Anybody try Caltopo’s new satellite update?

I was just reading how CalTopo has paired with T-mobile and you are able to access maps services via satellite while your in the woods. Anybody try this yet? I have CalTopo but not T-mobile. If it is good I could be convinced to ditch Verizon.

I wonder if OnX is on this path as well.

I just wish they'd update their aerial imagery. Looking at 10+ year old imagery is lame.

There's really no benefit for most users, as you can download map layers for offline use.

If you have a Team account, the benefit is real-time tracking displayed on a team map in areas with no cell coverage.

I was out Friday night and very surprised when tracks started appearing on my team account in the middle of a Wilderness area. Pretty cool!

Not sure how good but apparently spartan forge has some pretty dang good aerial imagery. Think they do a trial as well. I'm still on OnX but their "eagle eye" has me intrigued.
