Probably one of the best direct videos comparing these two devices. I have used the Garmin Explorer for many years in the US mainly because I can text friends and family where there are no cell services...of which there are many. I buy a monthly plan for when I'm on a trip then cancel when I'm not. Good video, thanks.
Thanks for watching!
I bought my ACR ResQLink PLB at the same time I bought my Garmin 62ST GPS way back in 2005 or 2006. Yes, my GPS is still working same as when brand new.
Yes, I registered my PLB as required. Hope I never need it.
ALWAYS, when ever I go hiking the GPS is in a pouch on the left shoulder strap of my backpack, turned on & easily accessible.
My PLB is in a left pant pocket & easily accessible if needed. I've always carried it on MEeee, never in my backpack.
Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada.
Wise choice to be on you. Be safe out there.
Several good points for the PLB but the fact it can't be deactivated when you don't use it is a bit annoying and could probably result in accidental alerts. Also I heard Garmin devices may sometimes fail to send messages under tree cover, I'm wondering if PLBs would potentially have the same problem...
PLBs are supposed to be more robust than Iridium signals but no guarantees.
I'm considering a PLB instead of a "Garmin" or spoot device of sort, simply because of all the yearly and mouthly pay you get stuck paying for the other device for it to work. Europe (Sweden) where it is a one time payment for the PLB and then it just works. I'm not out and about all year long on hikes and expeditions so the other device which requires a subscription is simply not worth it.
Very true. I can turn off my Garmin subscription month by month, so if I'm not out for a while, I can control the cost.
If you want to live? If so, then yes. Though dying is cheaper!
True...
Would you know if the cold temperatures have an impact on the longevity of the battery?
Would have to ask the manufacturer - good question.
