As I am still learning the features....

This was an upgrade to my old sat com GPS. The touch screen is a handy feature that I am still learning. The ability to take photos was a nice addition. As I am still learning the features, I enjoy it even more.

Substantial Handheld

Well-built and a substantial handheld. The only thing to bring the star rating down one is that the icons into a menu driven usage is not all that intuitive (maybe they are all that way). I'll have to go online and search for tutorials. Maybe they have a good tutorial on their site.

Out of date and buggy

It's not great. In many many ways. Unless the device is fundamentally improved, smartphones with Starlink like T-Mobile or even satellite SMS on iPhone and Samsung + offline maps will take it over. On user experience, this device is from the stone age. And some serious problems - satellite SMS doesn't get delivered reliably. And when it does, looks like spam that nobody will read. I can also list at least 25 UI bugs, most basic is that on the map, it's frequently impossible to locate yourself. Garmin was a pioneer in consumer GPS and I guess they never left the 90's because of loyal fans. But that's going to drop sharply like the blackberry.
