For the map image option, it is not completely changed. Only part of the map. Please fix the system so that the invisible river flow can be fully visible.

Not worth the price increase. In addition, you lose your downloaded maps every time you switch to a new phone.

I have been using the app for a while and have had the paid version for a couple of years. Unfortunately I have to say that Garmin's policy has an effect that is certainly not positive (without taking anything away from the validity of the software) that will inevitably open the doors to fierce competition and in many cases not inferior from a qualitative point of view.

I download it and it comes with a 7-day trial period where you can't do anything!!!! How am I going to pay €50 if I don't know if it's going to be worth it for me!!! They could offer a monthly subscription or something like that
