BS. Seems some people can't be satisfied by anything.
The CS200 is for road bikes. Put it on a MTB and of course it will break!!!! It works fine for almost everyone, so maybe the problems are a user issue.
All calorie counters are an approximation, and a very rough one too!!! A power meter will get you a "closer approximation" if you spend a grand.
The Edge is NOT a navigator and is not advertised as one. Carry an IPaq or a TomTom if you want to know where you are and you are cycling so fast you can't follow the scenery. The Edge is a TRAINING AID, and a b..y good one too. You can however use it as a very effective route director for Audax rides, etc. if you know what you are doing and have the appropriate software and know how to use it. The Edge is not designed for this task but does perform it quite satisfactorily.
