- Is this thing perfect? No. Does it feel like there are wasted features and that \"apps\" could have made this better? Totally. However, there is still nothing else on the market that works this well.Physically and functionally it is near-perfect. The mounting system is a bit annoying and the little snap feature that allows you to pop it off is worryingly tight. I literally thought it was snapped in until it tried to eject itself on the highway! It feels like you\'re going to break something when it finally clicks into place. The touchscreen works great with all gloves and the thing is pretty bulletproof, in general.While it links up to both my Sena 50R communicator and my phone, the integration is a little annoying. There is a notable volume and quality loss when music is being played through the Zumo to the headset. My 50R allows me to switch media to play directly from the phone and this is much better. Also, I cannot, for the life of me, stop it from giving me social media notifications. All of that is turned off, but it still wants to let me know that uncle Mark still thinks I\'m a libtard while riding.The only real issue I\'ve ever had with this system is its translation of .GPX files, specifically those from Gaia. I had a ~50 mile mixed surface GPX file uploaded and the Garmin seemed to make straight lines for MILES in certain sections rather than following the route. This happened to occur on one turn off to go from asphalt back to a small gravel road, which I promptly missed. I had to have my phone mounted with Gaia running to confirm that the Garmin was following the plan... it did about 95% of the time. I think the solution is to break a GPX file into smaller chunks so that the resolution is better. I haven\'t had a chance to try this out again.Now, things that could have taken this from a 95% perfect product to one that I love to use rather than need to use due to lack of a replacement: Google/Apple maps location integration would make my life SO much easier. I hate typing out the name of the place I\'m trying to find just for it to think I\'m trying to go to the Advanced Auto 50 miles away because it doesn\'t recognize that there\'s one in the same town I\'m in. So, I look it up on my phone, copy the address, paste it into the Drive app, THEN send it to the Garmin. This works fine, but it\'s 2 or 3 too many steps, once again. Why... WHY do they call their own features \"apps\"? Apps like Gaia or Onx would be a real game changer, but I\'m sure Gary and Min are too proud of their 2nd rate navigation to let better companies work with their product.Anyway, as I said, it\'s a very good product but it feels a bit like those comically large pens that restaurants make you use while signing the check... it works fine but I wish I had something that worked better.
- What I truly like about this Garmin is that it is easy for my usage and needs. As a social worker, I like to use my bike to attend meetings with the families that I serve. (I may bank on travel reimbursement) Some live in rural areas and some out of town folks as part of my catchment area. Easy to plug in my destination and hit the road. I\'m not very tech savvy, but this Garmin works great for even me. Mounting system is very secure as well.
