Here's hoping your 810 isn't just as screwy!
Actually, with the most recent firmware update, things seem to be much better...I updated about 200 miles ago and have only lost my phone connection once so far.
There are some tricks to using it though, for example, if you load your route before you leave and the end point is the same as the start point, it'll constantly tell you to turn around and head to end point the entire ride. I get around this by starting/loading the route after I start my ride. I'm not sure if this was ever fixed or not, I just work around it now.

Feel free to shout if you have any questions or come across anything odd. I've had mine for a few months now and have encountered a handful of issues, but the firmware updates have been plentiful and it seems to get better with each one.

My former LBS is getting out of the "Specialized" business and only selling Trek going forward. So they're blowing out all the Spesh merch.
I got a pair of Comp MTB shoes, a pair of gloves and a Bar Phat grip tape kit, each 40% off.

Nice. I remeber when my LBS stopped selling Cervelo's, they were practically giving them away. If I had money at the time I would've bought one with no hesitation. Maybe even two.

My preferred LBS did the same. I have a Spesh helmet from when I first bought my MTB back in 2006, but now they're only Trek/Bonty stuff.

After about 80 miles with my boss and his wife(in 108 degree temps), this felt pretty good.

I sound tough now, but when it gets below 60 degrees I'll sound like a little split-tail.
