PLBs, like the one W carries, don't use tracking either and he advocates for them over lower-powered devices (or at least he did with us in Wyoming).

Buy what you want, for what you need for YOU and your family.
That's almost how I use it too. Except I don't use presets, cause I like to actually "talk" to the kids. But twice a day, to let folks know where I'm at, how the hiking was, etc...
But -- how do you know how accurately it has your location? Are you checking it against a watch or phone or something?
