So, first 520+ impressions are good. The set-up process is a lot better. The unit goes through all the steps to sync the phone and whatever external sensors you might have. It also runs through syncing it to Strava, RWGPS, Trail Forks, etc...
Mapping looks the same as an 820. Color, same size. It's very nice for a sub $300 GPS.
I got the MTB bundle which includes a remote that sits near the shifter to go through the pages without having to take a hand off the bar. Seems cool, but I'm not real sure what it's actual application is.
The rest is the same. You need to go through and manually adjust each data screen and field. It takes some time to get it alI setup if you have a specific order to things, like I do.
It actually synced my ride when I saved the file, which my old one never did, so, bonus. That was the main selling feature of the Wahoo so if they worked out the bugs on that end, there's zero reason to buy an Elemnt. The 520+ makes the Elemnt look like an Atari 2600.
Also. I have to test the Trail Forks sync but dude, seriously, that's worth every single penny right there. Go to any park and follow the routes the locals take. Amazing.
