Mini. The two-way satellite messaging is the closest thing to magic in this hobby. Subscription cost is the main downside.
- inReach Mini 3 Plus
If the Messenger Plus is too big for your pocket and the Mini 2 too limited, this is the answer. Touchscreen plus photo and voice messaging in the Mini form factor, at the same $499.99 MSRP as the larger Messenger Plus.
