Comment on Garmin Edge 510 In-Depth Review by Night Brewer

Update

The Track Me function has about. 30% success rate with me. I just did a 55 minute rides on the BayArea and my wife saw nothing. Garmin needs to improve this function or resign to the fact that the 500 delivers on its promise where the 510 doesn’t.

Thanks for the great reviews that you always provide! I am upgrading my older Cateye bike computer to either the 510 or 500. I do not have a power meter as of now but plan on getting one in about a years time. My primary focus of training is Ironman. Which unit do you suggest I get? The 510 or 500? Thanks again.

I have a simple 3T mount (basically a round tube that bolts between the aero bars) mounted in front of an xlab torpedo mount in reverse (read: bottle removed towards me).

Computer is directly in line of site and no issues with bottle removal at recent 70.3.

Anyone else having problems with uploading to Garmin Connect from the SD Card (for me it gets stuck at the 0% bar, but works fine when uploading from internal memory), and also displaying the heart rate graph, it just goes to displaying heart rate? Using firmware 2.50.

I should add, you’re welcome to improve or publish the batch file script on dcrainmaker too, if you think it’d benefit others

Thanks Ray, this is exactly my next task as I go from rehabilitating my shoulder on the trainer to riding outdoors again. I thought readers may be interested in a simple batch file for windows that I’ve written and published which allows for backing up data (in particular, the FIT files) so that we’re not all getting locked into Garmin Connect which doesn’t have a bulk export facility.
