I'm looking for a GPS mapping cycle computer. After the threads on here an Edge 800/810 seemed the obvious choice. Don't really need, but want speed/cadence on roadbike and HRM. I've already got a Wahoo HRM that does both bluetooth and ANT+
But then I find I can get with a bit of shopping around, an Edge 1000 for a bit more than the 800. I like the idea of some of the route finding features and round trips.
Which is now also Mio 505 type money. Hmm.Or even Mio 315 without the wireless stuff but as it comes with HRM and cadence so comparable with a Touring Plus at that price
I use for running with a Forerunner 15 and use Garmin Connect. So staying with Garmin would seem an easy choice, but there seems to be a lot of complaining on the Garmin forums about both the 810 and 1000 which is a bit off putting. The Nuvi in the car can be a bit crap at times as well.
From reviews the route finding and mapping on the Mio also appears more solid so quite tempting but does anyone have any experience with one vs. a Garmin?
