@dastott I never had my bluetooth enabled on the 520 and after about 5 or 6 hours, it needed recharge. So, don't know how we could have such different experiences on battery life. I never got more than 7 hours. Maybe I had something connected that I didn't realize, or maybe my GPS was using GLONASS and your's wasn't?
@OreoCookie Yeah. I can use my phone if I need to but don't like to use it for navigation unless really necessary. Personal preference. I'm hoping the larger screen on the 800 will make it less necessary. If you have a chance to look at a Bolt, try zooming out on the map to get the 'big picture.' In my experience, once you zoom out beyond a certain point, you get what looks like spaghetti instead of roads. The point at which this happens is sooner than I would like. My Bolt still works although I've got to do work-arounds to sync a route and I'm never quite sure anymore if a route I've updated will make it to the unit. This being my 2nd Bolt and this problem being annoying and recurring, for me, it's time to go back to Garmin (and perhaps remember why I switched to Wahoo in the first place?). Sigh.
