And as long as I keep a copy of the DVD that holds the Garmin software, it will continue to work.

The software is difficult to use and you have to scour the Internet for basemaps (or, I donвЂ™t know, pay money for them or something) to make it functional.Д«ut it works.

Figuring out where you are on that ridiculously small screen (especially considering the size of the device) is not easy. This is not a perfect device (my 15-year-old Garmin, that is). Yes, itвЂ™s possible to find a map of most bike trails that one would ride, but I enjoy the experience of throwing my 15-year-old Garmin GPS into my pocket at the start of the ride, and then seeing what that tells me by the end. More in theвЂ¦shitвЂ¦I donвЂ™t even know? I guess I just like to see where IвЂ™ve ridden and how different trails interact with one another. Not in the Strava type sense, where I keep track of how quickly I did things. One of the collections I like to keep is a log of the rides that I take. Enter this device (recognizing that no electronic device should be your lone navigational tool for high consequence situations). One of them had this magical device strapped to his handlebars that barked out turn-by-turn directions, so I tucked in on their wheels and promised myself that I would never place myself in that position again, especially when there might be real consequences to losing my way. Indeed, it was only by stumbling upon three other gents in a similar state of disrepair that I was able to salvage the last portion of my ride. Who needs to charge their phone when theyвЂ™re only going to be riding for 5 or 6 hours?Д© hours later, with my phone dying and my legs dying and my frustration with the Trailforks app reaching a boiling point, I realized that a phone in your pocket is absolutely no way to embark on anything that requires any sort of accuracy in navigation. I distinctly remember the point on the morning of my departure where I decided to throw a couple of extra granola bars in my bag, yet decided that I wasnвЂ™t straying too far from civilization so I could probably get away without my USB charger. Halfway through Day 1 I found myself over prepared in some areas (way too much food) and under in many others. Earlier this year (yikesвЂ¦last year!), I found myself riding solo from one tip of the (lower) Sunshine Coast to the other. There are other resources that do that, and IвЂ™m not going to pretend to be an expert on GPS bicycle computers. This isnвЂ™t an in depth comparison between this device and other, similar ones.

This isnвЂ™t a deep dive into the technical capabilities of this device. Before we get started, IвЂ™m going to talk about what this review isnвЂ™t.
