Magene C606 GPS cycle computer

Variant Magene C606 GPS cyklopočítač

I bought it primarily to display values ​​while riding and for navigation, as I already own a Garmin watch, through which I take measurements. I appreciate the fast synchronization via the One lap fit application. The device can be quickly set up, maps imported, and activities viewed. The synchronization feels faster than Garmin Connect. Connecting the heart rate sensor on the watch and transmitting to the device works, so I always have my heart rate in sight. I appreciate the customizable data fields. The device is made of high quality overall, the battery lasts for 10-12 hours of operation. The map data is a bit weaker, they do not distinguish geographical units such as forests, meadows, and water by color. Only paths on a white background are still visible. The route must be prepared in advance and any changes during the ride are possible only by interrupting the recorded activity. If someone wants to use the device both for activity tracking and for navigation in unfamiliar terrain, with the need to change the route while riding, they may be disappointed. I don't think it's a device for someone who already has a Garmin navigation system, but when you're deciding which first cycle computer to buy and find out that the cheapest Garmin costs 250 euros, this device for half the price is a good choice.

Nice machine, definitely a good thing for the money. Of course, it can't be compared to Garmin, but it also costs a lot more...
so far it meets expectations, I don't mind that everything has to be done through the app. The routes are a little more complicated to set up (you just need to download the gpx and then upload it). The controls are simple, intuitive, and it can be easily paired with a heart rate or cadence monitor...

Large display, clear image, seamless touch control, simple intuitive control, problem-free map download. Navigation works well there, including climb pro. Comparable to Garmin 840. The only drawback is only three levels of zoom in/out of the map in the device and sometimes the navigation takes longer to recalculate when changing the route compared to the plan.

Po posledním updatu je dodána i čeština. Za tu cenu naprosto v pohodě, Garmin je i 3x dražší, ale není 3x lepší. GPS funguje přesně i v lese, takže zaznamenává přesně časy na segmentech. Pokud nemáte rádi dotykové ovládání, obrazovky jsou přepínat i tlačítkem zespodu. Kompatibilní také s radary a bezdrátovým řazením.

For me, top. I ride exclusively on the road and don't need any maps or navigation. I have everything I need on the display. Everything works. Paired radar, chest strap, di2, There is nothing better and cheaper for the road, for MTB because of the maps and navigation.... I don't know, I have no experience, I would probably choose Garmin.

My first proper GPS. A bit weaker map, but it works. It's enough for navigation. It works quickly even in worse conditions - forest. I struggled with the application for a while, it still has some bugs, but in the end I managed to set everything up the way I wanted. So for me, I'm very satisfied.

Pomer cena kvalita super, zodpovedá tomu čo potrebujem, bez problémov párovanie s hrudným pásom Polar a Garmin Varia. Pri používaní navigácie je potrebné najskôr stiahnuť podkladové mapy z oficiálneho servera, chat GPT alebo Gemini vie poskytnúť presný návod ako na to

For normal driving and performance records, it is completely sufficient. Navigation is basic, outside of cities it is completely satisfactory, in larger cities - and at large intersections it can be a bit confusing. Anyway, for the money there is nothing to worry about.

after driving 4500km in less than 5 months:
It worked and did everything it was supposed to. In the cold weather of March/April, with temperatures below 10C, the battery went down relatively quickly, but now it holds up well and can handle two 5-6 hour trips over the weekend.
With the new update and a few tweaks, something went wrong.
In the new DARK mode, when looking at the map on the display, you can hardly see anything. In the LIGHT mode, the maps have added color distinctions to indicate whether it is a road, a trail or a stream, but I can't get used to it.
I'm still missing bike paths on the maps and it looks like I'm walking in the middle of a field somewhere.
I consider the biggest problem with the update to be the slope measurement. In the older version, it showed slower and with a delay, but at least it measured accurately and worked all the time. In the new version, it responds faster, but sometimes the values ​​jump like a monkey on a rubber band. At slopes of 14-15% and slow speed, it even freezes and I have to walk 200 meters for it to "come to its senses" and start displaying the correct slope values.
For that money, it provides everything a person needs, in the application he can set everything and in what format it will be displayed on the display. And comparing the price, that's a difference of 50-60% compared to the established competition.

I am satisfied with the device, but I noticed that when reporting cars (I also have a Magene radar), it makes two different types of sounds, which I can't determine which belongs to which. Have you noticed any changes?

Velka spokojnost. Bez vyhrad.

I went with the RTSK 2025 toy and was satisfied, it navigated well, I could easily plan a different route on my phone than the one I had planned, sync it to the toy and add it to the route.
Because the maps are integrated, it only takes a few seconds, and it also shows street names.
The screens are super easy to set up, I have my speed, time, temperature. Great, at least no chasing after data, ideal for a race, just turn your legs as much as you can.
The climb function is great. I see orange, I know I have to get off and pedal. I see red and purple, I know my shoes will slip off.
GPS works fine, shows temperature fine, car display is readable for 160e it's not about com. 99% and even more of what Garmin Explore 2 knows for 1/2 the price

Also a bonus, there are bike profiles, so I also have a cadence sensor on my cargo, I tap on the cargo and the sensor connects, I also have a cadence sensor on my fixed gear, tap on it and it connects, the screens also change on my defined ones and there is also cadence.

One thing to piss off... Go straight.....don't believe it! ?‍?

I immediately ordered a bumper and a screen protector for the device from Alík, which may be related to the later mentioned reservation. I bought the computer mainly for durability, which it absolutely meets, so from this point of view I am fully satisfied. As for reservations, the touch is not always registered immediately, but that may be the foil. The visibility of the display is great, I have the backlight on automatic. I have slight reservations about the application on the mobile (Android), the last route is displayed in the list but not in the calendar, it is necessary to kill the app and start it again. So far I have been using Sports Tracker + phone, but that required a power bank and the phone used to overheat. I also miss one function from Sports Tracker in my statistics - Previous on this router, since I regularly ride the same routes. I immediately replaced the holder with a fixed one, the supplied one does not inspire confidence in me.

Ako na priamom slnku je to horsie alebo treba zvysit jas naplno no bezne cez slnecny den som to mal tak na 20-30%. Oproti wahoo to nema trackovanie polohy, pri live segmente sa neda za jazdy prehadzovat medzi porovnanim s KOM a PR, Ale zase je to celkom dobre konfigurovatelne cez appku a v lese je displej pekny. Snimace parovalo vpohode. GPS isiel tiez ok. Baterka po 7.5h jazdy a 9.5h vyjazde ukazovala 56% kapacity s tym ze displej stale svietil lebo da sa vypnut podsvietenie ale potom tam toho moc nevidno takze to je dobre len ked clovek vie kam ide resp kliknutim sa mu displej rozsvieti.

Prvý GPS cyklopocitac ktorý vlastním. Appku som vedel v pohode rozchodiť. Na navigácie to nepoužívam často, jazdím na cestaku po širšom okolí, a existujú aj tabule. Keď som šiel 17% kopec, tak stále ukazovalo ze idem rovno na grafike, ale písalo presne prevýšenie v dátach. Dobrý výdrž batérie, a to používam 4 senzory. Dobre prepojenie so stravou. Ako sa používajú live etapy ci KOM cez stravu, som nedošiel nato.

The bike computer offers basic functionality for tracking sports activities, but this is its only standalone function without a mobile phone.
Most settings require a mobile app. While this is not a problem when configuring data fields, for navigation it would be more practical to have the ability to directly access the map directly on the device without having to use the phone.
On the plus side, it has reliable connectivity to sensors, including the Varia RTL515 radar. The device can process radar data such as the number of vehicles and their distance, but it lacks the ability to control the Varia light.
The physical dimensions of the device are significantly larger than the product photos suggest. The user interface, while simple, doesn't feel completely smooth. However, the touchscreen is responsive.
Personally, I find the device too basic. Compared to Garmin, it lacks advanced features such as accident detection, emergency contacts, Vari light control, or the ability to work directly with the map on the device. For these reasons, I decided to return the product.
