climb pro on free rides?

dear all

I'm new to the forum but long time Edge user

right now my 520 lost battery capacity

I'm looking for a new device, I'm thinking about the 530 or 540

a feature I will appreciate is the Climb Pro

latest software of the 530 will enable Climb Pro even on free rides like the 540 or you must use a programmed route to enjoy Climb Pro metrics?

I like to climb a lot, I live nearby famous Ghisallo

thank you so much for any answer

I looked at change log pages but it is not up to date.

have a nice day

    On the 530 Climb-Pro only works if you are following a course.  We are very likely on the last ever firmware release for the 530.  (I hope so, because it is stable and works well, no reason to muck it up.)  If you want Climb-Pro for free-rides, then you'll need to move up to the x40 series.

    My 530 is still fine for myself, but if/when I move up I'd be looking at the 840 so you get both touch-screen and buttons.  Best of both worlds.  Moving around on the map with just the 530 buttons can be a bit tedious.
