A touchscreen is available on the 830, but not on the 530. An address can be typed in and routed to it with the 830. On the 530, this option is not available.
Before purchasing a Garmin, I would verify that it covers the majority of countries.
That's right, I bought one with a screen protector and a case on this site. If you are looking for a silicone case, Amazon is the best place to buy it.
In respect to "this", I'm unsure exactly what you mean, but if you're asking whether or not the Garmin will sync with Garmin Connect (app), then yes, it will. Also yes, if you want to know if it will track your rides, notify you during your ride, and sync with Strava, etc. Your phone syncs it automatically once you pair it with it via Bluetooth. I love it!

The box has the information listed on it. As a result, this bundle did not include a case, and when I contacted the seller (it took two days for them to reply to me), they stated that their bundle does not include There is no case included in the Garmin box as it specifically states that it is From what I can tell, the seller obtained the bundle from Garmin, opened the box and removed the case, perhaps for separate sale. There is no difference in price between the price on Garmin's site and mine so I am not missing a $20 case. There is no reason to trust this seller.
There are three annoying issues with my 530, which may be due to my faulty unit. My 530 shuts down and resets during a ride, so I have to stop riding for the reset, and then start a new ride on it. It doesn't affect the data, but means I have to stop and wait for it to complete. I sometimes have problems with my device not resetting, but only capturing part of my ride. Several times when I have ridden the computer, the data file has been corrupted and I have had to repair it manually. I have only used the mtb bundle for trail riding. I have the wide wheel bike bundle. In addition to the 530, I now run Strava on my phone as well. It hasn't caused me any problems, so at least I have a backup of my ride.
I wish I had returned this while it was still under the return policy of Amazon. The lemon is mine, so I'm stuck with it. Having the extra weight on my handlebars wouldn't even be worth the effort.
For those who want to keep track of speed and distance, or to try out new trails, it's a top pick. A good screen, superior battery life, and easy to use make this a great choice. Getting this was because I wanted to check out new trail systems and take loop paths without losing my way or having to whip out my phone frequently. Despite the navigation feature, I sometimes have to focus on the map rather than the turn by turn directions. It isn't always clear where to go or how to get to where you want to go so I hope they update this. It is common for me to ignore the turn by turn because the map path indicates one path, yet the turn by turn is telling me to turn. It can also be confusing when it gives you a message. It says U- when it says In turn, you need to pay attention to whether the distance is going up or down. It may not be that you're going in the wrong direction, it may just be that you've not reached the end It would be nice if the navigation were more zoomed in when I was close to a fork, and I could easily see the path so I don't have to keep my eye on it to make sure I'm going the right way. Even though it seems like I hate this GPS, I use it every day and most of the time I am not using it. The purpose is more to keep track of statistics You can have a good time doing that. Was it worth the money I spent on it? I also agree that the model would not go up to 830 or down to 130 without turning by turning first. At a decent price, I think this is the most valid model out of the bunch.
This item did not appear to be brand This seller is never worth buying from.
I have never seen anything like this before. All you need to do is turn it on from the trail. The wide screen is easy to read in daylight and shows multiple riding dynamics and the maps are accurate and precise. All dynamics are displayed on the PC where I can save my.
Money is the best reason for me to I have never owned a bike GPS device before. The service is quite easy to use, particularly for the price. I have enjoyed the great battery life. And on the few trails that I have traveled, it has always gotten me back to my It is hard to imagine what more you could.
It has everything I need for my mountain bike riding. I looked at many products and it is the best value with the most features. There is no reason to regret it.
I am very impressed with the battery life! A very good display of stats that is easy to read. It's nice to be able to tailor workouts for either road or mountain biking. This is a highly recommended read.
