I've been mulling over a ELEMNT compared to an 820. 820 haz been released and I'm not sure of the following:
- smaller size: I love the form factor of the 520, because it reflects the simplicity of that device. Detailed routing on that... nah.
- touch screen: as above, I love the 520's 'sod that' approach to touch, and it works better for it. Touching a screen that small... nah.
The only thing that's stopping me buying the ELEMNT: colour. I love everything else about it philosophically but I know that when I'm routing I need the colour to pick out A/B/C roads from waterways and train lines. So nope.

If anyone is looking at moving from a 520 to an 820 then DM me. My solution: keep the old 800 on the tourer and get that 520 on my racing bike quick!

The only thing I'm concern about the ELEMNT is the battery life which seemed quite short compared to the Garmin.

I welcome the screen as long it make it a lots more readable in daylight compare to the Garmin, meaning I can turn off the backlight.

With TCX turn by turn nav enabled it does around 10-11 hours, was my experience.
