thanks
I think it's fine for track. The SRM PowerControl V is older than that and is still in use.
The main features of the 510 are:
- Connected features such as live tracking, send/receive courses, social media sharing and weather
- Compatible with GPS and GLONASS satellites for faster satellite acquisition
- Distance, speed, ascent/descent and GPS position
- Wireless data transfers to Garmin Connect
- Activity profiles store preferences for different cycling activities
None of which matter for track.
