    Worth it if you can afford it and want the additional features. The 510 has a lot of those features though, including in-ride mapping

    Mine freezes at least once per ride when navigating. I thought that it happened when it lost a GPS fix, eg under trees in mountains but it happened today in an open flat area. It happened three times on one spin a few weeks ago.

    There have been a lot of complaints about its Live Track feature. I can get mine to work from the couch (even with wifi turned off on my phone) but not on the go.

    Other than that its great :)

    I did a bit of research when I wanted to upgrade my 500 and went for the 800 as it worked out cheaper and the live track, which a lot of people claimed to have problems with, wasn't something I needed

    Better off upgrading to the 510 then?

    Went from 500 to 810 and it never gives me any bother

    I had an 800 that I lost while out on a sportive. Got the 810, it's worth getting in fairness.

    I bought the 810 performance bundle from Hantec recently and very pleased with it, but my main interest was the maps and navigation. Haven't used the live track as yet, though it seems to pair to my phone ok.
