We are tripping next week so I've been reading up on how to automatically send daily wx texts to ones self lol... I really love the 66i though, it's a big upgrade for me! |

Wish the 66i used AA batteries instead of the internal lithium. And yes even though you can subscribe month to month instead of a full year, you must suspend service at the end of the month you paid for, to prevent them from automatically charging you for the next month. Joe |

This is a plan first offered with Delorme Inreach and kept by Garmin when they bought Delorme. Several board members use the Freedom Plan because of the shorter term customer specified plan option, especially compared to Find Me Spot Globalstar plans. butthead |

Garmin has some nice webinars. Here is one coming up on Thu, Sep 5, 2019 2:30 PM - 3:30 PM CDT "inReach Field Experience Webinar – GPSMAP 66i Navigation and Tracking." Other webinars are archived in youtube videos if you can't participate live. Also, do you follow the GPS forum here? A wealth of info. |

Pretty cool. You can connect via BT to your phone which makes it MUCH easier to send and receive messages. It is cheating a bit...I will be able to get weather forecasts to know when to hunker down! Garmin makes you agree to perpetual billing on your credit card. You can suspend service and avoid the next billing cycle but YOU must remember to do this before the end of the current billing cycle. Not fond of that but there is no other option. |
