• I've been deliberating what to go for. I see loads of people still using the etrex, but the fact you can't charge them from a dynamo if you don't want to use AA's is a bit off putting. But then I keep reading in reviews of newer Garmins that the battery life is only around 5-6 hours if you're using navigation mode, which is the main function I want. So I'm guessing it would mean having them on near constant charge?

  • My current setup is 1000, phone backup, etrex 30x backup.

    800 is not reliable enough with long routes. 810 is a fucking joke, 1000 is the most usable and most stable but has shitter battery life. etrex is good backup unit as it will run off AA batts if your dyno fucks out.
