Hi All, For various reasons I wouldn't mind taking a spare GPS device with me on a long motorcycle trip I've got planned. As I have already have an Edge 830 I was just wondering if anyone has used one either in a car on on a motorbike. The route will be lengthy, mainly on A & B roads so nothing complicated, however it will be over 1,000miles long. So a few questions for those with better knowledge of these things than me.
1. Is there a limit to the length of a route? (I can split it up into planned fuel stops, but for simplicity I'd rather keep it to one route if I can).
2. Ditto the waypoints.
3. Baring in mind it's cycling computer, will it throw a wobbly if I try to include motorways?
4. Similarly, if I come across a road closure and have to divert, will it 'revert' to cycling mode, reroute and avoid motorways & dual carriageways.
5. At motorcycle speed, will the notifications for junctions be advised early enough?
6. My motorcycle helmet has a Bluetooth Intercom that normally connects to the main satnav, a Garmin Zumo XT. The Edge 830 has bluetooth capability. I assume Bluetooth is Bluetooth. Is the Edge's system anything special or different.
Sorry if the above is bit long winded and the answer to many of the questions is to just try it, but any hints that would save me wasting time would be appreciated.
