Hi,
I have a Garmin Edge 200 GPS which is great but basic and I am looking at upgrading to something that can show maps.
The Garmin 520 is 90% of what I want but has limited, non-expandable storage which means that I would have to upload new maps every time I am riding in a new area. I have been waiting for Garmin to release a new Edge 8xx but the events where they would announce this (CES and Sea Otter) have come and gone with no news.
I have recently been given an iPhone 6 by work and am wondering if using that might be an option? I would like to know which apps and mount kits other people use and what the strengths/weaknesses are.
I am a bit concerned that I could lose coverage on some of the remoter rides – are the any cycling apps that can use off line maps?
Also is battery life a problem? – some of my rides can be 12+ hours in duration.
Thanks 🙂
