[Closed] ‘Best’ GPS for MTB?

colourofsound · 2019-06-23T00:18:07Z

Birthdays coming up soon and I think it’s time to give my phone a rest and get a GPS. That and I could probably do with giving my mate with the garmin a rest from being the map guy! Something around the £250 mark - the new Edge 530 looks the business, but am aware there are other brands like Wahoo etc - thoughts? I’ll be loading GPXs in, using for Strava and making own rides with Komoot for the most part. So turn-by-turn is pretty much a must. Based near Chester and most riding done in Wales (If that makes a difference?!) Thanks in advance...

Its a 2013 Motorola MB525 Defy, small & waterproof.
Its got a removable battery if you wanted to carry a spare but I get over 12 hours from a charge when using as a GPS on all day rides.
It loads all GPS app data via Wifi & still usable for emergency calls without a Sim card inserted.
It does everything the Garmin does but cheaper, faster, smaller & doubles as a back up device if I ever need to call 999
