I would defiantly add to previous comments that I too wish GPS Inc. would simplify their instructions the same way you did. Not having simple instructions from GPS I too wanted to get rid of my device but now can't wait to try it out as soon as our real spring weather arrives in Ontario Canada...hopefully within couple of weeks. I, as a senior citizen (70) would highly encourage other seniors who may be struggling to understand basic steps to watch Harry's video. Well done Harry...!!

Thanks a million, Harry. Just what I needed. Why Garmin doesn't have this sort of basic orientation in their product manuals or website is beyond me. They just assume everyone already knows this entry level stuff and are likely missing sales because of it!

In essence, the first of three installments ("GPS For Beginners" episodes #2 & #3 are also excellent) of Step-by-Step Procedures for the Compleat Idiot. After watching these, I no longer want to throw my Garmin GPS out the window, but instead rush outdoors & go hiking with it. Thanks Dirty Harry000!

I go to places where GPS radio reception can be almost non-existent on a smartphone, and it will absolutely kill the phone's battery when the GPS is struggling. Don't get me wrong the GPS radios on phones are generally pretty good, but a standalone device with an external antenna will find more signal which can keep you from getting lost in the middle of nowhere. It happened to me, and I now have a standalone device because I would prefer to never have that happen again. Outside of that there isn't much use for it.
