Hard learning curve
on May 14, 2024
Posted by: Jmbmh2
I think this is a great tool, however I have yet to figure out how to use this after two months. Although I have the basics kinda down, there is a hard learning curve with this unit. You can use it with your computer and/or phone. Tying everything together is hard and there are so many videos to watch which don’t always help.

Great antenna!!

I purchased this to link my phone thru satellite service for text messaging, and for the SOS feature while hunting out west. This is exactly what I needed at a great price. I have a new rino for gps, tracking, radii, etc., which is a lot more user friendly than trying to use the mini. I thought the subscription plans thru Garmin fit me better than other subscriptions through other brand devices.

Peace of mind

My husband and kids sailed to the Bahamas and were able to keep in touch with me while crossing the ocean. Having the device on board gave them peace of mind when there was no cell reception. I could see their location whenever I received a text through the map feature which gave me peace of mind.

compact size is great

I've had this for a month now and brought it along as a safety precaution on our Motorcycle trip in SW TX thank fully we didnt need it but it takes up very little space. I really attest to how well it works . However I do find the monthly cost high and the tracking option price high [ Frequency options etc] also and should have a twice a day auto pinging location included. Id prefer a one time yearly fee.

Un-used messages do not roll over
on March 10, 2024
Posted by: Backpacker Dave
I bought this for the safety aspect; not as a play toy. The SOS feature is invaluable. However, it is unfortunate that the un-used messages, or at the least 50% of the remaining un-used messages, do not roll over. Unless the part time backpacker wants to pay annually for the premium subscription. The unlimited "checking in" is nice to have, but any replies back to the Mini are charged to your monthly message alottment.

Compact and capable
on March 8, 2024

I fish offshore alone, I will and have, sent an invitation to my wife and son to track my trip, in addition to leaving a float plan. The only issue I have so far is sending the tracking notification to my wife and son and having the track on and functioning. I am sure the more I use it, the better I will become at the functions.
