I used to be a big fan. We used I extensively in past years, with the unlimited plan. But we started to have issues the last 2 years, and again this year. It’s a real PITA if tech support wants you to do a firmware update to fix your problem and the nearest cell service is days away! I just don’t think it ranks very high up on Garmin’s long term plan. I would be at all surprised if they let it go “fallow” one day. But if this is any indication of their commitment to support, I’ll be steering clear of Garmin when it comes to purchases of future bigger ticket electronics.
