I'm pretty happy with mine thus far, but still learning all the different setup bits.
Anyone have issues with it crashing / turning off without warning? It's happened to mine several times in different situations. The ADV Rider Forum thread has several people reporting it too.
I used it...
This looks awesome. Not that I'd be able to make it, but I have a few questions.
Which bike would be the better option for this, my XR400R or my 1090R?
How long do you think these sections would be? Are we talking 55mph speed limits on these roads?
What are you using for comms?
Did you turn off the City Navigator maps? I was running my new 700i this weekend in Mendocino Forest at Penny Pines and was pretty impressed with how many of the Forest Roads, and OHV trails were showing up. Only one Black Diamond trail didn't show on the 700.
Not really overlanding, but I went boat camping on the Delta in the SF Bay Area.
I'm sure this place was jumping back in the day.
Then we passed this sunken dream
The memorial pile is really cool. To think that each piece was designed and produced to perform a specific function that was integral to making something complete. Good stuff!

I just looked at one yesterday and got the full rundown from a friend who's been hammering on his for the past 4-5 months. He's had it in high temps, rain, snow, low temps ect.. Not a single hiccup.

Hey grizzlyj,
I have the older Delorme inReach SE pictured below. It still has good battery life and will last two or three days on one charge running most or all day long. I turn it off when I reach my destination. I've been running it for around five years and it was used when I got it. Your...
Great trip with wonderful pics. Thanks for sharing.
Sounds like you made lemonade with the lemons life dealt you and that is what adventure is all about. Looks like some sweet spots you got to camp at.
Buckle up for a long post from me :-)
I would love to have an actual Sat Phone (Maybe when I'm independently wealthy) but for my needs the inReach has been great and turned out to be an invaluable piece of kit for my travels. There is noting more frustrating than when our expensive devices...
Following a thread on BajaNomad and it looks like there is going to me somewhat of a replacement for the Baja Almanac (The highly prized and priced)

Those baby sea turtles! They look so cuddly I just want to hold them..
Todos looks beautiful! It's been over 20 years since I was there.
Awesome trip reporting
It's an expensive unit that's for sure, but it does pack a lot into one device. I'm thinking if I sell a few different devices it would mostly pay for the new one. Sticker shock is what's keeping me from just buying one.
