Upgraded from 10yo Edge 810
on May 27, 2022
Posted by: DnChCl
Frankly I was happy with the 810, really only issue with that one was touch screen when wet. So this time went for the 530 with buttons. Taking a little bit to get accustomed to using but the capabilities are over the top.
Everything is quicker and so far battery life is OK, haven’t done anything more than 4ish hours so far. I had the original Varia and loved it. So since Garmin made a new version with video so I must need it. My only issue there is I wish I could control the video from the 530, maybe I can haven’t figured it out yet!
I’ve always been pleased with Garmin equipment good quality and reliable.

Not what I hoped for, I think
on May 27, 2022
Posted by: Don.C
The Apple Maps on my iPhone show the Calgary maps, but the contrast is far too low to see while riding. I know the streets, but not the pathways. I had no idea when I bought it that the Edge 530 required my phone in order to work. The illustrations show a map on the device, but I am not able to get one to show. I'm struggling with it, and am not optimistic.

Nice Unit

Everything works fantastic but one small glitch. When following map guides, the map/direction changes a little slow. This guidances could be faster to help when riding at a faster pace.

Great for road workouts
on May 29, 2022
Posted by: Brian12
I have had the 530 for about a month and love my road rides so much more. Being fairly new to riding (competitive riding) the 530 has helped me figure out my strengths and weaknesses. Can’t wait to see my improvement over the next several months.

I bought and tried to set it up. I can’t seem to download the Singapre maps. The entire interface leads to dead ends. Please avoid Garmin
