Horses for courses
It works where it's meant to work. You put the post code in or pick a point via google maps and it takes you there, no hassle, no getting locked out if you don't want to buy or can't remember a 47 digit code, no messages about your software version being over four hours old. It's designed for sales reps and holiday makers. You can tell it it's allowed to leave the road.
The downside is that ouside the area it was meant for it is a complete unknown. It certainly doesn't contain a map of every Touratech distributor between Benghazi and Bharain.
If that is a bad thing or not depends where you are going. I ditched Garmin three years ago when I realised I mostly ride in areas that Tom Tom covers. I won't switch back unless my riding habits change and even then I might just add a basic reciever to an I-something pad computer that'll do other stuff.
