Texsox Posted July 26, 2020 Author Share Posted July 26, 2020 It's funny almost all the articles talk about run and cycle mapping data them towards the end And it affects airplane GPS grounding some planes. WTF? That seems a bit bigger than someone 3.4 mile morning run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Typically I just use Google Maps. Is there something you get out of one of these devices that makes it worth paying for? I get maps, traffic, turn by turn directions, detours, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For mapping workouts you get stats and history. A couple of RV channels I watch talk about the convenience of having a dedicated GPS so they could use their phones for other tasks, bigger screens on GPS, RV (truck) specific routes, heads up navigation, and a couple other features. I just don't want more clutter on my dash, more cables, more more more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
