It might be a decade old, but with the lifetime map updates (which I was happy to pay for that upgrade), it is as good as new. Exception, the Li Ion battery in it has lost 99 percent of it's capacity. But storing it in a hot vehicle in summer sun, that battery was shot in only a year or two.

When things work well and meet your needs, I see no reason to throw them out simply because more bells and whistles are newly available. But in this case, I had forgotten about setting that up over a decade ago. The unpaved roads box to uncheck was on page two of the avoidance list, I think I only saw page one when I initially set it up.

That said, I replace things when they no longer function like they should. Too many apps did not work on my Android 7 phones a year ago so I bought new phones at that time.
