Price Paid: Gift

I received this unit as a retirement gift about six weeks ago and after going through the user's manual, setting the base point at my house I realized that this $500 dollar unit pretty much does what my old $89 unit and my compass does.

It is supposed to be a color unit but mostly the whole small screen is coffee colored with a red line for the interstate five miles away. Not a local street or highway in sight.

My big retirement gift turned out to be a $500 turd.
