Work sort of OK in Chile
I have been using mine in tracking mode in Chile and it works OK. Definitely not as good as in the US or UK but operating in my jacket pocket it gets enough messages out to let the family know where I am headed. I also send out OK messages before I start riding and at the end of the day when we camp.
For the $300 it is good method of keeping the family basically informed.
In my recent case my daughter in Phoenix was checking the spot updates and relaying the info to my wife who is in Australia and out of cell/internet coverage. Saved me making international calls (even when it was possible to get cll coverage which is a bit iffy where we were).
I would buy it again and will quite happily pay my $150 for the next years coverage. All I need to do is work out how to convert email to SMS for international broadcast so I can use the Ah Shit (help) feature.
