cheap alternative to Garmin?

As OneCogDown mentions make sure Bluetooth is on and then sync. Once synced you should be able to download your route.

Just purchased a Sigma Rox. I went for the 11.1 version so I have the option to link it to sensors but I could have saved a fair amount and gone for one of the lower versions (GPS and internal sensors only).

Not used much yet but mounting and setting-up I'm impressed (please with purchase).

I primarily use a Garmin but I do miss a small old fashioned "computer" (speed distance) but on a tadpole bent, mounting those such that they align to get a sensor wireless coverage has proven impossible so went for a similar (to basic bike computer, small) but with GPS.

Also, on tour it does provide limited turn by turn directions. Not tried it yet and it's not mapping based but either in Sigma's own online systems (or through their phone app) or using 3rd party import create and load a route and it will warn you of upcoming turns, just not on a map. Good to have some backup on tour as on France one day I found my Garmin would not take one route properly but showed the trail on it's map but stopped giving and sensible directions (eg "next turn 3769 miles"). Plus I've been careful (and very lucks) occasionally in a supermarket and waiting at the till I realise I've left the Garmin on the bike!

So I now have the Bryton rider 750se and have synced it with the Active Bryton app. On the Bryton app under My Route I open one of the routes, click the three dots on the top right and then click "download to device"......but it does not download nor show on the rider 750se
I hope this does not sound confusing, but what am I doing wrong?, how do I load a route file successfully so that I can follow out cycling

The problem has been solved by.....I sent a video message to Bryton and they pointed out that the problem was how I had saved/named my routes..in other don't use long names or emojiis....I thought I would share with you if anyone encounters the same problem

Hopefully its a one off but this was just posted on the Garmin Farceboke Forum:

Of course range and detection does depend on the radar unit being mounted properly with nothing obscuring its view.
