    I am looking to upgrade from the Garmin 510 befor I got to Majorca with my wife. I will be cycling alone un like the last time I went with a group of friends. I am looking at the 810 or the 1000. I dont know if the features on the 1000 are worth the extra but it uses both the USA and russian sattelites like my 510 which worked greatg getting a signal. Do I need aditional maps also? I have read on DC rainmakers site how to get free ones but wasnt sure if necesary?

    Pre set route, I find the route on the 510 a bit tricky to be honest and wasnt sure if it had a bse map for Majorca. I never bothered last time but there was a group of us.

    Are you looking to ride out

    Are you looking to ride out there without a route or are you going to be using a pre planned route?

    If using a planned route i don’t see the point in changing your device. The 510 should be more than good enough. Obviously if you are looking to ride ‘free style’ then having a device with mapping is obviously an advantage.

    I personally use the 810, and really like it, I couldn’t see myself spending the extra on the 1000. I only ride in the United states though so I don’t know have the need for the added sattelites.
