Hi Community
I create routes in Strava, export as GPX and load manually into Edge 820. This works fine for routes up to about 100 km, but not for larger ones:
- I wait until the route is computed, but the Edge starts computing again after the start.
- Sometimes it computes for half an hour while cycling. When it reaches 98% it starts all over at 0%.
- While it computes it doesn't indicate directions.
- However, it alerts about deviations from the route, but without showing new directions.
- Sometimes this happens during the whole route which makes the navigation function completely useless.
- Sometimes it starts showing directions 20 km prior to the end of the course.
- Recording always works, as does displaying parameters.
- All maps are the default ones, all software and map updates done.
Questions:
- Do I do something wrong?
- Is this normal behavior for routes > 100 km and Edge 820?
- Do I have to buy an Edge 830?
- Does anybody have experience with Edge 830 and larger routes?
Thanks for any hint. Mar5us.
