Badger 27 Aug 4:00pm, 27 Aug 2024 17,360 posts	0 Badger The GPS/multi-constellation/multiband performance on things like the 7x is stellar. For the moment I really value long battery life and good mapping/navigation (not sure how long I'll go on doing events long enough for 7x type battery to matter).

larkim 27 Aug 9:47pm, 27 Aug 2024 25,444 posts	0 larkim Really? It's > 3 years old, damaged through teenage carelessness - do you think they'll support in some way? Will give it a try though. (Tempted by the Fenix 5S at £100 as a backup anyway!!)
