Cool product, happy with the purchase, maybe Ill buy it again.

Great device for little money. You can install (i. E. replace the regular one, keeping the name) one . img map up to 4-5 MB in size. This is an average region or a quarter of Hong Kong - it depends on the detail. At the same time, there will be less memory for recording tracks! You can download ready-made maps or cut them yourself in the GPSMapEdit program. True, such cards are of little use, since the screen is black and white and of low resolution. Waypoints are conveniently created and transferred to the navigator with the free BaseCamp program from the Garmin website. (The same program can download ates, now it is firmware v.32022) Prepare a couple of dozen points in advance, create a few more on the way and feel quite confident in space! Return to the starting point - no problem!
The ERA-PRO EP-010917 case was suitable for storing the navigator.

Pros

Convenient menu and controls. Economical. Quickly catches satellites, reacts to course deviations after a few steps. Gives out a lot of useful information. Tolerable price (no competitors). It is convenient to work through the USB port - it is visible as an external drive.

Cons

Hangs for 3-5 seconds. when marking waypoints. A small amount of memory is the company's policy . - for these minuses I lower the score by a point. The rest is not critical. All the disadvantages inherent in a black and white LCD display of small size and resolution. For operational work, you always need a computer at hand, otherwise a very time-consuming process is obtained. It’s convenient to hold in your hands, you can hang it around your neck, but it’s problematic to fix it somewhere (bicycle, moto-car), until you figured out how.
