La possibilité de suivre avec des points GPS régulier sur une appli maison est un vrai plus. On peut aussi importer les rapports CSV dans Google Earth

As I will be doing a lot of solo back country hiking / camping in Arizona shortly, I was looking for a product that would keep me in touch with love ones when out of cell phone signal, as well as giving me the assurance of calling for assistance should I injure myself etc.
I done a lot of research and chose the Zoleo GPS Communicator over all the other brands as this gave me everything I needed at a reasonable cost.
The set up was so easy and after making some test SMS and emails was confident that I will be able to keep in touch with people back home.
The unit itself is small and feels high quality. This item will take some knocks in its stride.

You do need to sign up for a monthly subscription but out of all the others on the market this one gave more buck for my money and also gave me the option to suspend or cancel after 3months which will suit me just fine.
I obviously have not tested the SOS function and hope I never have to

So far happy with the purchase

Update…..
Have just got back from almost a month off grid in the US backcountry. It would not be right to not of give an update. This tiny little box was fantastic! It kept me in touch, not only with mt SOS buddies, but anyone else I wanted to (upto 5 additional people). There was never a time I had any concerns while out solo. It sent out OK updates to all my contacts along with a breadcrumb trail. It never let me down once. Another great thing was, it held its charge for just over 7 days.

Fantastic piece of kit. Can not recommend this enough if you do solo trips where there is no mobile signal or patchy.
I am now using this in the windscreen of my car driving around the U.K. as a back up for when mobile signal drops

Totalmente confiable para la transmisión de mensajes. De fácil configuración y con un app muy sencilla de usar. Mis amigos y familia en cualquier momento pueden ubixarme y comunicarse conmigo.

Easy to set up. Worked first time. Affordable. Will save your life. No brainier

What works:

Does exactly what it promises – reliable satellite messaging when you're off-grid
Battery life is solid – I got 3 days with 3-4 messages per day and still had 50% left
The app actually doesn't suck (rare for this kind of device)
Way cheaper than a Garmin inReach if you just need communication, not full GPS features

The catch:
You still need your phone to send texts, which feels redundant. I'm carrying two devices to do one job. It's convenient enough, but not ideal.

Why I bought it anyway:
This is currently the best bang-for-buck option if you need reliable backcountry communication. But let's be real – this whole product category has maybe 3-5 years left. Apple already added satellite SOS to iPhones, and it's only a matter of time before full satellite texting is just another phone feature.
Think of the Zoleo like a good interim solution. It works, it's reliable, and it's reasonably priced for what it does. I am expecting this feature to be built into my phone by my next upgrade in a year or two.

For now though? It's exactly what I needed, and it does the job well. If you need satellite communication today and don't want to drop Garmin money, this is your best bet.
