In this case, they have a known location for the calibration procedure to be done (coasting on the straights of the backside of the track), so they can track it occurring pretty easily (and do).

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).

The ANT+ Power profile has nothing in it to allow a sensor to inform the head unit it has done a self calibration so there is no way for the head unit to let the user know…

Thanks for the insight. I think I’ll go for the cheaper version!

So went on a ride today with my replacement Stages. Weather man called for clouds., Soon into my 4 hour ride, I was caught in a rain storm. I was horrified. Was I going to fry my new Stages? Hell no! Stages handled the wet and rain no problem. It worked flawlessly. Power readings were nice and smooth!!!

Hi Ray, I’ve recently really got into running (5k to 10k) and I’m looking to improve upon my times and was wondering what you’d recommend from the Garmin range? I really like the look and sound of the 610 but I’m slightly worried about the poor reviews regarding charging issues and was just wondering if this problem still exists? Budget is about max £250.

Thanks in advance and cheers for the great reviews albeit I still can’t make a decision!

I tried this on the 705 (version 3.3) and followed the steps to ensure map was enabled (Edge 705: Menu > Settings > Map > Next to “Openfietsmap Lite” select the checkbox under ‘Show’). I don’t see the “Openfietsmap Lite”. In the Map box, it is blank (file shows up on the SD card when I plug the unit into my PC). I still have the ‘etch-a-sketch’ map when I use the 705. Any ideas?
