<img attachment="image.jpg" align="right">I recently purchased a Garmin Edge 530 biking computer to upgrade from my Edge 500. It had served me well for over ten years, but the battery was no longer holding a charge reliably and wouldn't last longer than 3 or 4 hours maximum. I also wanted to be able to store routes so that I was no longer the only annoying guy in the group who had no idea where I was going when we left familiar territory. I got the 530 because it's compact and doesn't have a touch-screen. I'm still trying to figure out how to turn off the "sharp corner warnings" when I'm <i>not</i> navigating. It makes no sense to announce turns that I might be taking---but usually am not taking. Note to Garmin: here in Switzerland, we have traffic circles. Like, a <i>LOT</i> of traffic circles. You may have heard of them? No, I don't think you have, because your silly gadget warns me about every single one as a "sharp U-Turn" even though it has <i>NO IDEA</i> which exit I'm planning to take because I'm not riding a route. Also, while I am navigating, the "upcoming turn" warnings are great, of course. But ... only when you're actually moving at speed. Otherwise, they dominate your device for up to a minute as you crawl your way up a 12% grade toward that "dangerous, sharp corner" that you're likely to fly off of at 10km/hr. I think I've figured out how to have it show those hints only when I'm actually looking at the map, but I haven't tested yet whether that's better (next up: I'll be complaining about missing turns on my route). Note to Garmin: here in Switzerland, we have hills and mountains and passes. Like, a <i>LOT</i> of hills. You may have heard of them? No, I don't think you have, because your silly gadget warns me about "upcoming turns" for 45 seconds before I get to them because I'm <i>GOING UPHILL</i>. I'm fascinated to see that you've been working on these devices for decades and still haven't figured out how to adjust the lead time for a turn warning based on vehicle speed. Fortunately, it pays to complain loudly about things because my friend patiently wrote back that, <bq>On the Garmin 530 it's located under "Settings" / "Activity Profiles" - select the profile you want to change, then scroll down to "Navigation". You'll now see the Sharp Bend feature and by default it's "on.</bq> Doh! <b>I was on that page.</b> I turned the other option to <c>Text only</c> so that it stops switching to the map on me. I somehow did not see the <c>Sharp Bend</c> option that <i>WAS RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF MY FACE.</i> Complaining loudly in a semi-public forum FTW! 🎉
