Garmin 500 - screen layouts

proto

Just bought one from Halfords*, and I'm fiddling about setting it up. Bought the one with HR and cadence.

Any suggestions on layout for the three screens? I don't want each screen to be too cluttered, three maybe four, data fields. Thinking one page for turbo stuff, one for out and about and one for racing.

Anyone?

* Excellent tip off from here. Online offer only, cheaper than Handtec, who were out of stock anyway! Arrived next day, very good service from Halfords.

You have plenty of options and 3 screens to play with. I would suggest one with the minimum you think you need for clarity. One with 5 or 6 items on and the 3rd with a full set. I have just speed, distance and time on one for racing. Speed, time, distance, HR and cadence for training. The third has various averages,HR, elevation gained, gradient and VAM. This seems to work for me. I spend most of the time on the middle one. It is fine for the turbo as well. Just remember to switch the GPS off. You will see why when you first forget.

+1 for the great Halfords tip.

I've got speed, cadence, average speed, and average cadence on my first page but i'm fiddling all the time at the moment.
