I’m a LD rider, so getting weather radar images on my map screen on top of music and nav is great when I’m out for a month ride.

THANK YOU GARMIN!

In the next version, after you miss the turn twice and it has to recalculate, it stops talking to you other than to say “I give you, you look at the damn map”

Who needs the calm, polite, professionally recorded voice prompts when you can have your wife’s prerecorded instructions?

Oh, and if you want to upgrade to a newer model, does it cost you 50% of your savings?
