As I am still learning the features....
This was an upgrade to my old sat com GPS. The touch screen is a handy feature that I am still learning. The ability to take photos was a nice addition. As I am still learning the features, I enjoy it even more.

Substantial Handheld
Well-built and a substantial handheld. The only thing to bring the star rating down one is that the icons into a menu driven usage is not all that intuitive (maybe they are all that way). I'll have to go online and search for tutorials. Maybe they have a good tutorial on their site.

Simple to use
Bought this two weeks ago and have used on two fairly long hikes so far. Really pleased with how it works and the simplicity of setting it up and using the Explorer app to map out the hikes. Quite and upgrade from the cell phone navigation. The Inreach function is a nice safety feature for sure.

Great new user interface, but software bugs exist
I had a GPSMAP 66sr (that I just regretfully sold) and although the user interface is very old, the unit is very robust and has never failed me. I needed inReach and like the new user interface of the H1i Plus (similar to the user interface on my Edge 1050) but found the software to be too buggy. I see there are regular bug fix releases and I am looking forward to thi...

It is difficult to figure out all the operations. Keypad is not intuitive.

General improvement over the Garmin Montana 750i
I bought this as an upgrade over the 750i. I love the addition of voice messages and the ability to send pictures. I generally love the upgrade as it does have more features compared to the 750i but is missing some obvious additions. These include street navigation. It is compatible but not included. (it is included with the Montana. I navigate to places with no cell s...

ornery
As with my Garmin Tread, the software is wonky. It does not recognize the SD card after going through different cards and formatting. I even bought an MS computer to see if the installed card was there, it is not. I ended up installing maps to the base ram. I was getting error messages on in correct satellite files which I fixed by doing a hard reset. The device locks i...

Lots of bugs very frustrating
Several bugs. When adjusting certain widgets, the unit resets. Adjusting the home pages has bugs too where sometimes the changes don’t stick. Updated the firmware a week ago and lots of my home pages defaulted to the original settings when pinning and unpinning.
