    Question.... do you still have to have your monthly subscription active to use the gps and map feature?
    Garmin had teased that they might be changing that so that gps worked, even when subscription was suspended.

    Backroads map gps version is just like the backroads book version. So much info! That's why I'm kinda torn right now.

    If you don't really need the communication side of things I wouldn't bother. My main draw to the inreach wasn't for the gps function.

    Not positive but you can probably use the Backroadmaps mobile app on a phone with your inreach .Be forewarned though that BRMB charges a monthly fee for the mobile maps.Can anyone confirm this?

    I purchased Backroads, have it along with huntbuddy maps on my iphone7

    I togle between them all, constantly, in certain situations...

    Also have Inreach se paired with phone to boot...
    He's anything but a hunter.
    More like another, Rain Coast Sociopath Fraud. Living off the prevails of his chronic lies, like the rest of them...

    It's an issue, because these sociopath environmentalist's, will dilute the facts.
    To the point you or Joe public, won't know them any more..
    They count on that big time..
