I have a garmin 1000 touring , nice big screen , battery life is very good , appping is good with a colour screen. It also has accident detection that will link to a phone and call your emergency contact if you crash , however you can set it off by going lairy down rocky descents
Bank holiday ride around the Ladybower classic loop, nearly 20 miles and 2500 ft of climbing. There seem to be more rocks in potato alley than I remember. The levo managed the trip on 2 bars and the additional small battery.
To give you a idea how good the SL climbing , I went to cannock recently and did the full circuit. On the switchback climbs in trail mode I had no problem going up the climbs , passing none bikes with ease , I found turbo on the switchback bends a bit to powerful- this may be down to my skills...
Updated my old Derbyshire and the Peak District MTB guide to the current version ,that now has photos instead of the pen &ink drawings.
Trip out to Ticknall with a diversion to the trails that the locals have built in Robins Wood and out to Anchor church caves.
its important that we buy good quality tools and learn how to do basic maintenance tasks like replacing cables , cassettes, derailers and indexing gears.
