Off the grid GPS units

[K3MRI 34 8 Items]

I am not promoting Garmin, but I do find that they are now offering matured off the grid GPS and satellite communications gear. Their purchase of In Reach a few years back seems to be working its way into all of their product lines.

This is a link to their new Overlander product: https://www.garmin.com/en-US/overlander/

They have also, recently integrated In Reach into their GPSMAP series: https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/623975

My question is, how many of you that operate portable, rely on handheld GPS units while you're in the field?

When I operate portable, I confine myself to the back 40 (sq. yards). Can usually see the house from there. (If I can't, I take a step to either side and I can see where home is).
