How aboiut actually answering the second question. Is there a subscription service or additional fee to use this product for getting the location?

I believe there is a $5 per year subscription to use the tracking website. There is also whatever service cost for for the SMS SIM card. I recommend Truphone since their credit expiration is longer than most and receiving SMS messages to the device is FREE. Hope this helps.

I have no idea how they determine your location though it probably gps . Inany case, you cannot track someone else using one, only the company can track the user. Hope that helps

No monthly fees but if you buy a GPS you're better off buying one that has lifetime map updates included.

Yes, you can "Set location" for somewhere else, but I don't recall how to do that. I guess find the address, and maybe the "Set location" option pops up then?But mine finds satellites fairly quickly, even if it's been turned off. If it takes more than 5 minutes, turn it off and start over. Mine usually finds them in a minute or less. I think it does it faster if you turn it on before you start moving.HTHS--

Hey M. , Did you add Mapping solfware yourself ? If you did, you have to have the solfware Settings , set for the GPS unit. Mapping setting have to match. Not sure where but it should say something about downloading maps to the unit. A friend of mine didn't have the setting matching and we were off about 1/4 mile. This is not good when out hunting.

I believe you have to have a total connect account. I have it through GeoArm and pay 12 dollars a month

So I own one of these and just tried it. Once you activate your account (which is free with the purchase of the tag) then it will show you any recent scans of the QR code. I scanned it with my phone (Android, though I don't know if that makes a difference) and got a popup saying Dynotag would like access to my location. I hit "Do Not Allow" but the account for the QR code still showed the approximate location this is what I got. "No scans with coordinates. April 03, 2014 08:03PM GMT Location not shared. IP: 72.128.21.145 - Mission, KS US" and for the record, Mission KS is give or take 20 miles away from me.

It's plug and go ... the GPS units that require a subscription are those that receive traffic updates (usually through a satellite radio provider like XM). The i5 is a basic navigation system, so it does not require any type of subsciption. The only type of subscription cost might be a yearly updated map, but you can decide when and how often you want to update.

Yes, it's only for to get back to a point you already were at. You can store up to 3 locations. It dose not work in house. You need to be outside and it takes about a minute to establish connection I'm guessing with (satellite/GPS).

This one does not come with the subscription. It is a dual receiver si you can record two sites at one time. I purchased the lifetime after my 30 day trial period.

Yes. You can go to the Garmin site and download for approx. $69, or have a lifetime membership for $100, which seems the best way to go.

There is a subscription in order to get the service. They have different packages, but the common one is $14.99 per month.

If this thing cannot find me standing in my own front yard, how can you expect to find you deep in Mexico. In theory if you have current maps and the GPS hardware is working you should be able to go anywhere. However, mine purchased brand new had maps that were 16 versions off and it was 300 feet off as to my GPS location. I have been working with them for weeks to get it straight and fixed. First you will not have the correct cord to connect to your computer, so you cannot update the maps without it. Then the current maps costs extra up to $100, so you are not getting a useable product properly updated out of the box.

Absolutely. In fact, that is pretty much what you are paying for. You can enter coordinates in any of several different formats, and the device will lead you in a straight line to that location. But be advised, you will have to pay extra to download that pretty map they show in the picture.

Yes. I've never done it; but the manual says you can enter & find locations by geographic coordinates (e.g., helpful when geocaching).

I can't tell you if it's current, but after 4 months' use, I haven't gotten lost or punched in an address that wasn't known. There are updates to the maps, but no they aren't lifetime. I believe 1 or 2 months after you register the product w/clarion.com. The updating process isn't clear and directions aren't helpful. In fact, I haven't updated mine.
