Still on the hunt for a PC based software to create power based workout and download it to the Edge 500..... Doing that on the device itself is no fun.

I've considered the 500 but I'm stilll using a Polar. Can anyone tell me the differences between the 500 and the 300 and is it really worth the extra $$$?

Hello, maybe this is a stupid question but :oops: when I have Garmin Edge 500 and SRM wireless then does SRM cadence sensor connects with edge 500?

Garmin 500 reads my PowerTap cadence.

When using a course, how do you set how early the turn instructions are given?

Today on my ride it was telling me turn turn left just after I'd turned left.

Try creating the course here:

When you go to export it, set Add Course Point Warnings and set the Warning Distance.

banik, yes.

What PM? Is it ANT+?

Make sure the PM is on. Like with my PowerTap PRO+, I have to give the wheel a quick spin to wake it up. Then, at least the first time, run the scan from the Garmin to connect them.

Yes it is ANT+

But I guess this is the problem, that i did rescan but do not turn the wheel...... :oops:

Has anyone had an issue with being able to pick up speed (GPS, not wheel sensor), but distance at the start of ride? After turning it on and giving it ample time to locate satellites, I start rolling and am able to immediately register speed. Distance then takes a few minutes before it starts accumulating and I loose some of the distance traveled during the delay. It is a problem that developed a couple of weeks ago after using it without any issues for a year. I thought it may be related to a firmware problem and Garmin customer service said it may be corrupted, but after reinstalling it twice, it still occurs. Any ideas?
