Bolt
1. Nice touch to have your current speed on the map page.
2. LED lights to indicate turns.... pretty cool
3. When on data screen, pop ups for navigation direction was nice.
4. Cues are too damn small. Cant read it... as @Patrick said, gonna need bifocals.
5. Contours/curves of the road looks bit too exaggerated.
530
1. Color screen makes the map/directions easier to read
2 Good size fonts on the cues... at least for me. Had no issue reading.
3. Auto-zoom feature at turns with big bold white arrow to indicate turn. Cant remember if the Bolt auto zoomed.... bigger bread crumb? If it did... the difference was not significant enuff for me to notice.
4. Reroute sucks... Bolt has no reroute. 530 reroute is so bad.... having no reroute is better.
Personally for me, 530 wins on the navigation front. Way easier to follow and its closer to your car navi.
When making quick glances at the Bolt... it looks like a big blob and you need a sec longer to make out the info you want to see. Where as the 530, due to the color and the bigger screen, you don't need that extra sec.
But if you are training and needing directions, I can see why someone would like the Bolt better.
First ride with the HR monitor.
It wasn't a hard ride... and my HR maxed at 173 and avged at 152. Mid effort, it was ranging around mid 160-166.
Resting was around 80 and it shot up to 100 when smoking LOL
