I plugged in to my PC to upload a route last week, and I inadvertently had the unit updated.
Before the update I got a clear indication about 30 seconds before any turn. About 5 seconds before the turn, I got an indication that was even more clear about the turn. Great!
Since the update, I seem to get an indication of the turn about 30 seconds before which is completely inaudible in any sort of wind. Then I get a realy clear indication about 5 seconds beforehand, but it's often too late, and if something else is going on in the road, I have to prioritise the road situation.
Long story short, I missed a lot of turns on Saturday. That was very annoying for me, and I'd like to blame Garmin.
Seriously, though, isn't there a way to choose your own notification "bleeps" when navigating?
RideWithGPS premium allows you to make routes with the alerts at different distances from turns. I find the Edge 1000 just forgets about a lot of, how do I put this, FUCKING OBVIOUS TURNS! and if I wasn't constantly eyeballing the stupid device I'd be even more lost...
Anyone else got an Edge 1000?
