[QUOTE="scn, post: 5011985, member: 1859"] I hunt and scout by myself the vast majority of the time. While Stewart Co isn't the wilds of Alaska, it does have some steep and fairly rugged terrain. I have come to realize that with my age and some health issues that there may come a time when I need some help and don't have a cell phone signal. Add in being out of cell tower range down in the Gulf, and it seems to make sense for me to get a device that has satellite communication. Since I don't currently have a GPS unit, I want a device that will do both the communication and gps. I am pretty much a Garmin person, but, will consider others. By getting some extra work days around Christmas, I have the purchase price set aside. Right now I am trying to decide between a Garmin GPS Map 66i and their InReachExplorer+. One is a touch screen, the other is buttons. I am not a very "techy" person, so ease of use will help. Anybody out there that has any input for me on making a choice? Thanks, Steve [/QUOTE]
