I ended up sending my data via APRS (amateur radio license required) It can be done with direwolf (software) and a $20 baofeng radio. I know this works for most of the US but I'm not sure how popular it is in the rest of the world.

Here's data from my boat straight out of OP. Its picked up by ground stations and automatically plotted on aprs.fi website, Its a little erratic right now as I just upgraded to OP2 and a PI4.
It even sends me notifications when the bilge pump goes on (you can send sms via APRS) no monthly/annual cost. Well worth getting your license.
Wow, that’s really interesting and provides safety and security benefits.
