Hey Felipe,

I have an InReach and love it for the following reasons;

– simple
– reliable connectivity to GPS even in overcast snowy skies
– long text field and you can sync with cell phone over bluetooth to easily compose messages if you so wish

– battery life is solid, if you use for messaging and turn it off at night or during the day
– I have used it to update family on trips and to let them know I am at my destination or have left and they find it quite assuring

– no experience with tracking though as I have not needed to venture into this realm of the device yet
– firmware easily updates and software is very simple

– negatives;

– cost upfront is steep and minimum monthly fee is $20 which I use. On the plus side you can suspend the subscription up to 4x per year I think.

Thats my short and sweet feedback.
