No. the devices connect only via satellite. What I want to know is whether one device can connect with another, via satellite, without going through a third party cellular connection. The only communication that I see promoted is from a party in a cellular free area texting via satellite to someone elses cell phone who has a cellular signal.

Can one garmin device connect and communicate via satellite to another garmin device? Or do they need to communicate to someone's cell phone?
If they can communicate directly, via satellite, how do they do so? What is the procedure?
