4 Cyclo 500 and 505 only: Adding Strava Live Segments Ride Strava Live Segments with your Cyclo and seamlessly sync your results with Strava via Magellan Cyclo. Strava Live Segments designate a portion of a route where users can compete for time. These segments are user-created and user-edited and are available for all premium Strava users. The track segments are used competitively to compare ones results with one s personal record or against other competitors thus pushing oneself to improve constantly. An overview of all the participants and their results is maintained on Strava, so one can always look back to his or her own position in the listing. You can find a detailed user guide at the end of this document.

5 Enable/disable auto recording Users will be able to enable or disable the auto record option on the device. The auto record option is activated by default. We now added the option to turn this off. This is to prevent the device from recording when this is not wanted. Auto record, when activated, will restart a recording after the device has been inactive for a while, pausing the recording, thus making sure that the user does not accidentally forget to press record again. Auto record starts as soon as motion is detected.

6 Adding 2 extra info field dashboard screens Users with multiple bicycles/profiles now have 2 additional info fields available on the dashboard screen, so they can save the info fields for both bicycles/profiles without having to edit every time they change bicycle.

7 Adding ferries back as a route setting option On popular demand we added ferry crossings again for route options. The ferry crossings will be optional in the menu.

8 Cyclo 505 only: Update crank set and cassette values for Shimano XTR M9050 Di2 Added the following: 11-Speed cassette: Crankset: Support Shimano Di2 remote control for switching dashboard pages and start/stop recording

Fine tuned map color scheme to improve visibility when navigating tracks in the forest or woods, Fixed time zone issue when 1st time device boot, Dashboard Info 1 page now is configurable, Support of GPX file including multiple <trk> tags, Settings menu restructure system related settings integrated into System settings.
