One (newbie) question: how do you actually use the route once its uploaded to your Garmin in order to navigate? I’ve just received an Edge 510 for my birthday and I was under the impression it doesn’t really show you where to go.

Sorry if you’ve already answered this a thousand times.

Love your blog and frequently share links to it with my (very modest) blog audience.

I went on my first ride this morning with the power meter and i did not have the GSC-10 magnet on the crank arm. At one point during the initial part of my ride, i noticed there was a cadence drop for a 10-second portion (as validated later via Garmin Connect and Strava). Since this is my first ride with the power meter, i’m not exactly sure what caused it. The power meter has the latest firmware.

If Garmin GSC-10 was providing cadence data, i would be able to have a more concrete proof to show that Stages power meter was suffering from power drops.

The Garmin GSC-10 is not perfect. Occasionally when i ride over the University Bridge (a mostly metal drawbridge), i would get cadence drops until i’m on the concrete part of the bridge. But just for narrowing down the power drops issue, i think i’ll put the crank arm magnet on.
