I used one of these on a trip to Colorado. I have nothing else to compare it to experience wise, but I guess it worked okay. Sometimes it seemed to take forever to send or receive a text. And if you were under any sort of tree canopy, it wouldn’t work.
I had one and sold it and moved to an In-reach.. If you're just looking for peace of mind that if you fall and break a leg that you can push a button and someone is coming then spot is the way to go.. Otherwise go with the garmin and two-way communication
