What's in this Navi great advantage that it can also be operated with normal batteries. According to the manufacturer, the batteries for about 20 hours.
After unpacking and commissioning of Navis, once the main menu has been scoured. Through the touch screen, this is quick and easy. In addition to a normal map, for orientation, you find functions that are intended for track recordings or for descendants. Also Geocaching is possible with this device. But was not tried.
By default, a card not really detailed map has been installed. This is the mountain bike ride not really suitable ... unless you drive mostly on the highway. With Garmin you can buy very good cards, but for a not really small amount.
However, there are free "open" card as a download from the Internet. These are not from Garmin, but are almost as good, if not better. But that's another topic.
Before such an outdoor Navi buys for Erten times, you should be aware that the effort that has to be run before you can start a first ride on the bike, is more extensive than with a car-navigation system.
The "User's Guide" was no real help. But with the help of Internet forums have been quickly the correct folder on the "not" In the delivery "micro SD" card created and the required maps and routes installed.
Meanwhile, I've driven a couple of tours and I'm getting better with the Navi cope. Have trails and paths discovered in the area that I did not know before!
The only drawback I've found so far is that you can read the display in strong direct sunlight poorly. But that was already discussed in the forums and taken from me in purchasing. 95% of 100%, you can read the display well on a tour with activated backlight.
