    • Worked great in Alaska
I bought this specifically for fishing trips I take to SE Alaska where we get dropped off at old forest service dry cabins dotted around the Tongass National Forest, 20-30 miles from the nearest town so there's no cell service. This thing worked like a champ in all weather conditions - we didn't have a clear view of the sky, maybe 50% clear coverage from the North and East, the rest being tree coverage, but it was enough where we never had issues sending or receiving messages, or getting weather updates. Longest I think it ever took for a message to get out was about 10 minutes, and that was when it was raining and cloudy. The paired phone app definitely makes it really easy to utilize the device as well, so don't skip that step if you buy one of these. I very much appreciate that Garmin has two different subscription methods - yearly subscription and monthly when you need it. I use the monthly as I only need it a couple times a year, so I just suspend it between usage. Since I use the monthly subscription, it does have a yearly fee involved that the yearly subscription isn't subjected too (something like $35), but compared to $400-500 for a SIM card pre-loaded with minutes on my sat phone that barely works, and where the minutes expire in 6 months, this is a steal! My main complaint is the battery life, in reality if you're sending and receiving a couple dozen texts a day, and it's not perfectly clear skies, expect 2-3 days - this is a very minor gripe as I always come prepared with many methods to recharge my gear. Fortunately, it doesn't eat up much from my battery banks, and it charged just fine with my folding solar panels. Secondly, I haven't figured out a way to charge the device while it's turned off - as soon as I plug it in to charge, it turns on, which often defeats the purpose of what I'm trying to do. Overall, extremely pleased with this purchase, only thing that could make it better is if Garmin teamed up with one of the big satellite companies for better bandwidth so my wife can send me pictures of my dogs over the messenger! ... show more

    • This is great, but fully test it before you need it.
Ok, this great - but before you get to the review, know this. Both the user and receiver of messages MUST try it all out and simulate the scenarios you want to test. For example. Put you your phone into airplane mode, turn bluetooth on, and try and send and receive messages. Anytime you test this device, make sure your phone is in airplane mode. The garmin messenger WILL use cell service your phone if it is available. This is great as it will save you charges from garmin. The testing is important as you will learn the noises it make when you send and receive messages. You will also learn how much coverage you need, and where the device needs to be to communicate with satellites. The last thing you need to work out is what message mean. For example, when I send a "check in" message, it means I have good cell service now. If I send a "starting" message after my first one of the day it means that I am taking a break. My second "Stop of the day means I am going to sleep. OK the review. You do not need a phone to use it, but it is HIGHLY recommend. I only turn the device on and off, and start and stop tracking on the device. Everything else is done on my phone. You need a pretty good view of the sky to use, but some tree cover is acceptable. It works within in less than 10 seconds with a clear view. The people you want to communicate with will have choice. Garmin messenger OR email and text. Once a person registers with the garmin messenger app, text message will go there, rather than their phone. The battery life is good. I recommend less than 10 min ute tracking, as the battery lasts longer. I keep the device charged every night. The device can be used as a power source for a small amount of power in an emergency. I do not recommend that except in a very critical emergency. Lastly, I have never pressed the SOS button, but I did use it in a serious situation to help me get out safely. It works. ... show more

    • Don't leave without it
If you go out regularly in the back country, fish by yourself on big bodies of water, or do anything where you either need contact with family or may need rescue this is the device for you. You can use your phone to text thru it or just use it to send quick messages so your family know you're ok. Battery life is great and as long as it's not covered by a heavy canopy of trees it can send tracking points relatively easy. Only downside I've found is that it doesn't alert you if a message or a tracking point isn't sent; obviously if you're looking at the device you can tell but sometimes while on the go you can't sit there and watch it. Great value for the money, well built, and not expensive when it comes to picking a service package. ... show more

    • Can’t activate - terrible app
I should have read the 1-star reviews. You have to download the Garmin Messenger app to activate the device and it simply doesn’t work, even after uninstalling and reinstalling the app multiple times. So all I have an expensive paperweight. This is going back; how could I possibly trust it to keep me connected in the back country?? Probably getting a Zoleo instead. ... show more

    • Very useful backpacking staple
My husband recently went on a backpacking trip with his brother who had one of these. They were definitely "off the grid" for a few days and I was super grateful his brother had this and could send his location to his wife every day. It's really almost a must-have for safety. If you got lost or there was some emergency, having coordinates to allow yourself to be located could be a legitimate lifesaver. You can also send a limited number of brief text messages, which would also allow you to send for help if needed (you do have to pay for a subscription program to use this but it's not very expensive and I think can be paid for as needed . . ). I bought this one for my husband for Christmas! He can enjoy more backpacking and I can enjoy peace of mind while he's out. Short of a (expensive!) satellite phone I don't know of any other device that can keep track of someone off the grid. ... show more
