GEOID CC700 / CC700 Pro cycling computers

[mashiro2004]

Geoid support was fantastic. I sent them the information this morning and they solved the problem shortly thereafter. I downloaded all the maps I needed: Italy, France, Switzerland, and San Marino.

Good to know
They seem to be promising some updates - unsure what though!

Probably the feature taken out from the magene version

Hey!

Quick question about your GEOID CC700 Pro : do you use structured workouts on it? Like, can you create a session with intervals (e.g. 30s at 250W, then 30s recovery, repeated X times), and does the device actually guide you through each step showing something like "Interval 3/10 — target: 250W" ?

Once the training has ended, can it me synced with Garmin Connect?

Thank you.

So what's the verdict on this one? How's the CC700 / CC700 Pro compare?

everything works except for the lackluster navigation (it is crap) but I got it (CC700 Pro) for cheap so I'm not complaining.

If we ever get a climbpro-like feature, then I'm really sold!

I'm just waiting on the next Coros Dura (if that's even coming) and I still have my lezyne mega xl gps (40 hrs solid battery) but the geoid cc700 pro will do for now.

Can I ask whats bad about the navigation?
Is it sluggish? How does the screen update woensdag navigating?
I”m about to buy a cc700pro, mainly for navigation but you made me doubt.
Is the screen fluid like a  recent smartphone does while navigating?

A couple of irritating things: if you import a route in FIT/GPX format it discards all of the POI's, so you lose your turn information along with cafe stops, audax/sportive check-points etc. It then generates its own turn directions, but these include lots of false turns - basically any 90 degree bend in the road - which are a distraction for when it pops up a real turn. Also there's a big lag whenever you page through your screens to the navigation page, which can cause you to swipe or hit the Page button again and skip past it. And once you're back on the map/navigation screen it takes a couple of seconds to redraw your position and route. It's fine if you just stay on the map page. One nice thing: It will automatically zoom in as you approach a turn. It's not terrible for the modest price, but by any other standard the overall experience is mediocre. I'm ok using it on roads that I'm familiar with, where I might just need an occasional reminder. I'm not so sure about using it on unfamillar roads and routes - there'll be some missed turns and stops to consult the phone.

this feedback should be sent to geoid i think!

First time post here but hoping folks from Magene/GeoID are reading along.

Overall, the value for money is good for this device. The screen brightness is good, customization of data screens works quite intuitive and the device feels solid. I had no issues pairing with my phone. It also works with my Coospo radar.

The software is somewhat limited though and requires work. For example:
1.   It is not possible to customize HR zones. It can calculate HR zones based on max. HR or lactate threshold but doesn’t allow to customize like other parties do.
2.   The map doesn’t show all the cycling paths, even when these are shown on any other map that you check.
3.   Even when cycling on a 100% flat surface, the device constantly indicates between -0.3 and +0.3 gradient.
4.   It fails to calculate an alternative route when going off-track. The device gives a notification it is doing recalculations (when being connected to the app) but fails to create an alternative.
5. It doesn't allow for custom notifications. I was used to an old Wahoo elemnt bolt v1 and even on that device I could set a drink or eat reminder every X minutes. On the GEOID, this isn't possible.

Overall, it it is nice device at this price point, however, it could be much better with a few additions/improvements.

thinking of selling mine as it just isnt polished enough-
its a solid 5-6/10 but need a touch more for gravel navigation and other units for not much more money have climb pro and strava segments etc.

took a punt on it and not expecting Garmin level of polish but tbh i may go to buy a magene c606v2 or bryton s510 (had 750 previously) as like the way you can
Plug it into PC and drag and drop files into it
long press a metric and change on the fly etc

gonna give it a second chance- brining it to calpe for a week.
if you dont hear from me then you know its poor,lol!

[johnnyboy4711]

Just back from Calpe,Spain after 6 days cycling and it performed better than expected tbh.
Mates sent gpx file from RWGPS and downloaded to phone,pushed to unit and away i went.
elevation data would be great to have - but you cannot have everything.

After a few more rides with the CC700 Pro I’m still a bit undecided for the price it’s solid, but navigation can be a bit hit and miss.

Out of curiosity, has anyone compared it with a Bryton https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005011873457686.html? On paper seems a bit more polished on navigation and integrations, but not sure if it’s worth the price difference in real use.

Main thing for me is reliable GPX and rerouting

[johnnyboy4711]

s810 is brytons flagship unit- not comparable at all tbh imho
i was looking at 650 as a direct replacement for gravel navigation- need it up the hills!

[johnnyboy4711]

sold mine
went for bryton 650 for 134€
had 750 previously and liked their editability on the go.
used to their ecosystem
