Garmin for Stage Races


Speeltyd

Recommended Posts

I'm doing more stage races, and believe that for some races/rides you will be given the route on devices.

I am about to replace my Garmin Edge 500 - will the Edge 810 give me all the capabilities I may need? Any other product?

A 510 will have more than enough capability for stage races - remember the organisers don't populate all the features that could be used - like turn points etc - they only provide a fairly simple course to follow, so an 810 or 1000 is probably overkill for the race - but if you like the other features they have, then they will be fine to use too.

If I could justify replacing my Garmin, I would get a Fenix 3. It's more multisport-geared than the Edge though, so if you're only into cycling then Edge have bigger screen.

Is there a device that allows me to upload to trainingpeaks or Garmin Connect etc without having to switch on a laptop, plug in a us cable and open a website?

 

I mean uploading directly from the device to any website?

The 510 uploads via my cellphone with the garmin connect app to the website. I'm sure the 810 and 1000 can also do this. It is simple and seamless. The only drawback is that you forget to charge the device as you don't plug it in as regularly as a device that requires a usb cord to upload.
