Why this beats your phone
Your phone has no signal off grid. This device works precisely where your phone gives up, and does not tempt you to check anything else while you wait for a reply.
The full picture
A compact satellite communicator and GPS that works completely off the cellular network, using the Iridium satellite network to send and receive messages and trigger an SOS anywhere on Earth. It pairs with the Garmin Explore app for route planning but functions on its own once you are on the trail, with battery life measured in days rather than hours.
