I tried once and did not like it. It has to many features and is to complicated. I want something like my Montana 610 only smaller for my MTB bike. It did not show as many trails as my iPhone did and the brightness keep going in and out which made it hard to see. I will be returning this.

Hi Frank, we realize you may have already returned the device, but in case you still have the device and for other customers also, we would encourage you to go to our support page for assistance with the device and also for a way to connect with our team for more assistance. Thank you for posting a review.
I’ve just started using this device as I hated using my iPhone on the bike, it seemed to always pop or break off causing either a cracked iPhone screen or broken holder. Plus I hated that when I dropped sweat off my forehead it would cause the program to pause. So I replaced it with this 530, as the 830 would have caused me grief with the touchscreen (like my iPhone). I just wish it was voice activated. I did like that it notified me of an incoming call. Hooking it up was easy. It seems to be spot on and I’m liking the warnings that pop up telling me about turns (I already know about). Would be cool if the garmin app would suggest routes, maybe it does and I haven’t found that yet. Would be cool if it would connect with my music so I can push next!!
I’m new to this type of device and I’m still trying to figure out all it can do. So far it’s pretty amazing - being able to map routes (on Google maps) and load them for the ride. I’m sure there’s much more -
I've only used the device twice but do far it offers everything that I need when cycling, duration distance, time, speed ect. It's a bit pricey but I will see in the long run if it's worth it. I will check back in soon.
Absolutely kills the data game! Finding out I can see my altitude adjustment, log ride nutrition/hydration, add Strava Live Segments, and keep myself on course is awesome! Crazy I can also see respiration rate and sweat loss. THE ultimate data machine. If you don't care about touchscreen on a cycling computer, this is hands down the winner. No reason to get an 830 or 1030.
