Massachusetts has areas where cell phone coverage doesn’t
exist and /or cell reception is inconsistent. My regular weekend hiking
location(s) falls into little or no cell service. This concerns my family so
they bought me a Garmin InReach Mini in the event an emergency were to arise. I’ve
taken it along on the last several hikes. Having a website that tracks me using
satellite and the ability to send a SOS message if I were to become injured
brings a piece of mind to all. Although I’m just starting to bring this unit along
with each hike, the device performs as advertised. Certainly something to
consider if you’re a hiker.
