Customer Review

After two months on the mountain I want to briefly describe my impressions once.

Size and weight are similar to a normal bike computer and the operation raises no questions. What, however, I noticed that to locate the satellite, the time required depends heavily on the weather. At cloudless sky it goes very fast (10 sec.) Are at moderate heavy cloud cover can also gladly wait times 45-60 sec. Is for me now but no serious minus point where interferes against the sometimes-ending satellite reception in some dense forest trails. Happens like on normal forest paths, for example if the road runs parallel to the slope and thus takes place a massive shield of a page. Later on this computer 1sek- dropouts fall though eh hardly that constant beeping when it loses the satellite and finds but a bit annoying. Outdoors or terrain above the tree line I've never had, however even with dense cloud problems.

It shows for me while driving all important data on, the only thing I can find is a pity that not the current sea level but the driven rising / fallen (whichever is more) indicating altitude. So you never know unfortunately how high you are, or if you know the altitude of the starting location and actually expects. This works for simple trips on a hill not good if it however repeatedly goes up and down you can own height only more difficult to estimate and the motivating "only 500 ... 400 ... 300 ... 200hm to hut "fall away. This is especially a shame because it could secure the unit if it were programmed.

The transfer to the computer is working properly, and there is the map display with satellite images only on Garmin Connekt.

The bike mount is simple but good and it also keeps in brisk mountain slopes (extreme downhills I have not tried) everything in its place.

All in all, I'm not very satisfied and repent buying.
