Full Review
The Garmin inReach Mini 2 is not optional for serious remote travel in Australia. It provides two-way text messaging and GPS location sharing via satellite from anywhere on the continent — including places where no mobile network has ever reached.
Two-Way vs PLB
Unlike a PLB which can only send a distress signal, the inReach Mini 2 allows actual two-way communication. Send a message saying you're delayed. Receive a response. Update family on your location daily. In a genuine emergency, two-way communication with rescue services dramatically improves outcomes.
