Suz loves it for golf but thinks the whole thing is a bit geeky and complicated. I have to agree that anything this comprehensive does have an associated learning curve. I am still on the steep part of that curve but having a ball with this device. I have not yet found a way to download my audiobooks to the device and it does need to be charged after about eight hours of use but the capabilities are worth it to me.
