petatodd Posted May 27, 2012 Share The updates seem really simple. Log on to Garmin mydashboard, plug in your 500, click on update, follow the instructions. Couldn't be simpler IMHO. Nothing can go wrong go wrong go wrong go g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikekid Posted May 27, 2012 Share Download Garmin Web updater - http://www8.garmin.com/products/webupdater/ Lets you update your Garmin devices straight from your desktop without going to the website and finding the correct product page etc, far easier. It works for my Edge and Nuvi. Haven't tried it with my Forerunner yet though... The Ghost 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weight Weenie Posted May 27, 2012 Share 2 extra pages of data. Woot ! Was just thinking that it would be cool to have more pages so they can be setup for laps and interval work. Wish answered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awesme Posted May 27, 2012 Share Wondering if there is any reason I should update my unit, Mine is running fine atm, never touch the screen once I start riding (so the 2 additional screens is of no use), and don't have a power meter either.
