The device is quite large, but on the other hand, the big screen is a luxury when planning a route or navigating off-road. It’s worth noting that the big screen also eats up the battery pretty much if you keep the device on all the time. That is, a spare battery is included for a longer trip. Maps work, and positioning at least with this experience, really accurately. If you download an oversized birdseye file to your device, the system will crash and the device will shut down ... meaning you should download those files in smaller batches.
