It plays well with Garmin Connect and Strava also, the ride data automatically populates both.

I also have the "Openstreetmaps" for my area installed on the device.
A Connect generated course does TBT. This is what I use on my 1000 as its as easy to create in Connect as RWGPS as well as much easier to load to the device.

That said, I’ve never tried it on a 520, which generally does TBT OK, just doesn’t do it as well as a Wahoo.

Having used a Bolt as well as a Edge 810 and 1000, the RWGPS interface to the Bolt is very good. The Connect interface to a 1000 is as good. The maps on the 520 are not as refined as a Bolt, the maps and screen of the 1000 is better then a Wahoo. IMO.
