When conditions get rough or you are wearing thick gloves, the physical side buttons remain fully functional.
24/7 Interactive Emergency SOS
Explore remote terrains with total peace of mind. In critical scenarios, triggering the dedicated, guarded SOS button instantly establishes a 2way communication line with Garmin Response, a globally recognized, round-the-clock emergency coordination hub.

Advanced Off-Grid Navigation & LiveTrack
Keep your footprint secure with built-in digital compass tracking, TracBack® routing to safely guide you back to your starting point, and seamless compatibility with the Garmin Explore™ app for comprehensive route planning. Turn on LiveTrack or MapShare™ to let family track your progress, including live distance, time elapsed, and elevation metrics.
Built for Extreme Backcountry Endurance
Engineered to withstand the harshest environments, the inReach Mini 3 Plus features an IP67 dust and water rating and is built to rigorous thermal and impact standards. The internal rechargeable battery keeps you operational for up to 350 hours (over 14 days) in standard 10-minute tracking mode, minimizing weight in your pack.

An active satellite subscription from Garmin is required to access the Iridium network for live tracking, messaging, and SOS functionalities. Always verify local regulations regarding satellite communication devices before embarking on international travel.
