    Feels solid and works great. My only issue is you need two apps to do anything which is weird. The subscriptions are also expensive.

    This works great! My wife goes on long multi day hiking trips to places with very spotty cell coverage. This allows us to stay in touch via text and mapping if her adventures, making everything mush safer as well.

    Used it on our recent hike and we were able to send messages to our family before, during and after. We were gone for 10 hours so it great knowing we always had a way to contact or be contacted by family.

    I shouldn’t have returned but it needs a monthly subscription to work fully. There are some features that work without it but to get the full use Garmin sucks you in to the old monthly.

    I live out in the desert and many areas have no cell coverage. This device allows me to keep in touch as I travel. A plan is required to use this device.

    WOULD NOT TURN ON

    The device would not turn on. We had purchased for a dual-sport trip in Moab. Had to buy another while traveling. The replacement worked great! Best Buy was awesome and the return was easy. But, make sure to give yourself plenty of time to make sure the device works prior to any trip or hike you are taking.

    Takes some setup and of course the monthly fee for usage but if you are in the woods frequently every month it’s definitely worth it to stay in contact with your family!
