I borrowed one of these for my camp trip coming up this week and was wondering if the coverage is any better than it used to be?
The one I had years ago was pretty much useless.
Do you still have to print off the times that the thing will work?

Way better, have yet to find a spot where it hasn't worked.

If at first I don't have service I'll start walking in a 50ft circle till I do.
Works everytime.

Let us know how it works out for you.

Remember to pack the nearest RCMP 10 digit numbers with you.

The 991 works, but geos takes alot longer to get you connected to the local authorities.
