On another note, while I always travel with a satellite phone to be prepared, I ordered a Garmin Inreach Mini. The simple texting via a paired iPhone with other vehicles on the same trip, as well as the ability to share your location with family, is attractive.
We have had our mini for 3 years now and it is one of the best pieces of gear that we have. Especially since we mostly travel alone. I wish you could import maps into the Earthmate program, but it’s not too bad otherwise.
Another benefit over a satellite phone is that it has the standard gps features, so you can mark spots that you want to find again later (gas stations, campsites, fishing holes, etc)
