Customer Review

The "normal bike computer functions" are great, function properly, and are with activated backlight in sunlight (with anti-reflective protective film) legible. The simultaneous display of up to 10 freely selectable functions is super. The Garmin Software (Training Center and Basecamp) unfortunately are rather impractical and "foreign" software feels partly be. Compelled to calculate the data transferred from Garmin data again, here breaks just yet to take them into to completely recalculate the altitude, and here I'm talking about Abwechungen of 50%. The only usable software is Traininstagebuch.org, so here is still much room for improvement.
But now, unfortunately, for the worse: As Navi how such a device hopes, actually expected at the high price, and can not be a science also from the technical side, the device fails completely.
On PC planned tracks when dubbing from the edge recalculated yah ... here will not be driven there where you have planned, and really want to go, but where it fits the grapeshot. Woe to you cross his own route, because then it's maybe a 2-minute return to the starting line, as a kind of shortcut. Moreover takes the calculation at a distance of 50 km before 5 minutes and is then forgotten again even if you do not start the tour the same and recalculated. When the calculated price then leaves time comes, the display, the unit attempts to calculate a new route, and locks up inevitably.
Either the Austrian open maps such inaccurate or the device, because I drive constantly alongside the actual distance at intersections with several ways stupid, because it is difficult to assess here, which is the right. The only reasonably functioning navigation method is the follow the line on the device, almost like with your finger on the map, but just in real time. But even without the turn by turn, ie in unfamiliar terrain you have a view on the device constantly have to miss any diversion.
The reception is it really good, even in the deepest forest no dropouts.
On inquiries in Garmin states only that is just so ....
So great as a bicycle speedometer, but just as a navigation device, a disaster. However, I unfortunately also lacks a real alternative, which is why I then but hope in a reasonable updates.
Hopefully I'm not too optimistic.
Who hopes for a Navi in ​​unknown terrain, AWAY !!!
