bought a new battery for my Garmin 800, installed it but it turns out worse than the old one, won't last for 12 hours. So instead of taking a battery pack with me on every long ride I have decided to buy a new device. question is which one.
currently looking at the Garmin 520 plus and 820 explore, as I don't need watts, heart rate, training programs or accurate speed display, not even phone or wifi connectivity, I just want to use it as a device for loading rides into, navigation and registration.
any thoughts amongst experts here about the differences between these two, or a good suggestion for something completely different (as I have a hate/love relationship with Garmin (hate the software, mostly))? much appreciated!
