Hey folks, not too long ago I bought one of these which is the LEZYNE Micro Color
GPS, year 10, and ever since I did that I always wondered how would it compare to
a LEZYNE, the bigger ones. I have the MACRO GPS here, the Super GPS which is
the most powerful they have is the same size.
So here's my quick side-by-side
between the two, this would be mostly from a mountain bikers perspective.
In their portfolio right now for year 10 there's three of these small guys and
there's two of the big gps's.
This is the most powerful one they have
this is the cheaper, the MACRO GPS, the Super GPS has ANT+ and Bluetooth
pretty much just like this one without the color screen but all the other
sensors, radios are included.
Just by looking at them they are pretty much the
same design, almost everything. And because they use most probably the same
motherboard you can see the buttons here are pretty much in the same spot
even though this is a much larger unit. So they didn't move them up and down a
little bit just for better ergonomics, they kept everything the same.
Just looking at the dimensions, this guy is pretty much a square inch
so 2.5 x 2.5 cm and this is about 2 centimeters tall
from the X-Lock Mount, the cross here at the back to the top of the screen.
MACRO screen is quite a bit bigger, 3 cm by 4 cm.
When it comes to how tall it is, 2.7 cm so it is
a taller unit too. Because this guy has the smaller screen, there's a few other
things that are not available here that were introduced even recently on the bigger units.
And that mostly has to do with how many fields of data you can fit on these screens.
On the little ones you can fit up to 3 so
that's how the 3 would look like and mind you this is actually
pretty good. They improved the fonts, I have it with the white background over here.
This one is set up with a white background as well
So I can have four, have three, I can have this setup with seven for example.
And you can have 8 so 2 rows side by side.
As a mountain biker I need at least three.
Now if I really want to see what's on the screen I always set it up with something like this
which is just two fields of data, quite visible, and it's big enough for
pretty much anything that I would need.
With the back light illumination set to 100%
you can see them here side by side the Micro is a tiny bit dimmer but
overall they are quite visible.
Put them side-by-side here on the handlebar
this is taller by 7 mm, it's quite a bit wider.
My Micro C this is exactly the way I want it
I don't think the screen is as sharp as this other one is
Perfectly visible don't get me wrong but I think there's a higher quality
there's a higher quality screen in the Micro C.
Installation is the same on both, they use the X-lock Mount.
I figured that if you just use your palm to push on the unit and twist, here it is
I just removed it.
Operation of two units is identical so a long press
of the top right button gets you into the menus.
These menus are exactly the same
Using the phone it's simple, you just download their app which is this one here.
If you go here on the the More button and you go GPS Settings
this is where setting up of your bikes is gonna be.
This is where you go into your menu
and you're gonna be able to set up the display.
As you can see here there's no
way for me to set up any more than 3 of these fields.
With the little guy turned off when connected to this guy
two, three, five so I can have up to five screens
and then once you click in there just by scrolling up here
look that, I can have up to eight fields of data all of them on the screen.
So yeah, those are pretty much all the differences between these two devices.
So the number of pages you can put on the screen and the fact that this one is
bigger but the screen is not as nice as the other one.
If you want more details about
how to set these up make sure you watch my other video but aside from that
I'm being pretty happy with this, it provides me everything I need for mountain biking.
They both charge using the USB.
They both use the same cloud account from LEZYNE.
I called them up for support they were very helpful.
They keep pushing out firmware updates and improving the functionality
adding new functionalities so overall I'm a happy customer so far.
If you have any questions about this let me know in the comments below.
Don't forget to like the video
keep an eye on my channel
and until next time I will see you on the trails guys.
Cheers!
