The product is good, there are only a few minor flaws.

I use the second year. Before that, I used a smartphone, it was a tin, compared to a navigator. Happy with the accuracy. I hid a basket with mushrooms in the forest, put a mark in the navigator and went to pick up the second one. Returning home, I went out to a hidden basket, with an accuracy of 1 m. I lost a knife, found it along the track. In automobile mode, he drove the car into the forest along the dirt road. At 100 km/h, the map holds the route. Consumes batteries economically. I bought…

Pros
  • Reliability. Accuracy. Satellites catch even from the apartment. Holds the battery for a long time. Ability to install maps of the General Staff. Work with maps, points and routes on the computer, their preliminary preparation for loading into the navigator. Convenience, simplicity and clarity of use (friendly interface). ating built-in TOPO maps.
Cons
  • Slow map scrolling (weak processor). Lack of joystick blocking (eliminated by turning on the "motion counter" option or buying a branded case (high price)). The high cost of branded accessories (I had to order a silicone case on Aliexpress).

I'm very happy with the product, it's very satisfying.

Use mainly for cycling, hiking, skiing and caravanning. It's great to score points at BaseCamp and go sightseeing. Or make a route and ride a bike. With maps, OSM knows every trail. I have the device since June 17th. With its pros: Reliable device. Holds batteries for a long time. A huge number of maps for it are available on the Internet. I mainly use OpenStreetMap. The screen with the backlight turned off is quite readable in the daytime. In conjunction with Base Camp - a dream, nothing else…

Average purchase, there is something to complain about.

If you can not take the usual 20-ku, take it as a pocket navigator for hiking in the woods and traveling in unfamiliar areas. But it is better to take the usual 20ku. Some pros: It would be the best travel navigator if one But - "improvement" in the "x" model. Further disadvantages Got cons: Relative to a simple 20, a larger screen in resolution gives greater brakes when used. It's absolutely not serious. At 20ki, and so the maps are not quickly outlined, but here the delay is even more…

I am amazed at how well the product is made, just magically!

I use it as a tourist. Case - holder and protective film purchased separately I upload maps via MapInstal, using MapSource I lay routes and clean up tracks (when installing OSM maps on a computer, it is important to install. Bat. run as administrator) Pros: -Positioning accuracy, - autonomy, - tolerable display in the sun, - versatility of batteries, -splash and dustproof. Has some cons: -Sophisticated (unusual) menu, -joystick, and buttons, are not blocked, - hard to find accessories - small…

Great product, a pleasure to use.

I use the device for hiking / skiing / cycling tourism. There are a number of complaints about the device, but in general I think that the model is excellent for its purposes. Minuses: 1.1 Uploading raster maps. If you need normal cards and for free - the device will have to be changed, i. E. hack. If you're not ready for it, that's a big disadvantage. If you are ready - then do not care, because once and not difficult. 1.2 Preparation of raster maps. Some training is required when working…

Pros
  • Resistance to mechanical and weather influences. Long battery life.
Cons
  • Dancing with a tambourine for downloading raster maps. No joystick lock. Long scroll map.

The level of technology ten years ago at very modern prices. A very weak processor that simply does not pull out moving around the map. It’s just a disaster with the maps themselves, you can’t just download and download it, only if you buy official maps at a price more expensive than the navigator. Preloaded maps - frank g. No. In order to upload something of your own, you need to read a lot of information, download programs, spend a lot of time. With no guaranteed result. And this despite the…

Pros
  • Long battery life Protected Model
Cons
  • Slows down when scrolling the map To download cards into it, you need to call a shaman with a tambourine, it’s not a fact that it will help No joystick lock Elementary accessories such as latches are unreasonably expensive RF TOPO base maps are outdated and very far behind Google in details Weak GPS receiver

Wonderful quality, one hundred percent satisfied!

Has pros: A good navigator for its price, does its job, color maps. With my device there was a map of the roads of 2022 - as I understand it, only automobile ones. But on a flash drive, you can throw any cards you want. Different cons: Not very convenient control, if the cursor moved the map, then it is difficult to return to the current point, plus auto-scrolling is disabled (or I did not figure out how to enable it). Slowly responds to zoom changes. There is no button blocking (if you need to

The product can be used, I expected a little more.

I have a question for Garmin engineers - have you tried traveling with your brainchild? The joystick in your pocket is constantly pressed, which turns on the backlight and sometimes puts waypoints. This leads to a decrease in operating time by several times and the need to clean waypoints after each trip. It was impossible to make an elementary blocking of the joystick? Or is this done on purpose so that users buy expensive cases, the presence of which does not guarantee the absence of clicks…

Pros
  • - Holds the battery for a long time (if you do not leave the house) - Moisture resistant - Ability to download maps - Expandable memory via microSD - work from AA batteries - compact
Cons
  • - no joystick button lock - very slow when scrolling maps - inaccurate location determination (especially in the forest) - the claimed battery life is reduced to "no" due to the lack of joystick blocking - dancing with tambourines when installing cards

A little bit not what I expected, generally fine.

I went with this navigator through the taiga for about 14 km, well, I sort of got out and then returned to the starting point. He doesn't do his job well. It works accurately in open areas, but in windbreaks of all kinds where the speed of movement is simply less than 1 km per hour, it is difficult to understand where to go. Maps can be downloaded sufficiently detailed (BirdsEye service). A very capricious device, it does not load more than 100 Jpeg tiles (. So you won’t have more than two or…

Pros
  • Fast positioning, long battery life, high moisture protection IPX 7 standard, downloading BirdsEye space images, RAM just over 3GB, not a large screen (sufficient for orientation on the ground), low weight, comfortable to hold in your hand.
Cons
  • Long drawing of custom maps, space images of harmin are drawn faster. The bearing in the dense forest is difficult, it is difficult to go even along the route, you have to constantly check the direction, which jumps from 0 to 180 degrees (very upset, a waste of time and effort). Lots of features I don't need. It would be possible to make more RAM and more, so as not to buy anything. There is still an error in determining the location. In direct sunlight, nothing is visible on the screen.

I'm amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

Some pros: Economical battery power; Water protection; Works in frost. I took it to record bike trip tracks - it works much more reliably than a phone, but still, occasionally it cuts off. Great to use for navigating a pre-prepared track. Has cons: I don't think it's justifiably expensive. Navigation is weak - if you need to create a bike route in the city - it is better to use the phone. Slows down the display of the stock map, but you can download open OSM maps.

Just super, it's beautifully made, I'm very happy with it.

I bought in the spring of 2022, for hiking in the forest to hunt or pick mushrooms. Satellites catch well, there were no problems even in cloudy weather. I uploaded normal maps, some I even made in the editor myself, so that there were boundaries of the hunting grounds. I am satisfied with the purchase. Has some pros Raster maps, finds GPS and GLONASS satellites, large memory. Has some cons There is no button lock, the joystick is constantly pressed in the pocket, it beeps, the battery runs out
