So I've had the usual issues most people have observed (touchscreen sensitivity, altitude correction etc....) but tonight I had a complete crash..... Wouldn't turn back on despite many attempts so ended up doing a hard reset, which obviously lost current ride as well as all settings etc.
Such a disappointment - i was 7 miles into a regular ride, going for it, and around 40 seconds up on PB. I wasn't navigating, just normal riding with a live segment active.
What is more disappointing though is the poor software quality (again) of the garmin, and now the fear this will happen again.
I had an edge 500 - no problems
I had an edge 800 - no problems, until lost!
I had an edge 1000 - awful battery life, and touch screen all over the place in the rain.
I sold edge 1000 and went to edge 810 - regularly turns itself off, in the end nearly every ride (all the way up to 5.1 S/W).
Now the edge 820.....
Why is it so hard for Garmin to get this right? I have many many other electronic devices (phones, TVs, games consoles, tablets etc etc, none of which randomly turn off and then require a hard reset losing all data just to get them to turn on!!!
Are the garmin software team proud of their product?? The hardware and features are awesome, but let down by the software :(
