Garmin Edge 520 Plus Update.

No longrr feeling dumb. Today I went out for a 45 mile ride, over various types of terrain, including wooded area.

I am happy to report that the 520 Plus is working in all the areas that I tested. (I did not test the Navigation features).

That little computer works very well.

The push-button controls work better than the touch screen on my 810, at least for me; a plus is no finger smudges.

The screen, though smaller than the 810, is easy to read, even using six data fields as I do on Screen #1 .

The 520 Plus has some endearing qualities:

1. I can use it to sutomatically turn on my Cycliq CE rear camera.

2. It gives me warnings when sensor batteries are running low, as it was the case today with my magnetless cadence sensor. No more running out of juice in mid-ride.

3. Pairing up with sensors and satellites is very quick.

I think that I will keep it and keeping learning and using all of its features.

BTW, I will put up my 800 and 810 for sale. I just need to do a reset and erase all personal data before I put them up for sale.

Thanks everyone.
