I also checked out the Spot-X, but that's apparently not even worth mentioning.\n\nI actually bought the Garmin Inreach Mini 2, and only after setting it up and using it did I discover that it completely sucks as a communicator. The reason I say this is that communication needs to work both ways - and the only way you can receive a text on the Garmin is if you text or send someone a check-in message first. I liked the fact that the Garmin is a standalone, all in one - but it just falls so short for communication, it can't hold a candle to the Zoleo, which is a true 2-way communicator. I put mine to the test in Poudre Canyon last night, and it worked great! I'll use my Garmin Fenix 6x Pro and 64st handheld for all my GPS needs. I'm still a Garmin guy, but very disillusioned about the things nobody told me about the Inreach Mini.","textLength":947,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":true,"autoModerated":true,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":5,"downVotes":0,"orderId":null,"dimensions":[],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"badge":null},"reviewedDate":"2023-09-01T18:37:05-04:00","purchaseDate":null,"dateCreated":"2023-08-30T17:18:29-04:00","customData":[],"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[],"catalogItems":[{"sku":"19027-ZOLEO1","title":"ZOLEO Satellite Communicator","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/19027-ZOLEO1","category":"camp-maps-guides","reviewCount":10,"ratingCount":10,"averageRating":4,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":2,"2":0,"3":0,"4":2,"5":6},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]},{"id":3141417,"locale":"en_US","rating":1,"title":"Zoleo","text":"As has been said before, I would give it zero stars if I could.\nShort story, unable to even receive an activation code after multiple attempts and involving tech support.

In bear or snake country its just a little extra peace of mind to have for you or your loved ones, or even a stranger who may need help. Its not super cheap but if you complain about the cost consider what youll think if having it ends up saving your or someone else's life. Im sure you'd say its worth every penny. Keep in mind where you can actually use it, i.e. open sky area not in a cave or under heavy timber. Keep that in mind. Also teach everyone in your party how to use it in the event of an emergency. You may not be able to use it so make sure those with you know how it works as well. Ive never had to use the SOS feature, thank goodness, but its great for sending a message or two when you are gone in back country for a week or more, to let my wife know we're still alive and okay. Plus the map features and how it links to your phone. Keep an emergency battery for charging with you all the time as well or a solar charger, or better yet, both.
