Try a long range collapsable antenna on your handheld. If I loose connection I can put the long range on and I've got them. Not sure just how far it will reach.

I sold my garmin alpha 200i and bought the dogtra pathfinder2. I don't regret it one bit. With the stock antenna I've reached 2.5 miles in rolling hill country of Central Missouri. The maps and simplicity of its functions are great also. I used it at American redbone days this year and had zero cell service a good part of the time and I still had great maps. The countdown timer and stopwatch are also easily available during a competition hunt.

What I did in Iowa was zoom out showing the entire state when I still had cell service. Once I lost service the map was already loaded and available to use. If you know ahead of time where you're going to be you can go to map settings and use offline map downloads. Hope this helps. Conkeys website had some helpful videos that you might find helpful.

Oh, thanks- I missed that you have 2nd gen. I have the first gen Pathfinder, I think the countdown timer is an upgrade from mine.
