The 810, for me at least, was a disaster that I could never get to work as promised / advertised..
As far as the 810 goes, Garmin did recently release firmware 3.0 for it and that did solve most of the issues that I was having with it. By that time I had already sworn it off as dead to me..
I am really diggin the 1000 though even with it's minor annoyances..
the ongoing problem with my 810 is that every so often my last ride gets stuck in a loop loading when I try to bring it back up to review it. then i have to go and delete all rides and it drives me nuts. they were supposed to fix this with the last software patch but it still happens. i have plenty of available memory on the device, it's just so frustrating that it really puts garmin in a bad light for me. i've researched the problem in their forums and have even written to their support to no avail. Makes me mad.
The main issue preventing me from upgrading to the 1000, other than being disappointed in Garmin for my crappy 810, is that if I understand the reviews correctly, you can't enter multiple bicycle profiles. If that's true, it really sucks, I have 4 bikes I swap my current Garmin between and it's a must have feature for me. That and the fact I'd need to buy 4 new k-edge mounts not that it's that expensive, just a hassle.
