After looking into a second hand Edge 800, and reading this thread, I'm now considering an etrex 20x. Would be good to hear from someone who knows it, my intended uses are:
– Audax: planning routes and uploading to device, then following turn by turn
– Audax: recording the ride and generating gpx for validation of diys
– Touring: being aware of the surroundings of where I'm passing through
– Touring: being able to plan a route for the day on the go
– When things go wrong: finding the nearest town, station, cycle shop, pub, whatever
Cadence, wattage, heart rate absolutely wasted on me. That said, I like having a sense of my average speed but I assume the etrex has this, at least? Lastly, I have an external USB battery pack that I can use in long rides, can someone confirm this is possible or if I can only run it with AA batteries?
