Who has taken the plunge and upped their firmware to 3.3? Saw the new firmware notice tonight when upoloading todays struggle.
I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

Anyone got a Edge 605? What's it like? How expensive are the maps?
I was given one for Xmas but traded it for a SatMap but it never got returned, so sitting in a cupboard but the SatMap is a bit heavy for a road bike LOL1997 Gary Fisher Big Sur

The maps can be free. Wifey is getting me a 705 for Xmas but I thought I'd try the opensource maps before shelling out £50 of her hard earned money for City Maps.
I have already downloaded the full 3.2G Europe map from Velo Maps so I'll pop this on the SD card on Xmas day and give it a whirl.
I'd be interested in any more feedback on software updates as that will obviously be my first decision when I open the box. I believe I will need at least v. 2.9 to give SDHC card compatibility for the 4g card I have also coming.0 -
Go 3.1 first. 3.2 was a nightmare and was withdrawn. 3.3 should be fine !
I don't think I'll ever bother with the 800, check the Garmin Forum, a number of cracked screens and they don't recon it's that easy to read.0 -

+1. 3.1 is very stable, I've had no bother. 3.2 was fine for a while on mine, but then it decided to muck up the recording of the fourth day of Pedal to Paris (it got the mileage & overall time right, but the track stops well outside the city & apparently riding time was 15 minutes...a Veyron couldn't have gone that quick!), and a couple of rides after that had no track at all, though timings & distance were correct. 3.3...I'll wait and see.
800 didn't seem worth an upgrade to me, but if there are problems even more so!Dahon Speed Pro TT; Trek Portland
