Not for your needs. Why not get a 500 (you can get it for just $180 with DCRainmaker's 10% discount)?

It's mostly for pacing intervals and time trials. So all she really needs is 3 second power, lap power, and cadence.

Garmin's support/customer service is not a strong suit. Even on showstopper issues, they are not very communicative, giving the appearance of denial or stonewalling. To their credit, the issue eventually gets resolved, but at a glacial pace compared to this new age of instant response times.

Yep, reported. And left a review in the app store too. The new app is quite nice and I commend them for their efforts. They'll get it resolved eventually. Until then, I'll just ride my bike to my mistress' house. lol.

I've got an 810 and it occasionally shows insane speeds for my rides. Yesterday I averaged 97 mph(!) for 19.8 miles - yeah right
I can't figure out why it does this and I find this Garmin to be "less than user friendly".

Not sure how you do that with other programs.

I believe there's a website or a program that will go through the data for you and correct the issues.
I'm not sure what the issue could be, I was going to guess that without a sensor, the gps wasn't picking up your movement correctly, causing jumps in the data. I've had mine give me faulty data before, but it was due to the magnet spinning on my spoke, causing it to be slightly away from the sensor which gave me a lower than normal speed.
Do you have a link to the garmin connect page for that ride, it'd be quite interesting to look at the data? I'd be curious to look at time and distance and see if those are accurate or if they also reflect the 97mph speed avg.

Completely dead or dead battery? I'm hoping I don't encounter this problem anytime soon, but I can't wait to collect all those KOM's going 97mph!

Perhaps you need to click through the DCRainmaker site to make it work.
Also, when you buy the Vector pedal's they sell the crow foot adapter for a torque wrench (needed to properly install the pedals) for $1.00, which saves $17 over the Amazon price.
