Garmin 530

[Mare]

To confuse things further (after the battle between the Garmin 520 (then the plus) and the Wahoo), they have now released the 530. I want a new GPS and was holding off until this got released, so it's time to pull the trigger (likely). If anyone gets one, or heard anything about the 530, please share feedback!

See! Good thing you waited! I was close a few months back too, but then I heard about the 530. It was a true test of patience!

520 + is basically an Atari 2600 now.

How many pts can you negate off the FRED factor if you buy the 530?

Jokes aside, the trailforks integration sounds like a great feature

Is the 530 that much betterer than the 520+ and therefore the 830 more gooder than the 530?
