Three rides in using my new Edge 820 and I’ve not quite gelled with it so far. Obviously there’s an element of user error / lack of knowledge but…
The first ride was local and fine. Well apart from the screen constantly going off due to a power saving mode (I’m used to my Edge 500 being on and visible all the time). Easily rectified.
Second ride involved using an uploaded TCX file to ride an unfamiliar route/location. There were numerous navigational mistakes and lots of stop/start riding which I was hoping to avoid, hence the upgrade to the Edge 820. The device was constantly informing me I was off course. Almost like the TCX I was following (created in 2011 I believe) was 20M+ off?
Then today I rode a well known, regular route. All seemed well. I got home and uploaded the route via Garmin Express and when checking Strava the final third of the ride segments are missing? So I clicked on the link regarding missing segments and it informs me that ‘Your Activity seems to have taken the wrong direction or path near the start of the Segment’.
The only thing I can think of is that the new Edge 820 is more accurate from a GPS perspective? GPS+GLONASS setting instead of the standard GPS? Anyone else had similar problems/issues?
