• I'm not overly bothered about anything but the navigation either.
    My only Garmin experience was with a 705 years ago, and not once did that thing manage to follow a pre-loaded gpx route correctly. Eventually I gave up on it after it changed its purple line to where IT wanted to go instead too many times. :)

    I'm hoping they're far more reliable these days, but just can't seem to narrow the choices down to one that ticks all the boxes. I like the size of the 520, but it's supposedly not the best for navigation. The 1000 is supposed to be great for navigation, but seems shit on battery life etc

  • FWIW I use the 520 for navigation. It's not super detailed maps but if you use the right settings you can get 13 hours battery life navigating. Used to be quite buggy but fairly regular software updates now. Strava-created routes work better than Garmin ones.
