Description
The Garmin inReach Mini 3 Plus is a compact satellite communicator designed to provide messaging, location sharing, navigation and interactive SOS functionality when travelling beyond conventional mobile coverage. With an active inReach subscription, the device uses the global Iridium satellite network to exchange text, photo and voice messages, while its built-in speaker and microphone allow voice messaging directly from the device.
A 1.9-inch colour touchscreen provides direct access to menus, messaging and received photos, while the virtual keyboard supports custom text messages of up to 1,600 characters. Built-in multi-band GPS, a digital compass, TracBack routing and LiveTrack support navigation and location sharing, with additional trip planning and mapping functionality available through the Garmin Explore app.

Important: Satellite communication requires an appropriate view of the sky and can be affected by terrain, buildings, vegetation and environmental conditions. The inReach Mini 3 Plus should complement appropriate navigation, communication and emergency planning rather than replace suitable preparation and backup equipment for the intended activity.
