BMWMOA Anonymous vs Garmin Messenger™

The BMW MOA Anonymous App is all about members helping members. It is a voluntary listing of MOA members who are willing to help other members in an emergency or time of need. Whether you need assistance with a roadside repair or want to find the inside information on a local geography, the BMW Owners Anonymous app can help connect you with a local resource in any geography. There are over 15,000 listings of MOA members willing to help other members. And, most cities and states are represented. The listings within the app are "anonymous" - only phone numbers of members who are willing to lend a hand. While the services offered are typically for emergency situations, there may be the times when you simply need advice or a place to change your oil. The app also contains a listing of BMW dealers across the United Sates and Canada as well as numerous local clubs where members can connect when travelling.
