Anyone else really love their Garmin?

[broady]

I say love as I have had quite a few...
Does anyone else own more than one?
The 1000 is my favourite

My history is:
Garmin edge 500
Garmin edge 200
Garmin edge 800
Garmin edge 1000 explorer
Garmin edge 500
Garmin edge 1000
Garmin edge 810
Garmin edge Touring
Garmin edge 1000
Garmin edge 25
(Think that's the right order and many over lapped)

Still own the 200, 25 & 1000

And I'd still like a go with 520 and the 820

Got an Edge 200.
Wouldn't leave home without it.
Brilliant piece of kit.
Great battery life, brilliant display and accuracy and a great backlight for the dark.

No.Never had one.

Had a 200 for a few years but moved onto a 520 last year.

The 520 is a lovely piece of kit.

Garmin Edge 1000. Round trip routing was fantastic when riding in the unfamiliar Dordogne last year. Wireless uploads to Strava too.

I don't like them.

It's odd how some people simply can't resist posting contrary messages to a thread, isn't it, @broady ?
As for me: I've had an Edge 705 which worked well for about 4 years, and now I'm using the Edge 800. Neither of them was/is perfect, but they work well enough. I'm not sure, though, whether my next GPS computer will be a Garmin or not: perhaps I'll consider a Bryton, Wahoo, or something different.

What do you do to them to need so many?

That's the thing about the Internet, you don't own it, your opinion is your opinion. Some people have different experience. The sooner you work that out, the happier you'll be.

I have the 520 and it's a great bit of kit.

I bought it mostly to make the most out of the limited time I have to ride - I can plan my rides better around family commitments if I know the time and roughly how far I've got left to get home.

I'm already well aware of that, thanks. The sooner you work out that your first post to this thread was unnecessarily rude, the better off you'll be. Don't bother replying to me: I've just added you to my ignore list, like I should have done months ago.

I don't know how this one got out of 'the box'. Seems I'll have to nail the lid down a bit better in future.

I like gadgets therefore I like my 810 which was an upgrade from the old 500.

I like the mapping facility for adding routes in areas where I'm not so sure where I'm going and it's been on a few foreign trips too.

I don't like them.

Any reason why you don't like them?
