    Great video with excellent points all the way around. For me, since my wife does not hike with me, the ability for her to “watch” me hike on a near-real-time map, and the ability to maintain two-way communication even when I am well beyond any hope of cell service is worth every penny…

    Appreciate your feedback, Jon! Totally agree that if two-way communication and your progress updates on a map keep your wife happy then spending this sort of money for her peace of mind & permission is totally worth it! 😂
