Best garmin device for the buck!
One of the best purchases I've ever made. Got it right before one amateur's competition, and it was great that I could load the track and be prepared for all the climbs. Best Garmin device for the buck!

Works very well as display unit for my Garmin RVR 315
I bought to use exclusively as a display unit for my life saver , the Garmin RVR 315, although the unit has many other functions . I used the Garminiq app to install my bike radar traffic app , then entered the setting to display the vehicle relative , absolute speed and distance . I created a screen contains only the data , so numbers appear large and easy to read . I deleted and deactivated all other data . I took it out for a few rides and worked like a champ , alerting my to the vehicles , and the speed , relative speed and absolute speed for vehicles behind . I am also using the live tracking function , so my family track my progress while I am on the road biking . The unit has numerous functions , but I am using the cyclometer iPhone app with a polar H heart rate monitor for every thing else . Make sure to have the Garmin connect app running on your phone . After the ride , you can use the Garmin connect app to view your ride with a ton of data and stat . I love it , it was worth every penny

This goes on every ride!
I use this on my road bicycle every time I go out. I love that I can select which items I want on my main screen and which arrangement best suits my needs. I like time, temperature, speed, %grade, & trip distance traveled. Your smart phone enables safety features to notify your emergency contacts. There is also an alarm to alert you to someone tampering with your bike. The signals for drink reminders and for approaching traffic (if you have the optional radar component) are easily heard, and displays are easily read. I fell once, and the attachments were very secure. What I wish I could do is add 'undocumented' miles (at first, I'd forget to turn on the Garmin). I love being able to see the degree of rise in hills and also to know the temperature. I don't use any extra monitors, so cannot comment on their effectiveness. Mapping features have been little used by me. I know the maps are accurate, but have never ridden in an area where I needed them. This piece of equipment is TMI for some, but I really appreciate having the info, and there are a number of features I have not yet used. I highly recommend this Garmin!

Love the 830
I am able to get my SRAM AXS transmission gear to display on this 830. Make sure you get the Garmin for the correct world region. First one I ordered had the Asia region maps. I needed North American maps. I contacted the seller and verified the region maps they were shipping on the second one.

Wanted to love this
First thing is that I recognize a lot of people love this model. I don’t, it's good, not great. I ride about 150 miles a week. I do about 75 on an E as a trainer and work out 75 miles on both a 'regular' mountain and road bike. I like to explore and ride in small groups in new locations on and off road. Ok, why the four stars? The unit feels technologically antiquated and not user friendly.The unit has far too many functions that most of us don't care about but clutter up and add more annoying layers. Personally, I want a cycling ONLY GPS that easy to work with, simple and not loaded with gizmos and extras. Furthermore, the dashboard, AKA Garmin Connect, is just 'OK’, not easy to follow and so many useless functions. GARMIN TIP: Allow to user to remove any/all unwanted items on both the Dashboard and the 830. They currently allow you to remove a few widgets.Lastly, the 830 pages get 'stuck' sometimes or can't locate the GPS. Solution is to reboot. Not pleasant. Also, I've had some issues with "return to start" and the unit comes back with a "you don't have this function" (paraphrase). On a positive note, the GPS has saved my butt a time or two so I give it 4 stars.I’m hoping that software updates will rectify this.p.s. The more you work on the 830, read the manual, and experiment, the easier it gets. Practice because you don’t want to learn this while you’re riding.

THE USUAL GARMIN QUALITY
I purchased the 830 for my communter/mountain bike. I have a 1030 for my road but didnt want to keep switching the unit between bikes and wanted a smaller unit without the bells and whistles. The selling point for the 830 is the color touch screen. The 530 has no touch screen. I had initially purchased the 130 but it was too small and black and white screen was difficult to see for me. (it has all the other bells and whistles). Although I didnt want the bells and whistles, I use the varia radar (a must for riding on the road) and it was more visible on the 830. So I took the bells and whistles as well, even though I dont need. Overall the unit is ostensible a smaller 1030. Th only issues are the blue tooth connections can be "wonky".(with all the devices). Sometimes they dont recognize my iPhone and you have to start a new connection. Then the old connection is still there, and the unit gets confused. Then you delete the old one and the new one doesnt work. A little frustrating when it occurs but thankfully not frequently. Many company's forgo quality at the expense of profit, but Garmin keeps offering a quality product. I hope this continues. Although I attempt to be "low tech" and stay off the phone addiction thing, I have purchased just about every Garmin product. (Fenix watch, S2 smart scale, rally power pedals, 1030, Varia radar-a must for cycling safety).
