<div dir="ltr">That's a shame you feel that way. I can't be happier with my Garmin. That being said it uses standard AA batteries and gives me the option of setting the type of battery, rechargeable or throwaway. A dedicated device should potentially be more accurate. but that is an assumption not a fact.<div>

Another consideration for choosing a tablet or phone versus a dedicated device (and I feel very strongly about it): When my Garmin needed a new battery last year, Garmin told me it was impossible, since my Nuvi was too old. It was made in 2012. But they are willing to sell me a new one.<br>
<br>
In my opinion, dedicated devices are outdated. I will never even speak to Garmin again!<br>
