What a great time for satellite communication, just when I was thinking of getting rid of my InReach Mini because iOS 18 supports sending text messages via satellite (tested last week, pretty good but not as “fire and forget” as InReach), Garmin drop this futuristic functionality. Seems like satellite comms is entering a golden age - great for safety, but maybe not so good for those of us that go into the mountains to escape the real world.
