I've captured satellites, sent and received messages under tree cover and sometime with the device in my pocket.

Exceeded all expectations

Took the messenger on trip to coastal islands without good cell coverage. Messaging was quicker than I expected, tracking was good, and the battery life is amazing. On all the time, tracking for 5 days at 10 minute intervals, about 15 total messages, and battery was at 69% at the end of the trip.

I have tried but this will not connect to my phone. I am going to call Garmin and see if they can help me fix the problem. So far, I am not impressed with it.

The size is great. Perfect for just throwing in a bag or pocket for the possible need. The app is user friendly.

Not sure
on December 30, 2023
Posted by: Psmart2
I just purchased and activated. I haven't had opportunities to actually use it yet. I am however having trouble with Messenger app not synching with my contacts on Samsung phone. Messenger app says I need to do upgrade to recieve all features but won't let me do an upgrade. The device indicates that all updates are up to date

Fine so far

Seems to be working fine. However had to give everyone that follows a password to access location. Not as simple as I expected.
