My experience with the 4AllFamily Voyager Travel Refrigerator for Insulin and Meds. Does it work??
I put the 4AllFamily Voyager Travel Refrigerator for Insulin and Meds, as well as the Big Nomad, to the test on my last trip. Over 7,200 miles riding for 5 weeks in temps in the mid-90's to over 100 degrees. Here's my experience with those products.

    In my experience with explorer & voyager, you can fit 3 mounjaro/ zepbound pens in the cooler with the biogel in there, 2 of the triangle caps face down & 1 triangle cap face up (between those 2 pens). I put a digital thermometer on top of it, so whenever I need to check the temperature, I can tap the thermometer. It's fit perfectly (without using the metal usb lid. When using the metal usb lid, it's only can fit 2 pens.

Will it keep cool at fridge temperature for the next 3 weeks? Or you put the whole big nomad in a hotel of each destination?

    I'm the rare person who likes the GTS nav. Mostly. I lead a group on long rides. The unlimited waypoints and it's coordination with the Harley Ride Planner app, to me is the bomb. Plus I can't stand Apple Car Play. It's way too limited. I use it occasionally. However, a few things about the GTS are maddening, such as 1) how it will not tell you distance to your next turn. The workaround is to put a waypoint at every turn, but still, 2) how HD charges for map updates, and 3) the WHIM being sold separately. I use GTS backed up with Google maps on my iPhone and that works great for me. The startup delay is not an issue at all.

    If you were happy replacing a GTS system, think how happy you would be to replace an older GT system like I did! I have ridden about 3k miles with the V2 on group rides and on a 1500 mile 4 day trip. I would definitely buy again. Yes, little quirks that will get fixed. The only serious issue as you discussed and that I experienced is the black screen of death. It dropped out on me while I was navigating in an unfamiliar area. When on group rides or trips, I now run CarPlay wired. While Soundstream is right that drops are an Apple/Android issue, the V2 software should handle a wifi drop more gracefully.
