My Edge 810 died and not wanting a huge TV screen on my bars I opted for the 520 over the 1000. I've just found out it's not touchscreen and I'm finding navigating the menus annoying.
Will I get used to it? Anyone had the same experience?
Yes. Prefer the 520. Don't appear to have lost any functionality I actually used (mapping probably) and gained not having a sodding touchscreen, and the ability to control my turbo trainer.
What mount do you use?
Bit of a variety depending on the bike. Mtb and one road bike have the small rubber band mounts. The other two bike have out front mounts, although one is reversed and over the stem and the other actually out from. One is an SRAM One and the other came with the 520.
520 is the best bike garmin.
I'm finding the buttons hugely annoying. It takes ages to set everything up.
And the start/stop button is impossible to get to with my barfly mount. Grrrr...if only the 1000 wasn't so damn big!!
It's a shame they don't let you configure it via a smartphone like the Wahoo does. The touch screen on the 810 can be a bit of a pain but I think it's better for it.
