These were a lot of the reasons I was considering the Overlander. I appreciate your feedback!I have the Overlander and a tablet running Gaia. I like having both.
Gaia is not a plug and play system. You have to D/L maps for where you are going to be. Routes and POIs have to be entered. Gaia does not giver turn by turn directions or any directions at all. You follow a route you entered into the program.
The Overlander has off grid no cell signal dependent operability. On the trail and want to know how far gas is ? Gaia can't tell you that but the Overlander will. Closest campgrounds? The Overlander can tell you not Gaia.
Many people forget there is not always a cell signal to depend on. Garmin does not need that cell signal to work.
