Mongoose! Posted December 12, 2016 Share Thinking of getting one of these cheap GPS devices.Some key functions (Just to mention a few) : Ant plusBluetooth 4.020 hour battery life700 hours riding capacityScreen size 2.2 inch ( unit 85mm x 54mm x 22mm ) 80gramPowermeter functions (Ant + / Bluetooth)Compatible with StravaFits on a Garmin mount… Price $100At a 5th of the price of a Garmin 520 or 820 – so it will be unreasonable to compare it - although it has many similar functions…Not sure if it has “mapping / direction functions on the GPS – But as Roadie I never using these functions.Strava live segments is an overkill for me…, as Stava Premium subscriptions are steep. A while back I ordered a 7” navigation system (GPS) for my car (also from China) and still is super impressed. Maps are up to date and free access to update maps in future…) – was less than R1K landed in RSA Anyone already using one? Edited December 12, 2016 by Mongoose!

cpelser Posted December 12, 2016 Share I suggest picking up a Sigma Rox10.0 from the classifieds somewhere. It's got all the functions that something like a Garmin 520 etc has (No touch screen though) and I just love mine. I know of at least two guys selling theirs as it's not compatible with Discovery Vitality or Momentum Multiply yet.Likely R2k odd for an awesome GPS computer.

Tatt Posted December 14, 2016 Share Will second the Rox 10. On my second one as I managed to lose mine on the Argus MTB... Service from the agents (Omni could I think) has been superb! Tom Mongoose! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HdB Posted December 15, 2016 Share I think the new Brytons (530 and 330) have pretty much all the features of this IGS60? Plus better battery life. And via the app that links to the meter, it is supposed to have Strava syncing, route planning. Personally, I think the problem with the cheaper ones, including Bryton, is the software - the hardware is usually decent (my Bryton Rider 20 still works perfectly after four years) and for a very good price too.But their websites are often iffy to downright crap, and for example Bryton's new app is still a work in progress, with some features from the old app (specifically notifications) not yet available.And of course things like not being worthy of the almighty Vitality points Mongoose! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil6 Posted December 15, 2016 Share I use the Edge 25. At R2500 it is a brilliant little device. So small but all you need from a GPS. Mongoose! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
