Reviving this discussion to see if there are any updates from users. I am moving to an even more rural area than where I live now and from my visits there I know that cell coverage is spotty to non-existent.

Currently, I use a cell phone with the Glympse app so that my wife can track my ride and to know if I am not moving and there is no nearly coffee shop or brewery. Given some health issues I have, it is comforting for her to know my location and to see that I am riding. I suppose having some texting capabilities would be good, but if I am not moving a text may be no good.

It seems the Garmin Inreach, some version of the Spot, or maybe some other device will be important for peach of mind. Any current users of these satellite based devices have an update? Are there others to consider that make sense for road cyclists in areas without cell service?
