So garmin have announced some new machines due May time and I’ve been checking them out with a view to replacing my wahoo bolt. Has anybody been using one with the trail forks integration or routes imported from there in particular and can comment on whether they like it or not? Does anyone currently run a 520 find moving around the map annoying with the button config it has?

I found using trailforks on my phone is far easier, and have a garmin watch for GPS tracking duties (basically finding off piste stuff, so stop start anyway, getting phone out aint really a hassle), much more effective than buying a bike specific computer.

I use my watch for allsorts, biking, running, hillwalking, sleep and step tracking, whereas the bike computer was wheeled out a couple of times a week, and after trying the mapping on the 520, it was shit.
