    Not sure, but I think the new Iphones will text from anywhere on the planet thanks to Elon...

    I use onx downloaded map in combo with my alpha as well.
    Yep. Garmin Connect app. That's what I use when I have to use the inreach. Easy breezy.

    Just curious... do any of you have TMobile service with Starlink? Seems that's a no brainer... being able to text matter the location. I haven't dig into the service and what it truly entails, but I'm considering digging into more.

    I have a Motorola Android phone. So your saying I still should be able to see my movement, +-30ft when I have no cell service, just as a GPS would show?

    I have an old Garmin etreck somewhere, original yellow one.. the only handheld I ever owned, it was a big purchase for me back then. Used it bottom fishing, hunting, and messing around. I still mostly went by a real compass though. Easier then trying to stay on line backtracking that little walking man on a black line.

    Ha, I still get up too early. 430 this morning, I try not to internet until later though, then just a short stint now morning to mid morning, every so often later on.

    Yes do you have onx? Just download offline maps and outline the area of wherever you’re going to be hunting and use that download whenever navigating that area.

    I plan on getting the OnX app and downloading the maps. I was using Google Maps the other day, had no service, and felt like it wasn't very accurate. I also assumed if I didn't have cell service, I also wouldn't be able to track with OnX. I will give the OnX a try and take my old Garmin with me. Thanks
