I bought a Beeline yesterday!

I've been using a Garmin Nuvi 67 for the last few years. It's good but not as good as Google Maps or Waze, so on my new Himalayan I decided to try using Google Maps with my Note 20 Ultra. It worked great, as expected but the practicality of having the expensive phone exposed to thieves and vibration, not to mention accidentally leaving it on the bike when doing a delivery, wasn't ideal.
So I bought the gun metal version of Beeline which can be fitted with GoPro compatible mounts and can be taken off and pout in my pocket in seconds thus leaving my expensive phone in my pocket, unseen.
I'm not paranoid, but in this country it's wise to reduce the chances of theft. I'll be running a few courier jobs today and hopefully it gets me to where I want to go, so I'll report back later.
I set it fairly high so that it's easier to see and used a GoPro mount I had lying around.

Similar but different situation here.
My needs are more than Garmin can deliver so went with two Duraforce Pro rugged Android phones, one in pocket for talk one on the bike in a Juiced Squeeze mount+ buzzkill for SatNav.

Im interested in your initial and longer term impressions of the Beeline.

Ideally, I would also get a cheap used Android and hotspot it, keeping my expensive Note 20 out of view, but used prices are silly here.
Back to the Beeline - I'm not totally convinced for the kind of courier work I do in this big city. It's not very accurate at all and reports a turning as being 45m away when I'm actually at the turning already.
There's also the 'map factor'; seeing a map in front of you which tells you the name of the street you need to turn at, how many blocks away it is etc, is comfortable and I got used to it over the years.
Sadly, I will probably go back to the Garmin Nuvi 67 and sell the Beeline.
