What's the difference between a GPSMAP, an eTrex, and an inReach Mini?

Reviewer consensus

GPSMAP units (like the 67i and 65s) are Garmin's premium handhelds with large screens, multi-band GNSS, and full topo maps. eTrex models are smaller, cheaper, button-driven workhorses aimed at geocachers and casual hikers. The inReach Mini 2 isn't a full mapping GPS at all — it's a compact two-way satellite communicator with SOS, designed to be paired with a phone or worn alongside another GPS.
