A full charge on a Garmin GPS unit will last longer than you are able to pedal in a day. If you are doing a multi-day trip then all you need to do is carry a portable charge pack.

Yes, I do that too.

I can be pretty slow depending on the terrain. :D How long is that time-wise?

:lol: If his fear applies equally to my wireless bike computer, I’m in big trouble.

Wonder if 10G is twice as dangerous than 5G or whether it’s like the Richter Scale.

I made myself a cue sheet last week to make sure I could get to the doctors office. looking at a map and planning a route is really difficult for me, couldn't do it even when I was supposed to when delivering food

Can confirm the first part; it will go even longer if you set it to less-than-max GPS precision.

A friend who has the 1040 Solar told me that it doesn't really add much runtime. Some, sure...But not enough to make it worth the extra $150 unless you really need max runtime.

The embolden. Uh, no, no where near. I've carried a battery stick, plugged into the 800, on all my long rides. As they say on the long distance forum, a century is not a long ride. Those little top tube bags work great for that.
