Garbage, worst garmin ever
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Terrible battery life. I ran the GPS for about 4 hours and it totally killed the battery. Even without using GPS I’m charging the battery every 3 days. It’s also ridiculously complicated to program and use.
