Worked well, compact, setup was easy did not get to test all the features yet unlike some of the similar devices I need two way messaging capabilities, went for the basic plan.

The latest features are great and good safety

I've been using this product almost since it came out. I've used the SOS once as my boat was coming apart with high winds and ten foot seas, the response was immediate the conditions were too rough boat us and 60 miles off shore. When it first came out I had friends give me weather reports but the new version I can get weather anywhere in the world right now with 3 day forecast. The screen is still to small for me to read without glasses but in the beginning I had to find a really dark spot to read the screen. Now when it's paired with my tablet all things are good except set up. I still need to figure out sending out pictures but looks like it will be easy.

If I buy the unit now without a subscription, can I add it at any time later? If so, is that an expense I pay to Garmin?

You will be able to have GPS on the device. You won't have SOS capabilities, messaging, and send intervals. You could track, and mark waypoints though.
