Thread: Garmin InReach Mini vs Spot Gen 4

Am trying to decide between the two, both have pros and cons and the subscription is about the same,

Cons:
Spot- One way message only, apparently can be somewhat patchy in it's communication with sats (although I don't know if that is actually true), seems to be a bit more of a pain in ass interface.

InReach mini- twice the cost, a lot of functions I don't necessarily need.

Pros:
Spot- much cheaper, probably do all I need

Mini- paired with smart phone/other garmin device does it all to some degree, actually shows message status.

Already have a stand alone GPS and also topo apps on phone, anybody have any thoughts/experiences to add?
