Handy security check for trips in the North, and the route writing feature will definitely be used in other ways than lap.

The device is not as fast as a smartphone in terms of map loading speed or as intuitive to use, but it is reliable and easy to operate even when wearing thick gloves. Route planning is awkward, but possible with the device's own functions. I definitely recommend using a computer and some program (e.g. Garmin Basecamp or Caltopo) if you plan longer routes, and then transfer these routes to the device. The compass seems to point in the same direction as the traditional one and navigation with the device is easy. Garmin's TopoActive map doesn't do anything when moving in nature (all details down to height curves and paths are missing), but the accompanying MML map is very good. Of course, this doesn't support routing, so I downloaded an OSM-based terrain map from the internet, with which routing also works on top of the MML map. This uses a fair amount of power, so I recommend some kind of rechargeable batteries, I use Pale Blue AA lithium batteries.

There is a ringing game with about a little hype. The previous GPS was also from Garmin, so the interface was familiar in that regard. Maps guaranteed by the National Land Survey of top quality.
