### 5/5 — Important Safety Geat

*2026-02-10, version 1.6.1*

Been running TraiLink Go every ride.  Very handy for signalling our lead rider ahead.  Also experienced several rides where other no users could have benefited from having a TraiLink on the dash!  It’s an awesome piece of equipment on the snowmobile!

### 5/5 — Love It!

*2026-02-03, version 1.6.1*

I've been using the TraiLink devices and app with my friends for skiing and it works great! It's super easy to setup and use, and we could easily see how far down the ski hill our friends were, when waiting at the bottom. It was super helpful and would highly recommend for outdoor activities!

Drop a waypoint and send it straight to everyone in your group helping your group stay together.
