Garmin inReach Mini 3 Plus Compact SOS Satellite Communicator with Photo & Voice Messaging

Home is closer than you think with the Garmin inReach Mini 3 Plus, a rugged evolution in satellite communication that bridges the gap between off-grid adventure and staying in touch. While previous generations kept you connected via simple text, the Mini 3 Plus revolutionizes backcountry communication by introducing a built-in speaker, microphone, and a vivid 1.9-inch color touchscreen. This allows you to send and receive 30-second voice messages and share photos directly through the global Iridium® satellite network, providing a richer, more emotional connection to loved ones even when you are miles beyond cellular range. The interface is smoother than ever; you can type longer messages (up to 1,600 characters) directly on the device or pair it with the Garmin Messenger™ app, which automatically switches between Wi-Fi, cellular, and satellite to ensure your message always takes the fastest, most cost-effective path.

Beyond its new communication features, this device remains a critical survival tool built for the most demanding environments. Despite its compact, palm-sized design, the Mini 3 Plus is a powerhouse of endurance, offering up to 350 hours of battery life with 10-minute tracking intervals. It is built to IP67 water ratings and impact standards, ensuring it can handle cockpit turbulence or a trek through the wilderness without failing. For peace of mind, the dedicated SOS button triggers an interactive rescue response from the 24/7-staffed Garmin Response℠ center, while features like TracBack® routing and location sharing ensure you can always navigate your way home. Whether you are a pilot flying remote routes or an explorer on the ground, this is the ultimate lifeline that fits in your pocket.
