I do have a question for concerning that 530, I found it doesn't have address to address routing, so if I'm touring and I want to get to a particular address from where I'm at how do you get it to route if you can't put in an address and you don't know where it's at?

Id also suggest looking up the route in Google maps on your phone first. You can then find the location on the 530 map and navigate to that point. If I'm going somewhere new I always look it up on Google maps first, anyway, so I'm familiar with the area and can make informed decisions about the route.

I believe there are Garmin IQ apps that do this. I didn't buy it for that, and and nor am I likely to use it in that manner, so it doesn't bother me. I think the 830 does so maybe you want to get that instead.

I know about the 830, but I was just trying to find out how do you navigate with the 530 from one place to another if you can't input an address.

So why own a Garmin if I'm going look it up on my iPhone with Google maps first? I wish I knew someone personally that had one of those to see how it worked.

Have you looked on you tube? I bet there are videos on there that will help.

Parks DAG 2.2 hanger alignment tool. Because my bike just isn't shifting properly. I've ruled out user error or just being a klutz.😁

San Marco Superleggera saddle, I bought the slightly heavier Carbon FX model last year and it’s quickly become the best saddle I’ve ever used. I found the Superleggera model online today with 61% discount, could not turn that down!

Jersey Pocket Essential Case
I use my Jersey pockets to carry tools, spares etc. I have 2 GCNs, and 1 Rapha small case. Wanted them all to be the same size, longer/larger and waterproof (like Rapha) so I got the next best thing (Muc-Off Rainproof Essentials Case) .
Compared to Rapha, material is very similar, the dimension looks the same (compared to the Large size) but $10 cheaper.
GOT THIS
