Your Garmin help, please

Like the HCx I have sitting around gathering dust...

Does anyone know what these two maps are on the Garmin Edge 1000?
Edge DEM Map EU 2014.10
Garmin Geocode Map EU 2015.10

DEM = Terrain elevations.
Geocode = Address searching.

Thanks for the reply.
I need something battery powered to have as a backup.
I don't really care about money, saving a few quid isn't the plan. Just want something rock solid.

Barometric altimeter seems useful for when hiking in the future.

Etrex 30 with something like the Eneloop pro rechargeable batteries are a good combination if you are going to use rechargeables.

So, I care not for elevations - I could lose that? I wonder if disabling either/both would speed it up a bit? Same as disabling or removing (if poss) the base map. Hmm

Thanks!

I disabled all.maps except for.my Europe ones on SD card.

I also disable everything except the route one.

Most software will correct elevations layer based on lat lon. And honestly, has Garmin find by address ever worked?

Yes. Well, postcode search works. Much better than OSM which doesn't have the data unless you do some additional trickery which I don't have time for.

FUU my garmin 1000 keeps freezing when I load a tcx course from RWGPS.

WTF garmin.

TCX? Why?

GPX ftw

Still freeze.

Fuck this shit. I need to go somewehre.

Ok now working. Fucking garmin. Glad I bought another garmin as a backup. Fucking garmins together.

Laters.

Bye hon

Get my etrex30x.

My nokia I had when I was 13 was faster with maps than this POS.

Why the fuck is there not a decent product on the market.

Apart from comfort, does anyone notice a difference between the old HRM1 and the newer monitors?

You could've saved yourself a bunch of cash and bought my HCx for the same shit slow usage. :P

It's like I bought a product from the 90's.
It's terrible.

Meant to be reliable though so when (not if) your 1000 packs it in, you might be counting your blessings.

For sure.
And then my phone for when the Etrex packs in.

I'm expecting my phone to die before the etrex and I'm taking two other Garmins - fuck it, what's another 200g. Actually that was one thing I was going to look into more - a waterproof/shockproof phone. You have one don't you? But it's been shit or something. The new Samsung is waterproof apparently. I just don't want to ruin my current phone because I need it for work and stuff.

Yeah the motorola was crap.
Samsung is meant to be good, or nokia.

I don't want to take a phone this year. But I will and just leave it at the bottom of my bag turned off, as it is useful in emergency for google maps services I need.

Ok, I've gone back a few pages and can't find a similar issue....
My Garmin has been crashing a lot in the last two rides. Yesterday it crashed, and when I turned it back on it crashed right away again. Noticed it was reading temperature as 33 degrees - the sun was shining but there's no way the ambient temp was much higher than 25. After putting the garmin in the shade for 15 minutes as I ate my sandwich and contemplated the nonsense that is not feeling your ride is complete unless Strava shows you all the stats, I started it up again and it was ok for the second half of the ride.
I'm gonna assume this is an overheating issue then. Is this a firmware thing?
