Hi Steve, welcome back....this unit, has a hefty price tag coupled to it... (Garmin Overlander PART NUMBER 010-0219510.... R15 499,00 https://buy.garmin.com/en-ZA/ZA/p/685257) and I might be wrong but people will not likely be spending this kind of money on a Gps..With more and more navigational apps becoming available on smartphones, you may wonder whether it’s worth it to buy a dedicated GPS device for your vehicle. Apps such as Waze have made a name for themselves by providing up-to-the-minute traffic information from crowd-sourced data.
Only my opinion.
