]]> Comment on How to download free maps to your Garmin Edge 705/800/810 by Bob Quindazzi http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2013/05/download-garmin-705800810.html#comment-131016 Bob Quindazzi Sun, 26 May 2013 02:45:43 +0000 http://www.dcrainmaker.com/?p=13516#comment-131016 Is there any reason one wouldn’t just make one giant map file of anywhere one was likely to ride? I live in Rhode Island, so when I made my request I selected from Eastern New York and all of New England. Is there some downside to this that I’m missing?
Could one choose say, the entire eastern seaboard?

I’m guessing it’s a one time thing, since it has a specific pressure ….

That said, the only two options today are the 4iiii’s and Wahoo.

Fwiw, the next rev of the ANT+ power profile spec will include notification of the offset changing (it came out of a request I made in general that then O-Synce pushed forward to ANT+, who agreed to the change, SRM will be supporting it first).
