C606 Smart GPS Bike Computer

Working well, especially when the WiFi function returns home, it will automatically upload cycling data, which is highly recommended.

The Magene C606 GPS bike computer is a perfect addition to my bicycle. This device is primarily a GPS but has so much more that it does beyond just location and directions. The device can be paired with other Magene components for tasks like tail light controls and heart rate monitors. When you pair the device with your phone you will have phone and message capabilities as well as WhatsApp connection. The GPS is small enough not to be a burden on the bike but sufficiently sized for visibility. I have also paired the device with the OnelapFit app which is a well-made app with lots of training functions.

This cycling computer is just under 3” and has a scratch resistance touchscreen. Although this computer is capable of capturing an impressive amount of data I have to admit my main draw was to have a gps screen which I could track routes with. This has worked pretty well for me for that purpose. The included mount is simple but effective. Setup was straightforward but parts were somewhat tedious. For example setting up maps required downloading the map for your region, but it doesn’t automatically use it you have to select it for use elsewhere. I think this is great contender at this price point.

Overall this computer is pretty solid with great features like a quality touch screen a good navigation setup and a good looking UI but a fatal flaw of the product is the fact that I'm unable to upload a GPX file that has a route longer than 300 km being a deal breaker for me.

Overall this is an excellent bike computer that has all the functionality that the average rider needs. And at $159, it’s a bargain! However there are a few annoying things: 1. Support is only available by email and response time is slow at times. days. 2. The user guide is almost useless. It basically tells you how to turn on the device. There is nothing online in the FAQ section. It took me quite a while to figure out how to download maps, for example. This is a basic function 3. There doesn’t appear to be any way to select a bike other than going in Personal Profile. This should be an option when you start a ride. 4. Some of the language and labelling used is a bit odd. For example, different bicycles are added to a section called “My Vehicles”!!!! Why not just call it “My Bicycles”? 5. The mapping/route creation function is almost useless. The routes generated are for cars not bicycles. As well there is no zoom function on the map application in Onelapfit. If you want to use the device for navigation, the only practical option is to create the route in an other application like Strava or Ride with GPS and import it.
