Intelligence provided after six months use

The Garmin I mounted on my mountain bike including cadence sensor and. Even when running it is used, although it is not really made for it. In the past six months he has gone through it. He was wet and dirty, fell down a few times and was certainly not overly treated with care of me. But he still works without compromise and still fun as after the first unpacking. My experiences with the cycling computer is quite positive:

+ The performance of the battery has decreased not significantly. The battery lasts still many, many hours.
+ Not once was lost during a trip to the contact pulse or cadence sensor. (With my old bike computer I had in this regard needs constantly.)
+ The GPS signal is the computer in less than one minute. That sometimes seems a bit long. Does he have the signal but once he loses it only very, very rarely.
+ The software available for PC or notebook is quite good. The descendants of the routes on Google Earth is fun.

The only exception is the accuracy. My "home track" is just over 32km long. Even if I find the same route, then the length will vary by one to two kilometers. Especially if you are superimposing the routes in Garmin Training Center, one the displacement and thus the inaccuracy looks strong. The Garmin counts tend to little kilometers. I noticed this is when a running competition. Here the Garmin has been bene route expelled shorter also with 5%.

Conclusion: The Garmin has impressed me with its many possibilities. He has maintained over the last six months of the promise. A star I pull for "imprecision" from. I am happy to recommend the Garmin Edge 500. Even I would buy it to me again.
