Best setup for 530

Just got the 530 and was wondering what options would be best to avoid or enable. I have been doing rides with my fr955+hrm pro+cadence sensor and old oregeon300 for maps till now but wanted to be able to see where I am and was wondering if it was worth setting all sensors to the 530 or just use it as a map.

I don't think this is an answerable question since there are probably 100 options on the device. Probably best if you asked about specific ones that interest you.

I wouldn't say there is anything on it to "avoid" using, unless there is known major bug on a particular feature, but there have been so many firmware updates by now (currently v9.50) that those shouldn't be common by now. Definitely update the firmware if you haven't already.

Personally I rarely use it for nav because I'm always in a known area. I use it as a cycling data logger for the rides, heartrate, power, performance metrics, etc.

The “best setup” is the one that works best for you and the only way to find out is to experiment. I’d suggest creating a short test route and riding it with various different settings.

However, I would recommend turning off route recalculation when following a course due to its unpredictable results.
