okay but not great

I need offline maps when I go camping in the western US — i.e. backcountry in my 4x4 — dirt roads, jeep trails — generally no phone signal, let alone data. This product fills the need but I don’t use it otherwise.

PROS:
- works flawlessly without service
- only download the states you need, which saves RAM

CONS:
- occasionally (rarely) gives wrong verbal directions (e.g. voice says take X-east instead of X-west, but the map on the screen shows the correct ramp).
- search for POI, e.g. gas station, doesn’t by default search for one en-route, and doesn’t tell you which direction it is (unlike Garmin GPSs), so the nearest one may be behind you and it’ll take you backwards to it.
- annoyingly tries to produce freeway names (e.g. CA-8 as “Caw-eight”, WA => “Wah”, U.S.-80 => “Us-80”, etc.)
