It has 15 new sports profiles compared to 965, including back county snobwarding, pickles hair, and even some motor sports. This list is not as wide as Phoenix 8, however, which can track surfing and now work as a full dumb clock for entertainment scuba and independent work. It really seems that the reduction is just to distinguish between predecessors and phoenix lines, as a software update can do this.
Fortunately, the features of the map have been raised from Phoenix 8, and they are excellent. It is installed with a wide range of topographical maps. Maps are easy to visit by colorful, bright and pinch and tapping. A new feature is round trip routing, which has reforms (theoretically). If you are in an ignorant city, you can tell the watch that you want to work at a distance of 5 miles and it will suggest a loop for you. If you mistakenly take a wrong turn or see something beautiful you want to check, it will take you back to your hotel Louly killing you (the reason, surely) while hitting your goal distance.
It’s such a good idea, but I could never get it to work. If I got off the road, the whole clock would crash, and I had to go around. Hopefully this is something in which Garamine can fix the future software update (updates are once a month). On the contrary, I knew the performance of the GPS, even in trees, rocks and long buildings.
A lot of competition

It is noteworthy that Garman also launched a new, Midrej Farroner 570. It has a small life of battery, low premium content (guerrilla glass 3 vs safire, aluminum bezel vs titanium), 8GB vs 32 GB, no built -in mapping, and no flashlight. Although you get the speaker and mic, and there is a 42 mm display option instead of just 47 mm, which is good for people with small wrists.
With all of this, many of these features are available on Phoenix 8. Phoenix 8 has more expensive materials, such as a full titanium body. Some hardware, such as mic and speaker, and a better battery life. There are some features that are currently unavailable, such as tolerance, but they are coming through a huge software update that the Garman has just announced.
Phoenix 8 is more expensive than 970, but it is too high. If Phoenix 8 goes on sale, as it is occasionally, it is a brain to get it instead. Farooner 970 is a premium clock with an advanced features that will provide you with a lot of insight and support if you are trying to go to the pro, but if you are not, it can be excessive and you often like to surf it instead.
