Thinking about getting a garmin type GPS cycle puter and was wondering what others have found to be good? I currently am using strava on phone which works fine but can't read whilst riding.
Cheers
Matt.

I have the 500 and find it really good. Battery life is awesome. Some new versions out now with more features.
Bryton doesn't upload to Strava.

I'd get which ever one MK has because it reads some super fast times but i'd give the one that Tonys got a miss because it reads slow. cheers Tippo.

Bryton DOES upload, Strava DOESNT recognise it as a legit workout, "manual uploads dont count for challenges"  Also, Garmin and phone apps are the only way to achieve KOM and segment ranks. Bryton is great but not as well socially integrated as the Garmin/App option. This guy is a great source of info all things GPS/cycling and strava. www.scarletfire.co.uk/category/cycling/Attachments:

And as Lewy said if you want to be metre cheated get a 200.  |

Should get a clear run at 1am with the added incentive of out sprinting hobos. |

Dang I missed chasing you down Polly, I tried smashing polly the other night but jumped the speed hump outside the school and disintergrated my groovy tail light and had to stop and pick up the pieces.
Garmin 510 or 500 for the best priced Russ, or the 800 - 810 for rich bastards. Bryton for the uncool kids 8(
Cheers
