Thank you for patching the bug on Android. I have updated my review and can now recommend the device as long as the app stability is acceptable. I'll update the review again after a few weeks.

first of all, i am satisfied with the tracker, but not at all with the app. the app is neither well thought out, finished nor fully functional. you can choose from two maps (in sweden). one is extremely bad and the other is bad. some paths and lakes are missing. there is the option of adding satellite images to the map, but unfortunately this does not work. I would have expected a lot more from garmin. there is a lot to improve here.

I've had the device and software about three months. My Android Alpha app has consistent problems in communication via Bluetooth. The device settings cannot be transmitted to the device. The Bluetooth pairing is inconsistent. The link to "online support" has never worked. The app works fine on my wife's iPhone. The support personnel described how it worked on their iPhone but had no experience with Android. Very poor experience.
