    thanks to Dave's help I settled on the Edge 1000.

    Prepared the business case and presented the capital expenditure request to the Board (Mrs)

    who promptly rejected the request stating that until items #x, #y, #z are completed
    around Chateau Benes, there won't be any funds available for toys like this

    Milan.
    Sounds very sensible. Always good to have bosses like that.

      What? What does one of these things cost? Thousands?

      Why didn't you just buy it? Why does it need consultation?

          Edge Explore 1000

          Article from the ever reliable DC Rainmaker on Edge Explore 1000 vs. Edge 1000

          Garmin releases new Edge Explore 1000 Edition: Tells your friends when you crash into a ditch | DC Rainmaker

          Re Speed and cadence sensors. I believe that the Edge defaults to using GPS for speed, so speed sensor only relevant for turbo training / indoor cycling.

          With my paired android phone, crash detection doesn't remember preferred number for emergency contact, so have to redo every time, which sends a text to recipient every time!

          Also you'll need a compatible Heart Rate monitor. I found my old one didn't work with Edge Explore 1000 and annoying you can't take HR from a Garmin watch and send to Edge.

          (Owner of too many Garmin devices, none of which her indoors approved ;-)

              And take your litter with you, stick to the bike trails, look out for walkers and show a bit of respect for the countryside.

                Currently an "ending soon" 13% discount at Evans with IPSE Advantages (if you're a member) - might add to the business case for getting now rather than later!

                  If you find issues with the data, you could help the project out by submitting fixes - that's what the "open" bit means

                    Oh I do. But I'm not about to mount a surveying expedition to remote Highland mountains to fill in the void
