I received this morning the Best Navigation Device (for me personally) in the Global Market... A bit expensive device, but it's really worth it.
Some applications that the Device has, such as:
* Weather Status
* Live Traffic Updates
...require you to have downloaded the App on your mobile in order to work, from what I understood for the above 2. I wasn't interested and didn't bother downloading the app to see how they work, just out of curiosity.
Now, at first glance when you receive the Package, when it arrives at your home, you say: "WOW"
The 10" screen size of the device is more than enough for a car or a mountain jeep, etc.
Of course, if you place it in the car, whether on the left corner of the windshield or in the center of the dashboard, you should know that it obstructs your visibility a little while driving, but that's just a minor detail.

Now, at the first opportunity, I decided to update its software and not only that, like the Maps of Europe that it has installed, as well as some other updates.
I connected it via Wi-Fi at 2.4Ghz (instead of the 5Ghz that my Router has) and it took about 1 hour to update, because it was updating a lot of things... (Maps of Europe, Greece, etc)
The duration didn't bother me because I wasn't in a hurry to use it for driving today, for example.
It also has an Internet Browser where you can navigate on the Internet, as if you have a clean Tablet, and not a Car Navigation Device.
Of course, as a start, I didn't try the Internet to see how it navigates, just out of curiosity, if it has any glitches, etc.
However, what I saw as soon as the Update was completed, is that it had about 30GB of reserved space.
And with the 64GB that the device has internally, I still have a long way to go.
I just didn't use the "Garmin Express" App on my Desktop Computer to see if maybe the Update on my device would take less time than the 1 hour I mentioned above.
Also, the Device doesn't have many icons (instead of a pointer on the screen) to choose from, for example, instead of a car, you can put a bird, or an airplane, or an ambulance, or a beach buggy, etc...
Maybe it wants me to connect the device to the application on my computer in "Garmin Express", and from there download more navigation icons.

Anyway, it is a very good navigation device, whether for a car, a snowmobile, or a car with a trailer, etc... that will not disappoint you anywhere.
It doesn't lag at all, it's like having an Apple Tablet. Yes, we're talking about such a good and powerful machine.
After all, it's what we say:
"You get what you pay for."
Would I recommend it? If you have the money and you don't care which one to get for navigation in your car, I would choose this one with "CLOSED EYES".
Now, if in the future, a better and more powerful one comes out, of course, I would go for that with 1000.
If you don't play with the device, with its menu, you will never learn it.
I learned it quickly within 10-15 minutes while it was updating, as we say.
If you don't get it, you will never understand what we're talking about...
