Garmin GPSMAP 64x Handheld GPS with Preloaded TopoActive Maps in Black/Navy, One Size (010-02258-00) Review

I'm good at tech (programmer) but for some reason I can't figure it out. Also, the base camp is TERRIBLE. I basically paid over $300 for a striper. That's all I can do. Maps and routing are too complicated. It's probably possible to get a lower version if I just wanted to note. Okay, I'll keep going, and maybe I'll get to it at some point. I don't trust that thing.

I had serious problems activating my device and downloading maps from the Garmin website. I spent two hours on the phone with tech support to finally…

Old-school technology, but not easy to use and not without serious flaws. I sent the device back. I've had no issues with other GARMIN devices including my trusty bike computer.
