    No features update as the Edge 1030 gets some days before? I hope the Edge 520 Plus will get some features with a firmware update too:

    • Heat/Altitude Acclimation. Shows user's acclimation to different altitudes and hot/humid environments.
    • ClimbPro. See upcoming climbs while riding a course so you can prepare for needed effort.
    • Nutrition/Hydration tracking alerts

    These features will not be added to the Edge 520 Plus.

    Not happy with the answer from Garmin-Matthew. So much for our loyalty. I bought thi unit a few months ago and now it is an orphan.

    The device is just one year old and costs a lot over 200, but new Software will just not be implemented, regardless the device can handle it. I also regret buying it a lot....

    Not to start a debate here, but I think the 520+ is maxed out in terms of processing power.  I have noticed that mine is sluggish when reporting changes in power from the meter - much more delayed than previous head units reporting 3-second average power.  It's like the system is over-taxed, even when I'm not navigating using the device.  

    I had such high hopes for the 520+ after being a happy 520 owner (but wishing it had nationwide mapping).  It hasn't panned out for me.  And, after a quick look at the 530 I'm going to pass due to the rinky-dink buttons they used on this device.  :/
