Garmin inReach Mini 3 — Rugged Global Satellite Communicator with Color Touchscreen, 2-Way Texting & SOS

Stay connected off the grid

The Garmin inReach Mini 3 is a compact satellite communicator designed to keep you in touch when cell service is unavailable. It leverages the global Iridium network with an active subscription, enabling messaging, location sharing, and weather updates from almost anywhere. Remember to verify local regulations, as some jurisdictions restrict satellite devices.

Peace of mind with emergency coordination

Trigger an interactive SOS message with your coordinates to Garmin Response, a 24/7 international coordination center. This feature is designed for safety on remote trips, giving you control to request help as needed while you stay on the move.

Text beyond cellular limits

Exchange messages even when you’re out of range of traditional networks. Satellite texting keeps friends and teammates updated, coordinating plans or checking in when you’re off the grid. Note that an active satellite subscription is required, and local rules may vary.

Rugged, user-friendly design

Weighing only a few ounces, the Mini 3 combines a high-resolution color touchscreen with a tough shell built to endure impact, cold weather, and dusty environments. It carries IP67 protection, supporting rain and splash exposure during outdoor adventures.

Power that travels with you

The internal rechargeable battery supports up to 350 hours of 10‑minute tracking, helping you stay visible to loved ones and maintain safety checks. LiveTrack lets friends follow your progress in real time when paired with the Garmin Messenger app on your phone.

Smart features you’ll actually use

Weather reports and forecasts help you plan next steps, while the device pairs with the Garmin Explore app for planning, navigation, and trip logging. The intuitive touchscreen plus physical buttons ensures easy use even when you’re wearing gloves.
