Garmin inReach Mini 2, Lightweight and Compact Satellite Communicator, Hiking Handheld, Orange

Excelente, yo lo uso para que mi familia me ubique cuando salgo en la moto, hay que comprar un paquete de emergencia, bajar una app de Garmin, nada difícil.

Really pleased. Bought this after having to be rescued by a helicopter in the USA where we had no signal at the scene of a medical incident and my wife had to drive off and leave me to get help. Tested in regularly in the US recently when out of mobile / cellphone coverage and it worked perfectly, linked to the relevant Garmin App on my phone - you do not need to have mobile / cellphone signal to do this, the device relays the message on the phone via Satellite. You do need an active subscription to the relevant Garmin service. It will not work without this. It is also NOT a personal locator beacon don't mistake it for one or assume it functions like one. This allows two -way comms.

Pues un elemento de seguridad muy útil para quien haga actividades en zonas sin cobertura. Resistente, pequeño y de calidad Garmin. Puedes enviar mensajes a contactos, compartir ubicación y enviar una señal SOS al centro de Garmin para que den la alarma a los servicios de auxilio de la zona en la que te encuentres. Este modelo a mí modo de ver es mejor que el mini 3 para actividades acuáticas por carecer de pantalla táctil y tener botones físicos. No me pareció difícil de configurar. Requiere suscripción.

Never be out of network again! This gives us peace of mind when we are hiking, skiing or camping in the backcountry. I bought the scuba case as well, and bring these on every scuba dive. From the most remote mountain tops, to the bottom of the sea, I can send a text, or alert search and rescue of my location. Amazing technology, and one of the most important pieces of safety equipment to have in your kit.

Bought this device which is advertised to have a 14 days lasting battery as well could reach up to 30 days. On top of the cost of the equipment I activated ($50) plus got a freedom plan ($25). Had read a few reviews complaining about the short battery of this device compared to the 14-30 days advertised but thought it was only bad luck. First hike using it, the battery last less than 2 days which is very disappointing, tested again the equipment at home and same thing battery didn’t last 2 full days. I returned the equipment asking for a refund that seems to be on the way and I called Garmin to see if the activation fee and 1st usage payment could be cancelled and the answer was NO. If you need a reliable equipment that the battery will last your weekend hiking, this is not the right one for you.
