Hey all,
I am a new owner of garmin 530.
Updated to 5.50, configured it (which took some hours and was a bit confusing process) but now it is up and running.
First feedback:
Regarding sensors disconnecting and not connecting I experienced that problem in a long ride where I paused the activity to have lunch (about 1h). I have sleep disabled and my sensors are Decathlon Bluetooth/Ant HR strap and Stages Gen 3 Powermeter (bluetooth/ant)
Other thing that happened is that during lunch time and activity paused a good battery % was used, like 20%!
Buttons: I guess Garmin could allow all buttons to remove notifications...1 because there are notifications for everything, even if you disable them and 2 because the button to delete them is far away and you can be short. The same for clicking on the power down menu...you click de red button, why can't you do down to power down and then click again on red button? the buttons would be on the same side.
Doubts:
Off route calculation:
So annoying, I have recalcultation off (which on my understanding should avoid that), but when I am offroute it re-calculates again, any way of of disabling this? sometimes it is so fast that you don't see and then do some meters just to do U Turn.
Upload routes via wifi
My edge is connect to wifi at the house but it doesn't send automatically the activities, even it it is activated.
Other than that I am satisfied, I came from an Etrex 30x and it was a love and hate relationship..with more hate than lote, I guess this one will be more love. Good battery life, fast, small
