I've had mine for 18 months. I have not been using the mapping function for a number of reasons. I will use the mapping and routing feature this October in Italy, but I plan to depend on paper maps for back-up. I do like the larger display over the 500.
I'm very satisfied. I like the easy change from one bike to the next. I'm always using the current speed, cadence, average speed, distance, slope, and heart rate data. It's a great on-board trainer that helps me push harder or keep a century pace, depending on the ride.
