Pros & Cons
Pros

A problem on alexa is that in the app there is a choice to set temp as c or f and in distance in miles or km it works well if you want to see temp in c and km or temp in f and miles but it you want to mix cmiles or fkm then alexa follows the temp giving metric if c and imperial if f selected why give 2 choices if it going to ignore the choiceapart from this the display is clear especially at night and the sound goodupdateusing radio was a bad choice of words should be music
