Customer Ratings & Reviews

Big upgrade from the Mini 2. The Mini 3 Plus is a little larger, but honestly, you don't notice the additional weight whatsoever when carrying it on the trail. The larger color touchscreen makes the unit much easier to use without constantly pulling out my phone and using the app, which also helps conserve my phone battery. Battery life has been excellent. On my first trip I had it powered on and tracking for about 10 hours and only used around 12% of the battery. This was in the High Sierra with heavy tree coverage, deep valleys, and high granite walls. Messaging was also noticeably improved. Messages went out quickly and replies came back quickly, even in areas where I would normally expect delays because of terrain or tree coverage. Overall, I'm very impressed with the Mini 3 Plus. The touchscreen, battery life, and reliable messaging make it a significant upgrade over my Mini 2. So far, I'm extremely happy with the performance.
