The author of that review needs to understand that a story has a beginning, middle and most importantly, an end!
I’ve got the roam, struggled with it at the start, but understanding what it does a bit better it’s a great tool for what i do, the maps are good for me, again i wanted OS to start with, but have changed my opinion now, same with the features, if you get it, just have a play and learn to understand it, i use it for ‘roaming’ about on the bike, saving routes, getting info on the ride and so on, i’m no roadie or strava lover, so don’t touch that stuff, but the roam isn’t really a roadie GPS, it’s for those who like hunting about.
One thing to learn fast is turning the volume or automatic stop feature to off, when you’re in deep woods it’ll drop out several times, or if you’re sluggishly going up a steep hill at 2mph it’ll do the same, that ability to not here the noise of it going off and on saves your sanity!
