Garmin 510/810 profiles & fields
Discussion
Anyone want to share what profiles and fields they use on their 510/810s?
At the moment I've not spent a great deal of time setting mine up, which are as below:
Train (use this when on the TT)
Page 1 - Cadence, Heart Rate, Time, Distance, Time of Day and Speed
Page 2 - Ave Cadence, Calories, Avg. HR
General (everything else!)
Page 1 - Time, Speed, Distance, Elevation, Cadence, Heart Rate
Page 2 - Temp, Time of Day, HR Zone and Total Ascent
As you can tell, not exactly optimised for either, so would be interested to hear what profiles and fields you guys are using

P1 - Speed / Dist / Time / Time of Day / Cadence / HR
P2 - Cadence / HR / Grade / Temp / VAM
P3 - VAM / Grade / Dist. / Speed / HR
P4 - Speed / HR / Cadence
P5 - Temp.
Basically I was playing with what do I want to see. So I use P1 all the time, switch between 2 and 3 if climbing, 4 if cruising fast/downhill/sprint and 5 is just if I want to check the conditions when stopped / practising Casually Deliberate at the pre/post ride espresso moments.

Primary screen:
speed
ride time
gradient + distance
HR + cadence
Secondary screen - cant recall 100% and 810 not to hand but the max number of fields configurable
eg total time inc stops, elevation spot and total, ave speed, temperature, time of day and several other "vitals" I cant remember
Tertiary screens:
maps, elevation, training partner etc
Primary is my, errr primary screen, and I rarely look at anything else in the saddle unless Im using it for nav
Time and temperature would be useful but would make it overly fussy of added to the other fields, however if you tap the screen once you get them plus battery capacity shown with the bluetooth and L/R buttons on the touchscreen so sorted
EDIT: got it
secondary screen:
ave speed + elapsed time
lap + heading
ascent + descent (will prob change desc)
temp + spot elevation
accuracy + calories
speed
ride time
gradient + distance
HR + cadence

Virtual Partner
I think the 510 is a great piece of kit however I am frustrated that the course following function does not work correctly with the virtual partner, under recording distances by 10%.
