Zoleo $50 off on Camofire today

I’m curious to know how well this device works. I had the bivy stick for a year or two and it pretty much sucked IMO. Their plans are ridiculously priced for what you get too.
 
The one thing I am not clear on is if you can navigate with this device, It would be nice to use it with maps in case I get lost and can back track.
Anyone know for sure if that is possible?
 
My garmin does but it’s way less useful than a map on your phone. But in a pinch…… only issue is you’ll have to be running a track all the time & that’s gonna be mean on battery. I track with my garmin watch & then have to charge every other day but the battery is so small it’s easy to manage. But I’m not trying to load you up with a bunch of new gear.
 
How much is the subscription on the zoleo? Guess I could just look it up.

Can you recommend a good gps locator?

Looking for something to use in an emergency situation incase I end up somewhere without cell service. Some of these mountains and hollers in east TN can be pretty bad at keeping a cell signal. I have a Garmin Etrx 22 that's good for navigating, dropping pins, breadcrumbs, etc but has no...

Glad it works well for you. It was hit or miss for me with the texting for whatever reason. I could never get the map and features in the app to work right either. Don’t know.
