First proper ride with the lovely free test bike GPS. A few thoughts while I remember:
The mount is brilliant! Sturdy, no vibration or rattles - just works ACE!
Buttons still easy to press with thick gloves on.
The course follow function works very well. The route zooms in and out as you speed up. The route resolution is so good you can see which side of the road you were on in either direction. The unit does a bleep for off course and another different bleep when you get back on it. The GPS accuracy is shown as a ring arround your position arrow. It would be no trouble to follow an unknown route - as long as the route was accurate enough. It indicates how long you have left based on your current average speed, and a bar across the top indicates what percentage of the route you've completed so far.
Head to head with Martin's Edge 500 the screen seems the same size and resolution. However the Edge 200 doesn't accept Heart Rate, Cadance or Power readings that the Edge 500 will accept. For the £30 extra...?
