There must be digital inclinometers that could fit in an Edge, but you’d probably have to calibrate it every time at the beginning of a ride. Like the Edge 820 before it, the Edge 830 contains a complete mapset for the region you bought it in. It should have either saved the file, or allowed you to resume the file when you turned it back on again. Read one page and then invite your child to read the next, progressing in small chunks together. I don’t recall this being a problem with my Edge 1000. Great review Ray. The ride Today was with the latest bèta version. Because I haven’t had any high altitude rides lately, I’m deferring you to Mr. DesFit, who has, and kindly lent me his high altitude shot: What the feature shows is your current altitude adaptation level. Thus, they just point you back (compass-style) to the route itself, rather than giving you turn by turn directions. Thus, two riders could ride the exact same route and get totally different Flow scores. On my last run it even crashed to restart (and lost some tracking data) at the beginning of each “climb pro”. That’s on Apple, not Garmin. That’s odd. In addition to the two pictured above, some of my other favorites on this site include How I Learned Geography, A Bad Case of Stripes, and The Polar Express. To add to the enjoyment, children are invited to wear their pyjamas for the trip. I just haven’t investigated it completely. A lower number is a better score. I take things to a whole new level of interactive depth! Between the update lag and my focus being on the intersection, I’m usually not looking at the screen to notice the name. Or do you mean the map page that’s there even when a turn isn’t coming up, or when you’re not navigating a route? Im using Favero Assioma _I dont know if may be soemthing related to this powermeter (I dont think so) or anything Im missing…. Has anyone else got these problems and solved it please?? I subsequently disabled the emergency notification function as I thought it was too sensitive and would generate too many false positives. Currently I have a edge 820, and as far as I know there is no possibility to see your starred Strava segments when navigating a course. I navigate a lot more that I did with my previous Edges because of ClimbPro, so maybe I’m just noticing problems because I’m using it a lot more. The most obvious way the new Trailforks data manifests itself is a feature called ‘ForkSight’, which automatically pops up anytime you pause at an intersection of trails (or, more appropriately – a fork in the trail). Any chance this was the first ride post iOS13? No interweb connectivity is required at any point here. There’s likely no topic that stirs as much discussion and passion as GPS accuracy. The setup for the feature is buried super deep in the menus. It’s slightly slower in routing (one of these days I’ll put all the units side by side), but not enough that it’s mattered to me. You can customize your various data pages in here, as well as automatic things like auto lap or alerts, plus nutrition/hydration info, Strava segment alerts, and so on. :-/. I love it. The rest of us know that it’s simply better to stay indoors and Zwift instead. Specifically, whether or not something triggers a climb on ClimbPro (since this is calculated on the unit itself when a route is loaded). Might go to Garmin connect website then via browser when out and about. Volume isn’t a concern for me because I have a Bluetooth speaker. Is there a way to repair that? Here’s a disastrously big lineup of mostly current bike computers, all aligned on their base to a chunk of wood: From left to right: Garmin Edge 130, Garmin Edge 520/520Plus/820 (identical case size), Polar M460, Wahoo BOLT, Garmin 530/830 (identical case size), Wahoo ELEMNT, Wahoo ELEMNT ROAM, Hammerhead Karoo, Garmin Edge 1030, Sigma ROX 12. Enjoy, and thanks for stopping by! Next, speaking of elevation, there’s two new features coupled together – heat and altitude acclimation. But more on GPS accuracy a bit later on. Personally, I’ve never had any issues myself with that placement – but it seems to vary a lot on which mounts your using and in some cases your bike setup as well. Additionally, during the ride you’ll get jump notifications in real-time with distance/hang time. No idea why. Meanwhile, if you want to route to a specific point of interest you can go to the POI’s and choose something that looks interesting. Good luck! And finally, one of the newer metrics not seen on any other Garmin device is Power Curve. My display seems blur, in particular the the large text/characters in the main menu with white background. I tested this on a recent ride and it DOES NOT WORK – Climb Pro didn’t show up on substantial climbs. Hopefully it was a buggy sensor as manual using the correction in Connection then Strava is just a pain on a phone browser as it can’t be done via the apps. Connects to my android phone (google pixel 2xl) 20% of the time. The only problem was the connection with my Samsung S9+. Thanks in advance for anyone’s help! Where is “touch screen sensitivity settings”? Happy with it. A good number of people having the issue simple compared with their older devices on the same map. Worked just like out on the road. 2-if you click that sensors button, then select your Assioma pedals, and then do you get a calibrate button?—YES. Is there a max file size for TCX / GPX routes? I lost that ride and then watched DCR video. You’ll want to keep around the previous Trailforks Connect IQ app, since that has better tie-ins with your actual Trailforks account on their platform, so you can save your routes quickly and pull them into the Edge. It looked OK to me, but then I wasn’t trying to read it while riding, so your input is helpful. They did it both directions though. and relatively new to cycling ~3yrs. Yeah, the “Upcoming Climbs” page doesn’t disappear at the start of the last climb, and I haven’t seen any directional arrows of any kind, either. It’s worth a try. Yes, it can, but not through its own speaker. Trying to reconnect with the Garmin doesn’t help. Here’s another section with all of them out – nice and clean. Next, down below in the charts section they show up there too, also color coded: And finally, down in the stats section you’ve got the new Mountain Bike Dynamics, including any jumps (or, lack thereof in my case): You should be able to see these on Garmin Connect Mobile as well, though my app isn’t showing them yet due to some bug, however, others that I know are seeing them just fine. Tap on “navigate” and set your course, 2). Now, there are slight differences depending on what exactly you’re doing. My Edge 1000 fixed most of that, but leaving the course had it frantically attempt to make me go back to exactly where I’d left the course, which wasn’t always possible. I am an enduro rider and one of my regular courses is a 600 foot / 1-mile climb that takes me around 15 minutes. I think out of my head I always have to tap it twice to get it to go back to the data screen. There’s a few bottles of the Garmin MARQ at one point where the cave is (the green text you see). Dan Santat, the author and illustrator of Beekle, The Unimaginary Friend , received the Caldecott Medal for this beautiful book in … back light intensity can be adjusted by swiping down from the top. Hi Ray Enter our Giveaway for a chance to win copies our May Read Aloud Books. One day a few weeks ago I took it out to the garage and tried to turn in on and it wouldn’t. most of the time, it works. Its like HQ said, “here’s your hardware specs, here’s the feature list” and completely skipped the part about performance standards. That is used in the Suunto 9 as well and showing similar issues. If you’re new around these parts, here’s the long version of my story. Whereas the Garmin method matches that of Hammerhead’s Karoo and Sigma’s ROX 12 in terms of proper on-street routing data. But rides will be double counted if they’re recorded on both. This is a celebration of the difference she makes every day. I finally managed to fully pair my Edge 830 with my iPhone 11 Pro only in the last week. As for your choice, if you care about navigation there is none. Had to stop and pair the Quarq using ANT+ and carry on. Here’s the scenario: I ride from my house to meet people, and the course start is from the meeting point. The 530/830 are all designed to match the naming scheme of the 130 and 1030. I realize that means ability to use as many accounts for Garmin connect … so not as trivial feature as it seems. I just gave up on looking at what Strava said about my power, there’s other sites/analysis tools that are better for that. All Standard Class ticket holders will also receive a freshly baked cookie and mug of hot chocolate. Thanks. So for example in downhill mountain biking if you created a lap at the top of each descent, you’d be able to see how these scores compared lap after lap. Thank you for such great reviews. The 830 takes sensor input with both Ant+ and Bluetooth protocols simultaneously. You will need to authorize that briefly the first time you use the unit, but it only takes a second. If that is a restriction, then I will adapt. I’m headed to Paris – what do you recommend for training or sightseeing? [rant mode] The 830 is definitely not living up to the hype and the software is not ready for release as it’s still buggy. Now for realz, let’s get onto using it. I presume correct crank length is still crucial to accurate power readings on the new 830? The challenge for the Edge 830 isn’t that there’s anything wrong with it. But as already stated the 830 launch is far better then 1030 and 130. Or is there another way? I have the 1030 since a year ago and had to disable the “feature” due to the same issue. (Just trying to understand the degree of suck). Anyone knows how why auto start/stop doesn’t work in Workout mode, and whether there’s a different setting than the regular one to make it work? Thanks, No, you don’t need the map page up the whole time. I plugged my 830 in to a powered usb hub last night whilst the pc was off and noticed a strange boot loop where the garmin seemed to think it was connected to a pc, start a boot, then power off and repeat in around a 5-10 second interval. I mean just a point on the map that is not a specific address nor a specific point of interest. The other 80% of the time it takes +- 30 min to connect after restarting the unit and phone several times. This is truely a dealbreaker for me and I’m going to return that thing. Where can you switch between BLE and Ant+? – Edge Remote There is some cross talk between them via Connect, but if you record a ride on both, it will show up as two activities. First of all, thanks for you clear review regarding this device. I really don’t know if the 830 is paired and will work properly now or not unless I go out for a ride and record something to share. It automatically creates through the IQ App into your Garmin in the correct format. Appreciate your reply. I didn’t see it on numerous rides in Mallorca on legit climbs, nor any mountain bike rides elsewhere in California. Even on the hills around Sea Otter two weeks ago while mountain biking it was handy for some of the shorter but also painful routes. So in efforts to combat the amount of emails I need to sort through on a daily basis, I’ve complied this “My Photography Gear” post for your curious minds! Question: Is it still ‘safe’ to simply grab the ‘settings’, ‘sports’, ‘locations’, and ‘courses’ files straight off the 520 and move them to the 830 to get the screens, locations, etc all setup quickly for me on the new unit? 2. Personally, I actually prefer the Edge 530 method of just long-holding the left button. I expect them to have learned from the previous 3 generations and to release a more mature product. 1) Occasionally after passing a turn point the “Distance to Next” would remain at ZERO sometimes as long as a half mile past the turn. Also, ensure average gradient is 3%. The reviews generally take a lot of hours to put together, so it’s a fair bit of work (and labor of love). I wish it would be possible to tune down the sensitivity because like this it is a quite annoying feature. For me that’s a step down after using smartphone on screen quality. The new units dive deep into both the road bike realm and mountain bike territory with new functions that I suspect both crowds will find useful. The climb page shows the distance remaining on the climb, the ascent remaining, the average grade remaining, and then two customizable fields at the bottom. Personally, I’d struggle to remember even 2-3 times in the last 5-8 years where I’ve routed to a specific address or POI on the Edge series. As usual, once you’ve completed these workouts, they’ll sync up to Garmin Connect and the various 3rd party platforms they might have come from. I was thinking that a great upgrade could be 830, but at the same time see many cyclists simply going for Wahoo Bolt basically because it works. Once you do it a few times (the loading on the fly), it’ll become quick. It would be great if design engineers provided a colorblind mode. The edge 810 was incredibly accurate to use with gloves.. 1. You can have up to two data fields on the map page. Like the Harry Potter books, I’ve read this book so many times, often as a read-aloud for my students, because it’s so well-written and interesting. I have the problem, that my iPhone battery will be drained by 10-15% per hour, as soon as I switch on the Edge 830. Whereas the gear option aims to give you tips on what kind of gear you should have that day (for example, if it’s cold and miserable to bring gloves). That said, time and time again I found the Polar Vantage V off in the water, as seen here. You’ll get a notification when you arm it, when it’s triggered, and when it’s disarmed: I demo the whole thing as part of the video up above in the ‘What’s new’ section. It requires that you have some route/course loaded, so it knows where you’re going. I suspect it got a weird initial fix which is used to then calibrate the barometer. Another issue I have is that when Daylight Saving Time recently ended, my 830 is still showing one hour ahead, and no amount of synching or resetting will change it. As the meme goes ‘You had one job!’, and in this case, it would be to put the training stats in the training section. Its the same with me, no direct calibration. The release notes for 3.50 say that Garmin recommends always using ANT+ if possible. Changing one datafield is very simple. No se observa en la carpeta courses el track que se habia cargado en la carpeta NEw Files ¿? It might be in the power meter sensor settings if yours doesn’t ask for calibration.
