How does a camera like the Virb
need to sync with a computer?

The Varia radar things do but a cam?

Have a look at the Explore 2 - very good for the money.

This is what my wife got me this year, a Christmas present. I think it’s great, and my old Etrex is sadly feeling neglected at the moment.

I’ve seen a Garmin 1000 for £70 so I have to pay a subscription with it ??

I have an older gamin touring and it's sloowww!

Tech moves so fast that the older models are much slower/get slower.

You get Cadence with the Explore, and if connected to your phone it will auto upload to garmin and strava linked accounts.

Brilliant I think we have a winner lol 😃😃

The 530 is an excellent bit of kit. The 830 can be fiddly with gloves on 👍

I have heard that said (along with shortening battery life), but my old 800 is still working just fine.

If you have a cadence sensor or power cranks you do, otherwise no cadence.

I do use my Edge 530 a lot and still think it has too many options Cost me £119 on sale at Evans Cycles. Would gladly pay half the price for something even more basic.

Was going to buy the edge explore 2 but my LBS could not source one as it was just released in August? Gave me a good price on the old explore 150 so about 50 off normal price as I want a large screen for the mapping. My old 1000 died a week or so before going on holiday ,might buy a 2nd hand one and replace the battery if I find a cheap one on Ebay.Not paying 500 + for the new1040 or the 1030 as I still have an old working 810. Prefer the older ones with the SD card for installing custom maps. The only issue with the explore series is that they don't have the barometric function,

Forgot to add this all the new ones are sealed units , wonder what we will do when the battery / usb port is knackered.

No, very old model. *30 is the minimum anyone should buy now, *40 is the latest models.

If nothing else the battery will be close to dead.

They're only sealed like modern phones are sealed. They can be opened, but it's a palava with a hairdryer and razor blades / special tools.
