Works thru the Garmin Connect Mobile app on a smartphone that has cell data service. On occasion I hear complaints that is is too sensitive and that folks are suddenly needing to not send an alert.
Yes im aware… but it requires a third party to contact 911. What if someone (like my wife) only checks their email once a day. I could be laying in a ditch for 48 hours before help is even notified… the Garmin InReach Mini 2 is supposed to have the “Incident Detection” as well and can be paired with some
of the Garmin Bike Computers like the 1030+ and the 1040.
