I used to track my run using Android Apps but now wanted to go for a proper GPS watch so that I don’t spoil my phone. My budget is around $200 and I will be using it in India. I will be using it primarily for running and occasionally for cycling.

Since 310XT was launched way back in 2009 will it be pulled from market in the near term?

I prefer to go for 310XT as I get some additional features compared to FR410/610.

I also have the 310xt and find it frustrating after the 410, i’m not sure why but the 310 takes longer to start up and get a gps lock, scheduled workouts take a few button presses compared with the 410 which comes up as soon as you touch the watch. Also the time is always on which is handy.

The biggest reason for me using 310 is having four items on the screen at once opposed to three. I was tempted to upgrade to the 910 as hoped the interface might be more the 410 but i think is more like the 310 so holding off.

I have a question about my edge 810.
I want to use different maps in my activity profiles, is that possible?
If I change a map it now applies to both of my activity profiles.

Thanks and regards,
Dennis

This may do the trick! Have you tested this? :-)
