6 hours, crumbs, that’s poor. Last time I used my Touring I got 12 hours out of it: started at 94%, switched to battery saver mode at 34%, made it to the hotel with it still alive and showing zero.
The Wife's just bought an Edge 530, which looks like it will be going back as maps don't appear to work on it. She's raised a support call with Garmin and we're waiting a response.
I bought a Polar V650 and Open Street Maps just worked out the box, selected an area, hit download and it just downloaded them and that was that. Garmin seems to have better functionality but doesn't seem to want to work properly...
I meant "Explore" above, not "Touring". Doh.
Seeing as the thread has been bumped already...
I did a ride on Sunday, downloaded the route from RWGPS. 2.5 miles into it, it crashed so I restarted it (twice, the first time you restart it'll sit there looking for satellites all week so it always needs 2 restarts).
Reloaded the route and it navigated me around it, showed me the route, totalled up all the mileage, altitude etc with no issues. Got to the finish, stopped it and it offers you the Save / Discard screen options so I hit Save and the unit froze solid. Needed a full reset which then lost me the entire ride.
Utter garbage. How a unit called "Touring" can fail to guide around a 100km loop is beyond me. I deliberately went for something simple without all the power and performance metrics but even that is apparently too much for Garmin.
