ex-vat though.. about R2033 otherwise (ex shipping - DHL, R311.33 )

I paid R3,600 for my Edge 500 with the HR & speed/cadence sensor bundle from EasyGIS when they first came out at the beginning of this year. It was totally worth getting it then.

So, who has done the upgrade? Any noticeable changes/differences?

[Weight Weenie]

I have but only done one ride with it, but seeing as I had no issues I guess I wont notice any changes

I can however say that it works fine and doesnt reset your data fields

R2800 from easygis, then you do not have to stuggle with the import duties etc

[Zeps]

I did the upgrade last night and rode with it this morning, no problems.

 

I have had the 'stops processing course' issue but no plan to do that soon ..... some time I will!

no duties payable as long as it is not read as garment

Sorry for the semi-hijack..

 

Technical question: Does the Edge 500 have the function where it gives the gradient of climbing (in percentage)like with the Edge 305?

 

..Semi-HJ off.

[Tankman]

yes it does give you gradient % Flowspeed.

 

Ok, Ill let the rest of you use if for a couple of weeks before I do the upgrade. I am never to keen on Garmins upgrades especially when every thing is working just fine! Let me know if you discover any new issues after the upgrade

[Zeps]

IMHO very few people will have had the problems noted .... for them it's just a more convenient bike computer (i.e. no magnets and stuffs)
