inReach® Mini 3 Plus with Photo and Voice Messaging

Remain connected even in remote areas with the inReach Mini 3 and inReach Mini 3 Plus, which are lightweight SOS satellite communicators featuring vibrant color touchscreen displays.

With an active satellite subscription, you can maintain communication beyond cellular service through two-way texting and LiveTrack™ location sharing — all while exploring with the assurance that you can initiate an interactive SOS message to Garmin ResponseSM, our international emergency coordination center staffed 24/7. The inReach Mini 3 Plus introduces additional methods to share your experiences with friends and family. This device allows for the easy sending and receiving of voice messages, and it can be paired with your compatible smartphone via the Garmin Messenger™ app to share photos.

Both the inReach Mini 3 and Mini 3 Plus have undergone extensive durability testing and are engineered to function in extreme temperatures and challenging outdoor conditions. The robust built-in antenna efficiently acquires satellites to consistently update and share your GPS location, enabling you to explore with assurance. Furthermore, the global Iridium® satellite network ensures your connectivity extends far beyond the reach of cellular networks.

For adventurers who roam across land, water, and sky, the Garmin inReach Mini 3 is your compact lifeline to the outside world. When you’ve pushed far past the boundary of cell towers, this tough little communicator keeps you linked through a truly worldwide satellite network. Whether you’re trekking deep into the backcountry, navigating remote lakes, or flying off-grid, your ability to check in, request help, or share your progress remains firmly within reach.

Built to endure harsh environments, the Mini 3 features a bright, responsive 1.9" color touchscreen wrapped in a compact, impact-resistant body. Its rugged build and IP67 water rating let it thrive in rainstorms, river spray, desert heat, and winter cold. Don’t let its small footprint fool you, this device offers exceptional endurance, with up to 350 hours of runtime when using 10-minute tracking, giving explorers and outdoor professionals the freedom to travel without power anxiety.

Communication stays simple and flexible. You can type and send messages directly from the touchscreen or pair the device with your smartphone using the Garmin Messenger™ app for faster typing, group chats, reactions, and easy access to your phone’s contacts.

The Mini 3 Plus lets you compose long-form text messages or pair it with the Garmin Messenger™ app for faster typing, group chats, reactions, and photo uploads. Send snapshots of your surroundings, receive images from others, or listen to voice messages that arrive through the satellite network.

When Wi-Fi or cell coverage is available, the device uses it automatically and once you move out of range, it switches back to satellite connectivity without any input from you. No matter where your journey takes you, your messages keep moving.

When safety becomes a priority, the Mini 3 stands ready. If an emergency arises, a single command sends a distress message containing your coordinates to a dedicated, 24/7 emergency coordination team that can communicate with you and arrange the help you need. You can also enable location sharing so friends and family can watch your movement in real time seeing your pace, elevation, and travel history offering peace of mind for both you and those waiting at home.

Trip planning becomes smoother when you combine the Mini 3 with the Garmin Explore™ app. Map out your route ahead of time, sync it to the device, and follow it on your adventure. And if you ever need to backtrack, the Mini 3’s return-route feature guides you step-by-step back to your starting point. You can also pull up weather updates for your current position or future waypoints, giving you more control over decisions in changing conditions.

Designed for serious explorers, the inReach Mini 3 is a tool you’ll want on every expedition. Its digital compass, accurate satellite positioning, shareable waypoints, and seamless device-to-device sharing capabilities make it a reliable partner wherever you roam. Light in your hand yet powerful in function, it delivers the confidence to venture farther, stay connected, and bring the wild within reach—because with the right gear, home is always closer than it seems.

The Mini 3 Plus adds the ability to not only Send Texts, But Photos and Voice Messages too!
