Riporto qui qualche passaggio essenziale dalla review di DC Rainmaker disponibile
qui. A link si trova anche un bel video che spiega tutto sul nuovo dispositivo.
------
The
Edge 820 is an Edge 1000 in the shell of an Edge 520, except that its got a new personality (user interface) and a number of new software features found on neither the Edge 520 or Edge 1000.
Heres precisely whats new on the Edge 820 (and if its found on other
Garmin units):
Adds in Group Tracking (stalking your friends)
Contains full/detailed mapping/routing (like Edge 1000)
Contains 16GB of internal storage (no micro-SD card slot though)
Adds in phone-based audio prompts (like Garmin wearables)
Adds in Incident/Emergency Detection/Notifications (like Edge Explore 1000)
Adds in new Stress Score (seen on wearables)
Has WiFi (on Edge 1000, but not Edge 520)
Has a touch screen (like Edge 1000)
Has a cool new Battery Save mode (never seen before)
So are there any things not found on the Edge 820 that are on the Edge 1000? Just a few:
Doesnt have landscape mode (for rotating screen)
Doesnt have the micro-SD card slot (for more than 16GB of maps)
Has a smaller screen than the Edge 1000
And
thats it.
As for the Edge Explore 820, heres how its different than the base Edge 820:
No WiFi
No Ambient Light Sensor
No ANT+ Power Meter or Shifting Support
No Structured Training Support (i.e. structured workouts)
No advanced metrics like performance indictor, FTP, etc
