Can the Etrex 25 and 35 be set to pause recording time spent moving when you're not actually moving on the bike, like on the edge units, so you get real average speed and time spent cycling?
Haven't used a 35, but from my experience of an eTrex Vista HCx and an eTrex 30:
'Moving time' and 'Moving average' are amongst the many trip computer data field options. The unit keeps recording (unless you switch off, or put the receiver into 'Demo mode', which stops the clocks), so the 'Overall Average', 'Stopped time', etc. fields give meaningful data.
Okay, great, thanks.
Does the eTrex 25/35 have a capacative touchscreen, like the Edge 820 and 1000, or a resistive one, like the Edge 800 and 810? Seems that lots of people have had problems with the 820 touchscreen, especially in the rain or when using gloves, though oddly this doesn't seem to be so much an issue for Edge 1000 users, so maybe depends on the implementation.
Is the eTrex 25/35 touchscreen relatively problem free?
I have the Edge 1000 and I bought one of these: (Garmin Edge Remote Control):
https://buy.garmin.com/en-GB/GB/p/146078no more swiping screens when you are cycling at speed.... just press a button to switch screens
I must be honest though, I have hardly used it but my son is one who keeps on swiping screens to check the elevation map etc and I have told him that he can have it
my main screen has been set up to show me everything I need (speed, ave speed, cadence, average cadence, heart beat, distance to next turn, total distance ....
On my next bike, I will set it up with a bit more info (to suit a powermeter and DI2) .... (hoping to buy a Canyon aeroad with powermeter and DI2)
