    Pros

    Well produced.

    Cons

    Seemed like a marketing and sales piece that I had to pay for. There was little useful contect.

    General Comments

    If I knew it was going to be a sales peice I could have gotten that pitch from Garmin and not spent the money. I appreciate Sporty's as a company and chose not to return it, but I really felt it was not worth what I paid for it as it did not teach me much at all.

    I was a little disappointed that it was not very detailed in its explanation of how to operate the Garmin 396.

    Pros

    A good intro to the 396/496.

    Cons

    Only 30 minutes. At the price of the 396/496, this should be thrown in for free. Watching it more than once would be a waste of time. It is a better marketing tool than a "how to" tool.

    General Comments

    This was the first Sporty's DVD I've ever watched and I was disappointed with it overall. Maybe there are other better ones, but I'm not too inclined to spend the $$ to find out.

    Not enough info to make it worth the price. It only skims the surface; I learned way more just playing with the unit.
