Schnavel Posted October 2, 2013 Share Edge 500 is a brilliant device. The additional features on the 510 aren't worth the extra cash rouxtjie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cippo Posted October 2, 2013 Share Edge 510 is similiar in size to 800. Only nice feature on there is the tracking which still needs a smartphone to pair with while riding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudi Pollard Posted October 2, 2013 Share While we are on the topic of GPS devices, which would you guys recommend for the self navigated events like Dusi2C and Joburg2C 2014? Can you get the navigation on the 510 or do you need to go for the 800/810 to get that functionality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambithunt Posted October 2, 2013 Share I've been using the edge 500 for about a month now, the Red premium bundle abs I can only say good things about it. It's accurate, easy to use, descent battery, all the stats and it's super light. Perfect for me and I'm sure it'll be great for your wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedster Scott Posted October 2, 2013 Share Look im using the edge 510, had the same issues a month ago. I paid the extra money and got the 510, same features, but the additonal features are brilliant imo. Like real time uploading of data i.e. once you complete a ride or spin using your smartphone you can immediately upload your information onto your profiel and can view all inforamtion immediately. The tracking of a buddy is also cool and the virtual partner, a long with bigger screen , which is easier to view whilst riding and changing from a trraining ride to race ride profie. So basically they the same but 510 additonal items are top notch imo, if you like information fast like me Jigghead 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am doing 70.3 next year and full ironman in 2015 and would be quite nice if my wife can track me on the bike ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
