Good service from Garmin

[Riding in Africa]

Well at last it happened!!!!

 

my Edge 305 started to give problems with just switching off mid ride or after a hard hit and not charging? I know the stories with this model, but it has given 3 1/2 good years service.

 

Any way i was in Honeydew driving past their new offices so i thought why not go in and see if any thing can be done.

"Sorry sir we can not repair!!!!!! BUT we can up grade you to a Edge 500 for R980 or the Edge 705 for R2500"

 

What a bargin, roared home collected the 305 and traded it in on a new Edge 500 whole thing took 20mins to do.

 

Now that is what i call service!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no jumping up and down and having to raise my voice.

 

Very impressed with the new Edge 500 so much better than the 305 more information on the 3 pages of screens.

Only bad thing is that it now tells me how long i stand around talking *** during a ride!!!!

 

 

Big thumbs up to GARMIN

I have the 705 and my wife the 500. For MTB I still prefer the 705 for maps and finding your way home. If you only need a cycling computer, then the 500 is great. Good on Garmin!

I should tell you about my Garmin experience...

WOW ... Did they upgrade without even checking the unit.?

My 305 is still going strong, but good to know.!

 

I must say, my experiences with Avnic (Garmin distributor) has generally been positive.
