The three features I'm most excited about are the sat maps of course and the extended range, but I'm really excited about the 3 axis compass.  I was out this morning and was trying to get a fix on a dog that was out at 900 yards.  One, I kept loosing her signal and 2nd, when I'd re-aquire the signal, I'd have to wait for the compass to orient itself.  Very frustrating!   At first glance you'd want to follow the pointer right?  I'd start to follow the pointer since it's supposedly pointing directly at her, then as I take off I'd take a second look and realize it's pointing south, but I'm heading north?   There is a lag time for it to correctly align itself and in the heat of battle, this gets frustrating.   If the 3 axis compass works as advertised, that problem should be solved?
