It doesn’t support any sort of navigational features.

]]> Comment on Incredible deals: Garmin FR910XT for $299, FR310XT for $169, Edge 800 for $229, Ambit for $349 by Peter Kingsland http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2013/05/incredible-fr910xt-fr310xt.html#comment-130025 Peter Kingsland Sat, 18 May 2013 08:29:39 +0000 http://www.dcrainmaker.com/?p=13333#comment-130025 So tempted to go for the 910XT but would love to see if the Tomtom will be a serious competitor at a lower price!

If the Tomtom battery will really do 10 hours (with GPS, screen and sensors at a 1sec sample rate) I’d be happy with that and if it could talk/upload to a phone like the Edge 810 then I’d be completely sold…..

Worrying they didn’t mention phone sync at release- even if its a future update, would be a major selling point?!

Any updates on tomtom bringing you their new toy Ray??

Cheers for the initial thoughts ;-)

1. Edge705 has no “stairs” in logged elevation data
2. Edge800 does have them
3. Edge810 has no stairs again

I just checked it exporting other people’s rides from Garmin Connect. The mistery for me why Garmin did not modify this approach for 800 (and 500). A month ago they launched a new firmware for 500, but it does not deal with this at all.

Sidenote 910XT has the same bloody stairs.

Manual elevation cal of Edge (if I understood well)

1. Edge705: waypoint in the neighbourhood at the very start with elevation data

2. Edge800/810: manual typing of the known elevation, which can calibrate the unit at any time during recording.

As far as it concerned 910XT is not like 800, but like 705.

From this elevation freak perspective only 810 is an approved unit for me. Now I have no hope that the stairs and the manual elev cal approach of 910XT will be transformed to similar to 910XT.
