The service plan is also relatively steep, but these prices are a bit less offensive. Given that there are satellite phones in the $500-600 range, and Spot’s messenger device is $250, I really feel like the Mini should cost $100 less.
It’s not all great, however: The InReach Mini is quite expensive at $350. I imagine some people even more daring than I, on trips fare more dangerous than this one, really get a lot out of this feature.įetching the weather forecast right on the device. And yes, if you’re high up in the mountains you will probably get sporadically rained on anyway, but it’s unbelievably nice to be able to see a sustained storm coming so that you can make decisions about where and when to set up camp. Having the weather forecast is absolutely clutch, because when you’re on a multi-day hike, the forecast you saw before you set out probably won’t be relevant by your second day. I like having the option, but I would recommend doing this (and everything, honestly) on the phone because it’s a lot easier to see and your phone presumably has a color display.
You can use them two ways you can summon either a basic weather forecast or a premium one, which costs more money (we’ll get into service charges in a moment), and you can do this on the device itself or in the Earthmate app on your phone. The InReach Mini has another nifty feature - weather forecasts. A text message in Garmin's Earthmate app.
