Preselect all the maps and aerial images of where you're headed before you leave. Also, a backup battery pack with appropriate connection wires is recommended.

Are you referring to the maps via the onx app or earthmate? I’ve yet to use any mapping apps on my phone. I’ve just been using the chip and the preloaded map that came with the rhino

Earthmate app on your phone while linked to your inReach. The only time I use onX is if I'm concerned about infringing on private property...or if I forget a neighbors name and see him or walking down the road toward me while I'm out walking the dog. Haha!
Mossy:
Thanks fellas, I think I’m going mini as well as the Onx maps.
Any suggestions for a portable battery bank? I’ll be back at the truck daily mostly so I can charge there if needed but it would be nice to have something to put in the pack.

I've had great luck with my Dark Energy Poseiden's.

I've been using the Spot Messenger since they first came out. I cannot receive messages on it and I consider that a nice feature. :)
One great feature of my Spot is the evacuation insurance...
