Hi all,
Finally bought myself a Garmin Edge 510, and really impressed with it. Loads of information at hand and even more to analyze on the PC. I'm sure the 510 will open new avenues in my cycling, both on and off road.
I'm getting to know how to work its many features, but Garmin Connect might take a little more time!!
I'll probably be back to you guys for more tips in the near future, but if anyone out there might be able to help with a couple of immediate issues I'd really appreciate it.
First: I have configured my 510 to read in metric, but when I hook it up to Garmin Connect the information about my rides is shown in miles and feet etc. Are any of you wise people able to tell me how I might be able to change this to metric too? Thanks.
Second: I'm not currently using the 510 through my phone to send information to Connect as, at the moment, I only have a very limited data package on my contract. However, I would like to be able to upload some of my riding data to Facebook on occasions. When I have the 510 synced to Connect, and my ride data on screen, there is a tab entitled "share" but it is not highlighted, so won't allow me to send data to Facebook. Any ideas on how this is done please people?
Thanks for any help you guys might be able to give this rather technophobic cyclist, and of course........ Happy New Year!
