new iGS800 Bike GPS Computer

[cameltown]

It's a bit sad that they don't focus on one product they could surely deliver something good. Having a few really solid features rather than being all over the place.. Everyone say the same that the IGS800 stuff are lacking in almost every feature implementation. Feels like a product that is not ready and will never be ready. Who wants to pay 300+ for that ?
I still use my garmin edge 520 and garmin add features to it so long after the release..

Did anyone already took a shot on this IGS800 in the meantime?

I just ordered one. I’ve been a longtime user of the 620. I’ve enjoyed that model until this point but ‘Ive wanted something that was a tad bigger. I like the idea of rerouting and the iclimb feature. Should be here tomorrow and I’ll update as soon as I get a few hundred miles on it!

the igs630 got rerouting, had iclimb pro and segments beta is available too. I haven't installed the update yet, so I'm not sure if it really can reroute.
I don't really understand how it will work, but the functionality seems to be the same.

As I understand it the IGS630 is not getting a firmware upgrade for rerouting. It's a new device called IGS630S that just has a couple changes including rerouting, with a higher MSRP
Personally happy with the 630 overall except for mapping, it sometimes gets confused following a route, and I've had the device completely crash and reboot mid-ride once (not saved in the storage). Still ordered a magene C606 to compare because on paper it looks awesome if it can load 2 regions worth of maps

I have 2 iGS630s.  I went into the sensor detection screen (Shifter) and tried for about 1/2 an hour to try to get my 630 to link/recognize/do something.  All it did was non stop "Searching"   I tried on 3 different EDS derailleurs and the 630 didn't find any of the derailleurs.

I turned on my Wheeltop app and linked to the derailleurs hoping the 630 might pair with the phone or derailleur.
I opened my iGS630 app on my phone to see if there was anything in the app I could use to link/find my EDS derailleurs. (Nothing.)

Edit:  I do not see EDS/Wheeltop listed in the advanced features for the iGS630. 
Edit 3/26/24   This is what IGSport wrote me when I asked if the 630 works with EDS:

Thank you for writing to us.
 
The compatibility with Wheeltop EDS OX  and TX is decided by the functionality of both devices.
To confirm the compatibility with the shifter, please search from the bike computers directly.
They will be not compatible if the shifter can't be searched by the bike computer.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.
 
Best Regards,
 Customer Service Team

(Since my 630 searched without finding the EDS derailleur, I take it that it does not support the Wheeltop EDS derailleur, and I doubt the new 800 supports EDS either.)

Thoughts?

I just connected the IGS800 to the Wheeltop EDS TX pretty easily.  Only thing is the ways the gears are listed is backwards (same as the app).

my bad, I use the igs630s... I installed the firmware update, but it didn't say anything about rerouting.
Segments u need to add manually to routes it seems.

the c606 doesn't support as many components... my wife can use the igs630s to commute with her e bike.
