Still getting to know it

Upgrading from an edge 500 only because it was starting not to show up on my computer when uploading rides. Still figuring it out. Probably more features then I know what to do with. The automatic uploads is nice.
i got it as an early christmas present, and i’m so happy that i got it. But, i have a question, i’m still trying to figure out how to put my zones on the garmin, so i can see them when i am riding
I’ve owned my Garmen Edge 530 bundle for a week now. It is an easy setup and self guided. I live in Palm Springs California and the screen is easy to see in direct sun. Battery outlasts every other electronic I own. There are tons of features that came as a surprise. For instance, it tells me how long I should recover after exercise and it charts your progress in many ways. I highly recommend it.
I have been using my edge since September and I sometimes have trouble understanding the direction and GPS. The interface design needs to be updated and the GPS is not really accurate and smooth as I would like to see but it is doable. However the app, Garmin connect, It is the best!
My brand new and fully charged Edge 530 froze up after only 3.4 miles on my first ride...I could not get the screen to clear...tried the remote and all buttons...even tried to turn it off...nothing...the screen stayed frozen for the rest of my ride...definitely not what I was hoping for or expected...when I got home and Googled it I found it is fairly common...had to hold down the power button for 10 seconds and it finally powered off...I guess I will see what happens next weekend if the trails are still dry...never had this issue with my Forerunner...hope it's a one time thing and not common.
I bought this about a month ago and love it on one of the ride Strava never turn on in the phone so I lost the ride now with Garmin that will not happen it will always be there I have one problem there is not a manual that comes with it so you have to play with to understand it and also on how to set it up how do you get a manual for that it was a great investment and it is awesome
