I have the monterra and the compass has been fixed.

I did have a couple of freezing problems while navigating on my way to the hills that I think had to do with the temperature.  it was as simple as going back to the home screen and reopening the map and it was good to go again.  Another annoyance that I've found is when zooming in or out of the map it sometimes jump way off track... like to an ocean and I'm in South Dakota.  Once again the back button takes you back to your location and you can try again.  This seems to happen most when wearing gloves.  Also of note is that I couldn't get it to sync with my Sena SMH10 bluetooth.  Not a big deal for me because I also have a SR10 that fit the bill nicely and gave me turn by turn in my helmet.

I haven't owned a GPS before but I have run others while on trips so I have a little experience and I have to say I really like this unit.  I also got a tempe with mine and that is really cool.  I just need to find out if I can display the info in the map screen.  I have to go back to my home screen anytime I want to see the temperature.

All in all I'm happy with my purchase.
