<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">I recently bought one of these, but had to send it back because it absolutely refused to pair via bluetooth with my phone and laptop. Other than that, it was impressive. I added OpenFietsMap maps to the existing Garmin one without much difficulty. It's a nice size, navigation worked well, and the display was bright and clear. However, I subsequently discovered that whilst you can send routes from PC/phone to the unit, you can't navigate on the move to personal favourites/waypoints you may have saved. For that you need the Edge 830, which is quite a bit more expensive. I'll probably get one, but I'm not so keen on touchscreen for these devices (prefer the tactile feel of buttons).</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Hope this helps.<br></div><div><br></div>
