I have been doing some research on getting a GPS for my bike and initially wanted an Edge 500/800 but appears the new eTrex 30 might be a good choice.
Here are some things I need to be able to do with whatever unit I get:
1. Accurate mileage along with a trip odometer for races with cue sheets (trans iowa and the like). Would this be good for this type of thing or would I be better off with a normal cycle computer like a Cateye?
2. Long battery life and easy to replace batteries in field. 25 hours of AA batteries looks awesome.
3. Easy to switch between 3 bikes. What mounts should I use for one of these?
4. Upload to Garmin Connect. This is compatible.
5. MOST importantly, be able to upload a route like CTR or Trans North Georgia to follow for the race.
Thoughts?
