I just got one. I crashed two computers trying to download the software and getting the card reader to work. (hint - get a kid to help you with this part).

I've downloaded the map for my area, the 64 card holds about the state of MN. I'm off to get a 256 card or two. The software is encrypted so you can only download onto 5 identified cards. I think this kind of sucks, but I suppose they have to stop pirating of their software.

So far, I like it. I've been practicing with it and it seems to do just what I wanted it to do. Very nice screen. It's bigger than some other units, but I don't know how you could make it smaller when you want a 3" display screen.

It does everything I want, plus 10 times more than I'll ever use.
