I test out the new Starlink internet from the largest wilderness in the Eastern United States while doing a portion of the Georgia Traverse in my 4x4 Mercedes Sprinter Van

Starlink for RVs is ideal for customers traveling to locations where connectivity has been unreliable or completely unavailable.

Users can expect high speed, low latency internet in areas marked "High Capacity", and notably slower speeds during hours of peak usage in areas marked as "Low Capacity" or during events with many collocated users.

Starlink for RVs is not designed for use while in motion.

The Georgia Traverse is a collection of county, state and Forest Service roads that comprise a (mostly) off-pavement route across North Georgia. It is designed to be traveled east to west, beginning at Burrells Ford Road along the Georgia / South Carolina border. The Georgia Traverse visits North Carolina and Tennessee before ending at the Georgia / Alabama border. The total mileage of all paved and unpaved sections is 390 miles. I included a few alternate, off-pavement sections to explore along the Traverse. The total mileage includes the alternate sections, as shown in the map and represented in the download. However, roads not explicitly shown as part of the Traverse are not included in the mileage. Of the 390 total miles presented here, 226 miles are unpaved road surfaces consisting of gravel, dirt or both. Connecting the off-tarmac sections are 164 miles of pavement, with just over 40% of the paved miles found west of the Cohutta and Big Frog Wilderness Loop. Though I found limited opportunities for off-pavement connectivity in the western portion of the Traverse, I decided to include what I did find in an effort to offer a border to border travel experience across Georgia.
