When correctly used is the issue, but not referring here to whether or not the device gets turned on. I'm referring to the actual capabilities of the device, the way the device logs and buffers data, the logging rate, the softwares mathematical data interpretation and then the data presentation.
I don't yet see in Sandra Vi's Garmin map crazy speeds like 14MPH, which I do see in Mimi's. Secondly, there is no way to go back and check that 14MPH data point (where it occurred, under what conditions) like on the Garmin map. Beside superior data presentation, one issue you keep ignoring is the actual mechanisms of data logging, buffering and math interpolation done prior to data upload to the satellite.
Both devices have the same capabilities in the way the device logs positions, in how it can buffer those data, and in the logging rate.
The mathematical data interpretation (speed calculation) is bullshit for both devices (although differently retrieved, Garmin by software calculation on the server and RaceDrone by the build in accelerometer). Both should not be used as an argument against or in favor of either Sandra or Mimi. It's just a gimmick on both devices (or better: on the representation of the data of both devices). All both devices do is take a gps position every couple minutes, nothing more, nothing less.
The Garmin does not do any math interpolation prior to sending the data to the satellite, it just sends its DeviceId, lon, lat and a datestamp to the satellite, just as the RaceDrone tracker sends the same information over the mobile network.
