Nick Posted September 22, 2014 Share Morning Hubbers I've published the press release from Garmin Southern Africa announcing the Edge 1000. Click here to view the article. Unfortunately, in the process of linking this earlier forum topic to the comments of the article, I accidentally overwrote RMmtb8r's original post. Please accept my apologies for this RMmtb8r. Feel free to edit the original post in your own words again, RMmtb8r. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crashtestdummy Posted September 22, 2014 Share Been lucky enough to have been testing a 1000 for about a month now, very cool bit of kit but not something I'd take out on a MTB ride. The screen is significantly better than the 810 (sensitivity and colour) the wifi is very nice to have too. My only problem so far is that I can't set up different bike profiles - hopefully something that will be sorted out with some software upgrade. No I don't work for them !

Velouria Posted September 22, 2014 Share Been lucky enough to have been testing a 1000 for about a month now, very cool bit of kit but not something I'd take out on a MTB ride. The screen is significantly better than the 810 (sensitivity and colour) the wifi is very nice to have too. My only problem so far is that I can't set up different bike profiles - hopefully something that will be sorted out with some software upgrade. No I don't work for them !Just like CTD, I also have one - and it truly is amazing. I went from an Edge 500, to the 810, which was quite amazing, and now the Edge 1000. The difference is just as pronounced. The touch screen is amazing - works in the rain and with gloves on. The access to info is impressive, and setup is so much easier. A nice touch is getting notifications from your phone on the device. As usual, the actual GPS stuff is top notch, and the new pickupless speed and cadence sensors are quite nice, and make transfer between bikes quite simple. Concerning the bike profiles, this is what Garmin has to say:Added activity profile totals, which includes total distance, time, calories, and number of rides. If you miss the bike profile odometer feature, you can track totals by creating activity profiles for each bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
