  • Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) review of inReach Mini...
Color: Orange Style: InReach Mini Pattern: Communicator
I took the inReach Mini on a week-long trip to the BWCA last week. I normally go to the BWCA without any means of outside communication and in 45 years of canoeing there and in Quetico I've never had an emergency that communication would have helped. But several years ago we took a rented satellite phone on a trip, and this time we took an inReach, not because we feared an emergency, but because we needed to remain in touch about things going on at home. So why not rent a satellite phone again? Because the inReach allows text communication--and you can own, rather than rent, the satellite communicator for a reasonable price. The inReach doesn't allow voice, only short text messages. Outgoing and incoming messages are limited to 160 characters and can be sent to any cellular phone or to any email account. Messages are not sent immediately from the communicator--satellite connection must be made--and there is often a 10-minute lag between texts being sent from outside and their reception on the inReach. The advantage of the inReach is that it costs only $300 to own, and you can sign up for monthly access to the satellite network for message packages ranging from $20 to $60 a month, plus a $25 yearly access fee. Monthly plans can be for as many or as few months as you would like in a given year, provided you pay the $25 access fee. I signed up for an unlimited-message $60 plan for the month of the BWCA trip. In addition to messaging, the inReach works with a normal iPhone or Android phone to provide GPS mapping and weather reports. Weather reports use DarkSky's reporting system and were basic, but sufficient for planning our days in the BWCA. The inReach's battery lasted all week used about thirty minutes a day solely for communication. At the end of the week the battery hadn't fallen below 75 percent. The inReach can be left on to passively track your route (and report it via satellite), but we did not need route tracking, nor did we want to carry the extra battery packs necessary to recharge an always-on unit used for that purpose. Now, as to use in the BWCA in particular... The inReach uses Garmin's Earthmate GPS mapping software on a phone. It's pretty good software and works nicely on the phone with or without the satellite communicator. But for the BWCA it's insufficient as a front-line mapping solution because Earthmate maps provide neither BWCA campsite locations nor portage locations or lengths. Basic weather reports require one message each (40 message pack costs $35/month). A basic weather report covers several days with three hour gaps between condition reports the first day and fewer each subsequent day. A premium report, available for a separate $1 fee, covers more days and gives more information for each day. This was helpful in the BWCA, especially the wind reports which give daily wind speed and direction information, though not more granular than day-by-day. If you've been in the BWCA you know that wind conditions are almost more important than temperature or rain conditions. Peace of mind. I've never had an emergency in the BWCA (worse than a bear eating some of our supplies), but I had a friend whose son sustained severe, third-degree burns in Quetico before satellite phones existed. God provided a team of powerful, EMT-trained canoeists to carry the boy through the night to a hospital. But having a means of getting an SOS out is reassuring, and it's one of the reasons I bought the inReach. If you're taking young children of your own, or overseeing a trip on which you're taking the children of others, I would recommend this communicator. It has a separate, distinctly-labeled, difficult-to-engage-accidentally SOS button that reports your emergency and location via satellite to an emergency center from which aid will be dispatched. Finally, on a rather mundane note, last winter all the pay phones at the BWCA's main entry points were removed, which means you can no longer call your outfitter from a payphone and thus you must either exit at the location of your outfitter, or find a house or business to call for pickup from. Our outfitter didn't inform us of this change and so we exited at the location on Seagull Lake we had always used in the past--only to find an empty pay phone booth. We were able to text the outfitter's phone number to family members in Ohio, and they called to have us picked up. Without the inReach it would have been a long walk.... ... show more

Color: Orange Style: InReach Mini Pattern: Communicator
I bought this for my trip down the Grand Canyon last fall. Not only does it maintain a great connection to satellites, the user interface with an iPhone is excellent. In the Garmin app, you send text messages in just the same manner as with a normal cell connection - the texting software looks the same and works the same. It just takes a little longer - like 1-2 minutes. The text message automatically includes gps location as well. It worked perfectly for text messaging and sending my location from the Grand Canyon. Further, the guide company and the park service rangers all agreed this device has worked very reliably for other people in the canyon. Sadly, on our trip, a participant broke his arm in a rapid, and we had to evacuate him from the trip. We were able to communicate with the outside world to arrange pickup for him at a trailhead. Also, we had a severe storm on the 3-week trip. Checking the weather forecast feature with the InReach helped us to plan our days and campsites around the worst of the storm. Lastly, I was able to text my 6 year old daughter, and she could click the link to see a satellite image of my location, which made being away from her a little easier. Another great feature is the website and account subscription. It is easy to use and clear about charges, and the best thing is that you can turn it on and off in 1-month intervals! No annual fee here. Prices are very reasonable for what you are getting. You can use it without a cellphone too, and the interface is pretty good, but a cell is easier. One last thing: a park ranger explained that this is actually BETTER than a Sat phone because the audio on a sat phone can be difficult to hear, or can cut out when it loses it's satellite, or can cut out as the battery dies. This device gets a simple clear text out, and saves you the frustration and misunderstanding that comes with bad phone connections. Makes sense. I used a solar charger to keep it charged. This device is of the highest quality and the service is just outstanding. ... show more
