Apparently Garmin is a sponsor and we still can't get GPS data.

You guys blew it with this guy just like you did with KP Kelley and Dave Reading. lol
Go back many pages and you'll see someone confirmed with Garmin that they are not sponsoring him.

I believe that I saw him resently in the sonaran desert...chasing down a bufo alarius,this could be what's feuling his run.

Thanks. All the proof I need. If some anonymous internet poster says so, it must be true,
Thanks for a helpful contribution. Here's another approach you could take: identify a single aspect of this venture that you think a company such as Garmin would be willing to support.

This from an earlier page of the thread. Is Scam Watcheroo as much of a scammer as our cross-country propeller?

Something interesting. Garmin got back to me on Facebook saying with 100% certainty that they are NOT sponsoring Kavinoky. The WhatsMyWin website lists the Garmin Logo and name under the sponsors page but it looks like that is a false claim by Kavinoky and his management.
Garmin
Andy, thank you for reaching out to us. My apologies for the delayed response as I was reaching out to a few different departments about this.
I can confirm with 100% certainty that Garmin is NOT sponsoring Darren Kavinoky and that we did not provide any product to him or to higi for this run.
If you have any additional questions, please let us know. Thank you.

You really don't trust me even after all I've done? Good, I expect nothing less.
The last communication I got from Garmin was that they don't believe they are sponsoring them but they are getting another department at Garmin to take a second look. I pointed out that the Garmin logo is on the WhatsMyWin website but not on the RV or their shirts so there is a mixup somewhere.
Wow you sound dodgy now.
New update from Jed about the live GPS tracking. Looks like Garmin is indeed a sponsor and they have Garmin watches and we may get be getting the live tracking from that:
Hey Andy,
I wanted to check-in and keep you updated, as promised. While I know it’s been a point of contention among your group, Garmin is indeed a product sponsor (whomever said otherwise was not entirely informed - but it’s a big company so I see how it could've happened). Regardless, I’ve included the exchange with their rep below to put it in context.
Garmin aligned with the project after the RV was wrapped and some initial materials printed (they are on the current shirts and site); however, Garmin is absolutely part of the journey as a sponsor and have been very generous. I mention this because we’ve worked with them to make sure the watches they provided are properly tracking the guys daily and the data is available for real-time tracking online.
Darren is on his way back to meet the crew in Dallas and both Darren and Kyle will be actively tracking their daily routine via the Garmin watches and making it available online and through the various social outlets. The final tech logistics are being handled now, but I wanted to keep you informed.
I appreciate your insight.
Respectfully,
Jed Wallace

Looks like you got busted.
If they do indeed begin live tracking (doubtful), expect to see a Rob Young like drop off in actual mileage.

How unfortunate for them. Can you imagine the look on their faces when told by Garmin that they MUST supply the actual data.
They had planned a nice little holiday riding the RV, dropping off at nice hotels and blagging the media.
I still see no real time tracker saying where they actually ARE though.

Except this scam guy is just a troll. You don't really believe that's from Garmin do you?

You may want to read the Terrie and Dave Reading thread to see what I've done for that thread if you think I'm faking all these posts. They are all real.

Yup, i believe Garmin are onto you now.
Sorry Darren, or is it Kyle, but Garmin will suss you as fakes soon enough. Sorry about that.
We have screenshots of all the fake mileage you claimed you were doing, so dont bother deleting it.
When you are forced to do the trip properly, with Garmin tracking, you aren't going to be doing 120 mile days, and THEN we take all this to the media, to bust you as lying con men.
I am also contacting Garmin myself
Jed Wallace at Street Relations is true to his words and the live GPS tracker for Darren Kavinoky is now up! You can either see it on Darren Kavinoky's website or directly go to the LocaToWeb tracker. Now get some sunshine you basement dwellers.
Ok, so now anyone can find him, and surprise him at any time.
If you trolls send me a link with your live Google Maps locations, I can have multiple trackers up on screen and watch where everyone is and see who is getting closer. It would be entertaining.
