Génialissime 23

I bought it for hiking, even if it is initially planned for cycling. This is exactly what I wanted, lightweight (55g), great battery life (18 hours), sunlight readable and at night (backlight light). It is small enough to be attached to the pommel of my hiking stick. So, I never go out without hiking map, always with an eye on the trace on the screen.

For information, and given the time that I spent in finding the information on the internet:
I create my online traces on the site GPSies which also lets you insert waypoints (waypoints or marks) as views, tables pique-nique.Il must then export the file in Garmin TCX format and put Course NewFiles the file in the Edge 500. The Edge 500 constantly displays the distance and time to go to the next crossing points.
As once connected it behaves as a storage drive such as a USB key, I can even connect my Samsung Android phone and install new trail.
It has excellent accuracy (
It can also be used to store a route for a photographer, for example, which allows to find the location of the photograph is taken according to the time (when the camera has exactly the same time as the GPS).

He also used to direct me on 2 wheels, rain, something my GPS / phone can do.

Only annoying item, sometimes the path disappears for a few seconds. I guess he's writing in its internal memory, which is not super fast but allows to have this great autonomy. And it is not a problem when you have a speed not too fast, as can be on foot.

He quickly recharge over USB, enough to recharge anywhere.
