Thanks for the information on the strap, I found the hard one for about $30 on the internet so I am trying that.
Does anyone know how to get a Gpx file on the Edge 500? I have one with coordinates for the South Boundary Trail in NM but I can't figure out how to program it. The ones I have uploaded before weren't a GPX after all.
FWIW - It appears the 500 now supports workouts. I am not sure how they work but they are in the training center, maybe I will investigate for fun later this week. I don't do workouts for training but DH does so that may be a factor if he wants one.

When you plug the 500 into your computer, does it appear on your desktop as a removable drive, the way the 705 does?
On the 705, there's a folder called Garmin and inside that, a folder called GPX. I just drop the route in the GPX folder, then when I turn the unit on, it comes up under Where To>Saved Rides.
Not sure if the 500 is the same, though.Speed comes from what you put behind you. - Judi Ketteler
