I had been using a spot device and after getting a 225 dollar renewal charge from spot I had enough. I used this on a 5 day trip in the sierra Nevada mountains. It was small enough to wear on my pack strap which made it easy to check out miles for the day. Battery life wasn't bad in tracking mode I recharged it off a solar charger but I think it could have gone two days in tracking mode. miles traveled was dead on with the map trail mileage. Pairing the unit with a iphone and sending a message was pretty easy. -

It's not really about the stars (but I've given it 5 so folk will read this and be aware), it's about what, exactly, this device does and does not do. This as an impressively compact, light and undoubtedly super-handy device and I confess to believing I'd found the perfect fit for my north of scotland rambles. Yes, there is a huge but coming . . . which is this device cannot be used for uk location-fixing or navigation as the datum and coordinates options do not allow OS grid reference coordinates. The best options in 'setup' are UTM/UPS coordinates and WGS84 datum - this cannot be related to an OS GB grid ref map. If you want a device to alert the rescue services +/or msg/email your location to friends/family and don't begrudge the HIDDEN additional expense of £24.99 per year on top of the monthly subscription of £14.99 just to use the device, have at it. If you want a device to do that plus simply display your location for position fix or navigating to a location etc this is definitely not it. I had to phone Garmin GB to confirm this is the case. Hopefully they will be cool about returning my already paid £39.88 (see above) to activate the handset. Hopefully. The Explorer is significantly more expensive and seems to offer GB grid refs but all I can say is do your research on that device too. Cheers. -
