Garmin 520 vs 820

[BennyC]

Looks like it might be an 'end of line' jobby so store stock only.

Anyone seen the 810 bundle at a decent price? I fancy changing from using my iPhone 6S+.

Amazon have a bundle for £265 which is the best I've seen. (trying to decide on a gps computer atm).

 

[ChrisD.]

Good price, I take it that it works with Strava?

 

[Irish_Tom]

Yeah, the 810 does live segments if you have Strava Pro as well.

 

[ChrisD.]

I don't know what live segments are.

I'm reading a lot of reviews on Amazon that say it freezes quite often, bit weary of that.

Recently bought a Garmin 820 explore.
Not impressed with its reliability tbh as it tends to freeze on the courses I put in. I'm finding the bigger the route the more likely it is to freeze the system up and it only records part of the ride ..very annoying as I regularly do 100 milers +
No probs with my mini Garmin Edge 25 which has been brilliant but obviously lacks a decent navigation feature.
Will try a factory reset again and reinstall the map to retest at the weekend.

I need to send one of my 520s back as the screen is broken, I might see if they'll do me a deal on the 820.

i've just had to RMA my garmin activity band, their CS are pretty backlogged right now and it's been a pretty drawn out experience. but to be fair within 24 hours of receiving it they've shipped out a replacement.

e: and they've shipped the replacement to the address I asked them not to use. ha.
