Two good devices. I opted for the 67i, which has 160 hours of battery life, although, I've never gone that long to test it. As an addition to traditional map-reading, the 67i is brilliant at warning when you're going the wrong way, a lifesaver at times. Can't wait to see more videos.

From what I understand, the 67i has waaaay better battery life. It also has a much more accurate signal. Would those upgrades/improvements be enough for you to consider the 67i over the Mini 2? Or are you still happier with the Mini 2 even still?

I have used the mini 2 for work, and it's pretty basic. I bought the 67i and I love it! I was debating on the two, and after a lot of research I went for the 67i, and I'm so glad I did!

Something a lot of people dont think about with these is that after you hit the SOS, you really need an effective way to communicate with rescue. With the 66/67 you can do this on device, but with the mini you really need a phone to type with (lets be real, the on device typing is horribly slow). Often a rescue will go through multiple groups (garmin, 911, medical professionals, forest service, coast guard...etc.) and each group needs specific information from you in real time to be the most effective. If your phone dies, effective rescue (including self rescue using its navigation) is massively reduced on the mini.

Adding to this, if you are in a situation where everything is cold and wet, your phone touch screen may not function (try cold wet fingers on a wet screen, it just doesn't always work). The hard buttons on the 66i/67i will still work. It's cumbersome, but it works and you can still tell rescuers or family what is going on (hypothermia, a specific injury, illness, ...) so they can respond appropriately for the situation. Voice of experience here. I have been in an "atmospheric river" downpour with sleet and snow. My fingers were so cold and wet I couldn't even get my iPhone 14 Pro to unlock, much less send a message, but I was able to communicate with the hard buttons on the 66i. After that experience, I would never trust a device that doesn't have hard buttons for custom messages.

After activating SOS, you dont actually NEED to do anything else, you dont need to respond at all, the signal for help via location has been raised and help will be on the way, what kind of response depends on location data received from your device to Garmin Response. Obviously, if you can, you will communicate with Garmin Response, but if you cant, you dont need to.

@@-zerocool- this is not necessarily true. If there isn't a route to you for emergency response, they could be delayed by days and that could be the difference between life and death

@@SometimesImAnAthlete Similar experience, I killed an elk deep in the back country a few winters ago and I needed help to pack it out. It was raining so hard and so cold and I couldn’t use the screen on my iPhone. Having those hard buttons on the inreach really saved my skin as the rain went nonstop into the night.

I bought one of the first inReach devices and still have it working and it saved my live near Kanchenjunga BC . Next to it I now use it during solo trips into Africa to let my family know where I am and safe and feedback If my parents or anyone else wants me to return home. ... ! It was worth any penny. .

Got the 67i as it's so much easier to use and has way more features. It's also faster and more reliable. I used the mini 2 a few times for work, but opted for the 67i and I'm SO GLAD i did.

Excellent video. I did purchase a Mini 2, but struggled with the decision for a couple of months because I had no idea what to purchase. I too, looked at the 66i but eventually passed when I learned the Mini 2 could do more than the 66i. More so it was learning with the mini-2, you use your phone and Garmin explore to see maps.

you get the battery operated one. so you can replace the battery and go home if you run out of power your screwed. you can turn the gps off to save battery. or power save mode. not saying anything bad just look at a etrex. just saying.
