[Fot] Garmin Catalyst- anyone tried it?

[David Cutter]

I borrowed one for a test and tune a while back.  While it does all the
expected data collection, the really interesting function is the AI-based
driver coaching that kicks in after 2-3 laps.  It seemed to work as my
sector times improved.  Is it worth $799?...well here is what Sam Smith has
to say:

Cheers, Dave
