LeoKnight Posted April 25, 2017 Share 820 has the ability to take a memory card and you can load A LOT more maps. Bigger screen as well which if you navigating would come in handy I guess. I have never used the 820 so can't comment too much. It was out of my price range when I got the 520 anyway so these features are just what I picked up on after getting my 520. Also the one thing about the 820, if you go off course, it will reroute you back to where you were going, where the 520 will just indicate you have gone off course and the general direction you need to go to get back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzie NL Posted April 25, 2017 Share And replace it with their own inaccurate altitude calculations Have you picked up big differences? I just checked a couple of rides and there is no more than 10 - 15 m difference in elevation between what's on Garmin Connect and Strava. On a total of 1200 - 1700 that seems a very acceptable margin of error? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I understand is that Strava does not take into account that road surfaces might be on different levels than the ground service. So riding over a bridge will be recorded as riding down a valley und up the otherside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garry64 Posted April 25, 2017 Share 820 users....can anyone confirm if the lag on the touch screen have been sorted?Not sure what you mean by lag. I'm using the 820 for the past 7 months and has never experienced any lag. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had mine a few weeks now and I can't say I notice any major lag. It might be a fraction slower than my old 810 but nothing more than a split second once your finger has left the screen. The screen is different to previous units as it seems to be less sensitive but Garmin are addressing this issue and there is not a setting to adjust the sensitivity. I am very impressed with the number and frequency of updates, as I must have received about 6 in 4 weeks. Edit: The touch screen seems to react to the pressure of your finger on the screen more than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry64 Posted April 26, 2017 Share "there is not a setting to adjust the sensitivity." Under the settings/display menu is setting for touch screen sensitivity and it can be selected between low/medium and high Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udxcob Posted April 26, 2017 Share The funny thing is Whatsapp notifications works 100% with all the forerunner watches as well as the Fenix. For some reason they have not rolled it out to the Edge...It's on the 820 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
