When I go riding around central Utah on my motorcycle (note: these are paved roads with a street motorcycle), I'm often out of cell coverage for hours at a time. The reality is that the high mountains and deep valleys for "real" mountains, combined with the lack of towns, provide for no coverage, either SMS or cell. If I got caught in those places in snow that is feet-deep, I wouldn't expect my electronics to free me.
- raverbashing 14y agoYes, there are huge areas without cell coverage Still, having a gps is helpful (at least you know where you are and can wander but knows how to get back) Having an automotive gps with maps is even more helpful But yeah, it is a very bad situation nonetheless
