Well That's not even apples to oranges, because Android rocks! Google can't sell phones because they have to compete with android/Apple.
But in the bike computer mapping Industry even Playskool could give Garmin a run for their money, because well Garmin sucks. For the Money Garmin could step up their game. it's the year 2020 Memory is CHEAP, yet charges arm/leg ! quit being stingy!
