    This one is going to be a little different.

    Please read the first and second post very carefully.

    This is for the Garmin In reach Explorer+

    Nothing else.

    No other Garmin, no accessories.

    https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/561269





    Pricing:

    MSRP - $450

    If you are interested in this:

    Sign up by replying to this thread. Don’t chicken out. You are either in or you aren’t. NO maybe, no waiting on the wife, gf or bf to get permission. There is enough time to make up your mind or find a doctor to sell your kidney or pawn your wife’s jewelry. If you are on the fence to see if it’ll go up to max discount before you jump in, you are HOLDING the group buy back. Don’t be that dude.

    So after talking to a Garmin vendor, he can cut us a deal.

    They must be shipped to one address. The vendor is not willing to ship separate orders at the moment, he just doesn't want to deal with it.

    I MIGHT be willing to purchase the bulk order upfront under the following conditions:

    1. I get 15 commited members, plus 5 backups.
    2. You pay shipping - You can save shipping by combining orders.
    3. Paypal funds and you pay the paypal fees.

    The discount would be $80 OFF MSRP for the Garmin Inreach which is $450 MSRP. That is about 20% off, the normal group rate discount.

    The vendor is in California, so the California guys would be saving on the taxes.

    I would pay for the bulk order upfront via credit/paypal. Once I get the order, you pay me and I distribute it to you.

    I will NOT take your money upfront.

    I know a few of the T4R guys are up for it.

    I am still thinking about it, if enough interest is put together, I am willing to do this.

    IF I can find another vendor that would be willing to ship each one individually close to the same pricing, I will go that route.

    After reading the website, it talks about having a satellite subscription to use the chat/text feature...
    1) do you need a subscription to use the damn thing by itself?
    2) How much is the subscription?
    3) How difficult is it to download maps to it?
    4) Will this work in the mountains of WA for offroading (UNLIKE a cellphone)? A lot of trails turn into nothing (on the maps) and its tougher to stay on "trails" when you are driving by the seat of your pants and looking for remote camping.

    Answers to these questions will determine if I am in or not. Looks like a great deal! Just want to make sure the juice is worth the squeeze (I have a garmin Foretreck 401 that I use on deployments and love it...never used a general purpose garmin)

    Any input @westnc20 ??

    I posted if anyone would be interested in this GB on this thread

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...ing-gear-thread.340757/page-329#post-16131067

    it developed into a nice discussion in regards to capability, rates, and usage.
