I have an InReach Mini 2 but am thinking about picking up a Motorola Defy to try as an alternative.
I’m mostly out day-hiking, but usually in remote areas which are sparsely-populated where cell signal is inconsistent. Only a few times a year am I lucky enough to find time for multiple-day hikes.
Garmin is reliable, and I’m in their ecosystem with my watch, too.
But I’m a sucker for new tech, and the Defy looks interesting.
Anyone have any thoughts either way?
less weight and cheaper monthly costs but you’ll have less connectivity/service to satellites and less battery life
I wouldn’t hold out hope for long-term support from Motorola. They’re pretty awful about supporting their devices. That’s just my take though.
hello! i remember you from that other site. how’s lemmy treating you so far?
No plans to go back :)
I notice you’re really putting in the work getting this community started. Thanks for that!
