  • it will take 2-3 goes to actually get all the files to 'take' and appear in the Courses list.

    Oh god this is so annoying, I end up doing them one at a time to avoid having to keep checking which ones are missing!

  • I copy the batch, unplug and count through them, then plug it in again and copy the missing ones. Takes two or three goes with, say 9-10 files total. Annoying but not as annoying as getting to the 300k mark of a 600k audax and finding file #5 isn't on your device...

    Been there done that

  • What usually defeats me are map files.

    If I create too large a file it sometimes does not work, and if I create smaller files then I span multiple SD cards.

    If I fail to change SD cards when crossing country borders or something, I can suddenly find myself on the international base map staring at an open space of nothingness and an arrow floating through it on a line that is the route.

    Parts are so damn cheap nowadays and power performance so good that there's no excuse for not having a decent amount of onboard memory.

    Argh, someone should just make a new device already: Bluetooth Smart + GPS + GLONASS + ePaper screen + turn-by-turn navigation + raw tracking and logging of ANT+ and Bluetooth Smart sensors + takes standard batteries.
