The problem I encountered was that the rain on the touchscreen was constantly causing various functions to be activated. I had the unit mounted to my bike handlebars, and the screen backlight, which is set to timeout in 30 seconds, stayed on continuously from the pressure of the rain on the screen.
Hi ! Funny, I did exactly the same observation this week end : I also did a rainy trip with my 650 on my handlebar and I had also an heratic behaviour : very difficult to "clic" on an icon, self changing pages... To be confirmed on a deeper test.
Since I have this device (~1 month now) I'm quite happy with it, a lot of good points. I had until now an Edge 705 but I changed for a bigger screen an a more powerfull processor (moving a map was very slow with the Edge)
Like many guys, I did a track compare with these two devices on my handlebar and I'm a little bit desapointed about Oregon accuracy : not better than my old Edge, often worse. I was expecting something more accurate with Waas/Egnos integration but no progress on this side for me (v3.10). Linked to this, my GPX track file is not as "clean" as it was with my Edge. I tried several settings (recording auto, based on time, based on distance) but I did'nt found a way to have a clean and accurate track.
Nothing important, I still happy with this device.
