it does have to be said, Garmin are staggeringly bad at providing any help at all at getting going.
for example ( and as someone in the software design field, this staggers me) the user manual, that might tell you how to connect to a computer, download maps or whatever ; is only stored inside the Garmin unit itself.
No CD in the box. there was a quick start guide, but that just really tells you how to fit the cadence sensor and go for a ride.
So, to find the manual, you have to work out that you need to connect to a computer over USB, know that to do this you must do it with the garmin OFF then switch on once connected, then rummage through the rather technical looking internal folder structure on the unit and find the PDF, buried two levels down.
i mean, is that some kind of fucking joke?
