• Appreciate there are some major differences (touchscreen, size etc) but otherwise I'd have thought they fulfil the same uses - i.e. logging rides and tracking metrics, GPS routing... There's certainly a lot of overlap in features

  • Similar. I think touch screen/buttons is a huge difference.

    I have happily gone back to buttons. Touch screens just do not work in the wet, and go downright mental. While the price difference is tempting to go for a 1030, I just got a 530 and would not now want a 1030.

    I am not sure what a 1030 does a 530 does not, I'd need to check a comparison.

  • I think 1030 has more / better routing functions, which to be fair would sometimes be very useful but not on all rides.

    Would also prefer non-touchscreen but having not had a touchscreen before, I don't yet know how strong that preference is!

    The 830 seems like the sweet spot between them as it has more functions than the 530 for route planning etc, sadly still touch

  • I just turn the screen lock on. If I have to reroute I'm probably gonna be lost and stopped anyway so I can wipe it off.
