Peace of mind while enjoying the outdoors.

My wife and I are 68 years old and enjoy the outdoors and especially riding our sise by side in the mountains of Colorado. We decided to invest in the Garmin messenger so we have communication anywhere we travel. We recently tried it out in an area with no cell service and sent text messages, the unit worked perfectly. Hopefully we will not need it for a real emergency but it's good to know we have it. Thanks Garmin.

Great Investment for Peace of Mind

I go hiking quite a bit and I am planning to do some bigger backpacking trips this year. I bought the agar in Inreach Messenger Plus after doing extensive research on if I should get the mini or messenger. I really was looking for an SOS device I could message my family periodic updates. I didn't plan to use it as a map. I still plan to use my phone and an external charger for maps, which is one of the reasons I love this little device can also charge my phone if needed. I hope I never have to use it as an SOS device, but I'd rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it. I do wish it had a way to strap it to the strap of my bag, but I don't mind leaving it in the pockets and pulling it out when needed, or using my phone through it.

Great asset on the boat.

We used the inReach when we crossed the Gulf of Mexico from Tarpon Springs to Panama City. We were cell range for 24 hours or so but with the inReach we were able to text with friends and family. Added to the fun of the trip.
