June 23, 20169 yr Hi all, a simple question. Is it worth spending the money to upgrade from the Intuvia to the Nyon. It would be used mainly for the sat nav. How do the maps for the UK compare to using a Galaxy S7 with ViewRanger and the OS 1:25 maps. Cheers

June 23, 20169 yr for 450 quid its a rip off if you want to splash the cash get 1 of these https://buy.garmin.com/en-GB/GB/sports-recreation/cycling/varia-vision-in-sight-display/prod530536.html and this tho other cheaper ones works with it. https://buy.garmin.com/en-GB/GB/sports-recreation/cycling/edge-1000/prod134491.html
June 23, 20169 yr not want any 900 quid peddles then https://buy.garmin.com/en-GB/GB/sports-recreation/cycling/vector-2/prod510941.html
June 23, 20169 yr 1:25000 on viewranger is tons better the nyon give you no info on type of road or path. no gradient info. none of the extra info you get on OS maps like fences, local features etc. Its a car satnav basically. ok for road rides
June 23, 20169 yr Author Thank all for your replies The only full reviews of Nyon are on You Tube and not one in English. You can buy all 1:25 OS maps for all the UK from The Viewranger web site for £200 The Viewranger app is free. Or Buy credits and download and save just the tiles you need.
June 23, 20169 yr its to big costs a fortune works if ur lucky updates are a nightmare at best, any free sat nav on a smart phone is way better. and dont forget no support from bosch at all buy a garmin
June 23, 20169 yr I got the nyon as an upgrade on my bike, managed to get it discounted against the cost of the bike so in effect ended up costing £200. Maps are pretty good though not all kept on device, you synch the ones you are likely to need. Quite like the premium option to show typographic distance of the battery. Having only 3 route calculation modes is a bit annoying but at least it does take you on actual cycle paths, even to the point of showing you which side of the road it is on when not on the road. I like the connectivity options for smartphone, heart rate bands etc, thinking about getting one of those next. Just think a bit more development is needed such as being able to define additional route options (eg shortest, off road etc) and better options for the smartphone companion app to put on an equal footing with the Web portal. Currently some things you can only do with the Web portal which seems silly because it connects directly to your phone! Would say it's a lot of money if you already have a bike with intuvia and looking to buy off the shelf but if you can get it discounted with a new bike then get one! Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk
June 24, 20169 yr I had nyon on my bike standard , The best upgrade i made was putting on intuvia Nyon is over priced and definately oversized .
June 25, 20169 yr I do complain about the Nyon but I have no problems with the size. When my preferred screen stays put I quite like it, but it will go wondering through the other screens I have no use for. And now there is an additional screen, can't make out out what it's supposed to do, never seems to change but then would have to wear my reading glasses. Not something I want to do when on a bike.
