Difficult
on July 8, 2022
Posted by: nurseatn
A family member bought this for my husband. He hikes long distances and we wanted to have some way to keep track and call out emergencies if needed. He is 70 and he walks where there is no phone ability. We worked on this. Put in maps and places he might be able to contact. I set it up and paid, but it does not work. It is too hard to figure it out.

Light weight and easy to use

I bought this for use on the Great Divide. It was easy to attach to a feed bag. It kept all my contacts aware of my location and it was easy to send text messages along the route. Great buy.

Terrible set up
on September 24, 2022
Posted by: No name.,)
The set up of the device is horrible. The device will not activate even though the phone and computer identifies it’s activated. Worthless. Will be returning. better off with my compass.

Peace of Mind
on November 15, 2022

I bought this a few months ago and finally found a fellow hunter and hs partner who both had Garmins.I told him that I had been looking for someone who could activate for me. Without hesitation he said I can do that for you and we went to an area that has cell coverage as my camp is in meadow surrounded by hills on top of Rock Mountain in the Rock Creek Area, Southern BC. He spent the next hour setting it up with no charge! This gives me peace of mind as I have hunted in this area for 40 years now. Nowadays I hunt and camp alone as most of my buddies are long gone or too old. I am 69 and have had Alzheimer's for 5 years now along with other medical issues. It's good to have the SOS feature along with text messaging. I think I have coverage for 3 months as I will only hunt Sept. Oct. and Nov. I'm usually there until Dec. 21st for bow season but I tore out both shoulders a few years ago dragging a bull elk downhill to my camp. There's still a moose in the area so I will probably take the shot if presented like last year.
Thank you for your great product and life saving SOS feature!

Activation issues
on November 15, 2022
Posted by: doctor
Just got the device and had to enter my personal contact information, friend contact info cc# etc. 3 times. Very problematic website kept kicking me out/back. I sure hope I don't get charged twice!
