"Overall a great product. I am so happy I made this purchase."joemac3

(4)

Ease of installation

Easy to install. The only directions I had to read on installation were the cadence sensor installation.

(4)

Ease of use

The basic functions of this computer are easy to learn and can be figured out by about 20 minutes of tinkering. I give this a 4 and not a 5 because there are a lot of advanced training features that I still have to read the manual for. It also took me some serious time and several downloaded programs before I could successfully transfer a route from my computer into the Garmin.

(4)

Quality of Construction

Seems well built and sturdy. (Will update in a month or two after some serious use)

(4)

Adjustability

I really like that it came with not only a mount for horizontal as well as vertical tubes but a wedge to get the angle right too. that is some seriously good thinking.

(0)

Durability

Seems durable enough, I like that I can take it in the water.

(4)

Appearance

Very clean looking and it is small

(5)

Performance

So far it has been incredibly accurate. I even used it to find my car once in a very large parking lot that was very full.

Strengths

Easy to get started, easy to mount, sturdy construction, Lots of features. Also comes with software for analyzing your routes.

Weakness

Hard to load routes from computer to Garmin.
