Lezyne Super GPS

Hi there,

I have recently purchased a Lezyne Super GPS (2015/16 model I believe) after my new Garmin Edge 25 battery died after just a few days. I would charge it up fully then 2 minutes into a ride it would tell me the battery is about to die, then get a message to say ride data saving, then it would turn off. This happened 3 times, luckily enough Amazon refunded without quibble, but it put me off Garmin and I hunted around for something similar, or even better, for the same money and came up the Lezyne. I'm now wondering if it is, and maybe some one can help.

So, does anyone know if the only way to upload the ride data to Lezyne / Strava is to open the app on the phone, turn on the Lezyne,connect both devices, navigate to the ride data, checkbox the ones which aren't already uploaded and then upload them? This seems fairly long winded when compared with the Garmin which auto uploads when you click the finished riding button on the Garmin without going into the app itself. You can simply leave the device on the bike and walk away, no messing. Secondly, it looks like there is no turn by tun or navigation of any sort on the Super GPS Lezyne (2015/16 model) The Garmin Edge 25, although very limited, does have this function. If this is the case with these two functions, apart from the battery life (which is great) compared to the Garmin, offers me little to keep the Lezyne as it feels like a 'step backwards', even though the Lezyne has a couple of other bits that dont actually interest me. (Altitude etc)

Have I overlooked these areas / options or am I correct can any one tell me ?

TIA
