This is a satnav and bike computer combined. You can set up a number of dashboards with loads of different information available at a glance and more measures than you could possibly ever need: everything from speed, distance, etc. to your current heart rate and the gradients coming up. The difficulty for me was in choosing from the wealth of data available. There's a great function where you tell it how far you want to go (or other parameters) and it will plot three routes for you and let you choose. Minor drawbacks include that a few times it's sent me down a road only to ask me to turn back on myself, and then gets confused and wants me to turn around again. But if you watch the map screen, it's not a problem. What did cause it big problems was when I missed a turning. I only realised when I noticed that my remaining distance was going up. At that point it didn't give me anything helpful to get back on track. I would advise that you keep it on the map dashboard if you're using this feature, although that only allows you to display two pieces of data, which is a bit disappointing. It is sometimes slow. I don't understand why it takes SOOOOOOO long to update the name of a favourite, for example, and when you're navigating, it can take a few seconds to switch between dashboards. It allows you to set parameters to avoid certain types of road, etc. which is generally helpful. Out of the box it was so fixated with taking me on cycle tracks that it took me a mile and a half out of my way on a one mile ride home! So I switched it to avoid cycle tracks, which seems to work. Sometimes, and I'd guess this is data rather than the satnav itself, it wants me to go the wrong way down one way streets or through pedestrianised areas. Which might make it ideal for cycle couriers in London. However, having set it up as I like, it navigated me home from 30 miles away using largely the kind of roads and route that I would have chosen myself, so I was pretty happy with that.Read full review

Feature wise this is as good as the garmin edge 1000 and the maps and navigation are even better, however the touchscreens go faulty far too quickly and rain is able to operate the machine. Great features, poor build quality.
