I just started using one.

I am not the most tech savvy guy but I was able to set up the messages on the website and send some to the family from the field. I have the basic subscription.

It makes me less nervous riding around in the bush by myself.

I bought the Backroads Mapbook maps and installed them. I find them better for my area.
