... while there I sent texts to my family and friends which gave them not only my message but also they could google map and see exactly where I was hunting...

RIPP wife texted: "I thought you were in "whatsitsstan" in the middle of Asian nowhere hunting some goat, but your text shows it as coming from the Moulin Rouge in Paris!!!" What is going on?"

RIPP "oops, I forgot about that feature."

How well does it works as a GPS? Screen is fairly small. How loading the maps on it go?

I still need to buy a new GPS. Borrowed Claydog's last time in the NT and it was so much better than mine, especially with the ability to load maps. My old one also takes a VERY long time to acquire satellites.

I think eventually sat phones, texting and GPS will all be combined. May not be good, because sat phones are usually larger than a GPS which is better handy when hiking and hunting.

I assume sat phones already allow texting.
