Does the GPSMAP 67i need a subscription?

Yes. Two-way messaging, tracking and SOS run over Iridium and require an active inReach plan. Navigation with the preloaded maps works without one.

How is it different from the inReach Mini 2?

The 67i has a larger 3-inch screen, on-device TopoActive maps and multi-band GNSS. The Mini 2 is much smaller and lighter but relies on a paired phone for mapping.

Can I send an SOS without cell service?

Yes. The interactive SOS goes over the Iridium satellite network to Garmin Response, which coordinates with emergency services.

What maps come preloaded?

TopoActive maps and satellite imagery are built in. Outdoor Maps+ adds premium mapping through a Wi-Fi connection.

How long does the battery last?

Garmin rates expedition mode at up to 425 hours with 30-minute tracking. Normal GPS use drains it faster.

Does it work with a smartphone?

Yes. Pairing with the Garmin Explore app adds trip planning, weather forecasts and Geocaching Live.
