As with my Garmin Tread, the software is wonky. It does not recognize the SD card after going through different cards and formatting. I even bought an MS computer to see if the installed card was there, it is not. I ended up installing maps to the base ram. I was getting error messages on in correct satellite files which I fixed by doing a hard reset. The device locks in satellites very quickly and the Inreach function is great, better than my Montana 750i.
Several bugs. When adjusting certain widgets, the unit resets. Adjusting the home pages has bugs too where sometimes the changes don’t stick. Updated the firmware a week ago and lots of my home pages defaulted to the original settings when pinning and unpinning.
I bought this unit 3 or weeks ago and have used it 2-3 times a week for hiking. it has been extremely accurate with location. it has a lot of really nice features. the apps are working great I use the outdoor Maps Plus subscription with it and the layers are super helpful for topography. Battery life is awesome. I would highly recommend this unit for a compact package with the inreach technology as a real plus.
