Garmin Edge Explore Touchscreen Touring Bike Computer with Connected Features, White

Works real well and very reliable. I will buy it again.

The edge I received has European Maps I expected US maps

I ordered this Garmin expecting it to provide cycling maps where I live, only to find that it has maps of Europe, not North America. Garmin customer support told me that this model was intended for use in Europe and I would have to pay an extra yearly fee to download maps of North America so I could use it here. I am returning it.

This (the "Explore") is the large Garmin Edge, which emphasizes navigation over training. So it's got a nice big screen but no ability to connect a power meter. When I say "big" I don't mean it's as big as a modern mobile phone, which I find too big for the handlebars. It's as big as I want it. I think you can connect a heart rate monitor by Bluetooth, but I don't use any of that stuff so I haven't tried it. I got it for navigation, and it's good at that. You can just put a location in, like a car SatNav. Or you can use the built in course designer. Alternatively you can design a course using Komoot, which is a separate app which I prefer. You also need to download the Garmin Connect app, and set Komoot and Connect to sync to each other. Once that'ss set up, it works really well. I find that I use about 50% of the battery on a four hour ride, so it's got enough battery for most people. It uses a bit more battery if you have it constantly attached to your phone by Bluetooth. That allows some phone notifications to pop up on the Garmin. I don't bother. Note that, unlike a car SatNav, and unlike Komoot if you use it as a SatNav on your phone, there are no audio instructions. You just get warning bleeps in advance of turns or if you go off course. I like that. I hated wearing in-ear headphones to hear Komoot's instructions. There's no need for that with the Garmin. The beeps are quite high pitched, and you can generally hear them in traffic. And I prefer to rely on the visual picture of the route that the Garmin gives you. Like all SatNavs it has a few wrinkles and glitches that occasionally confuse, but in general it makes me confident about where I am and where I'm going. When I don't need navigation I still use the Garmin to record my rides, and to display a screen showing distance, speed, average speed, elevation, elapsed time and time of day. I was surprised I needed to customize it to show time of day, but it was pretty easy. I don't really know why I record my rides, since my phone automatically records them on my Google Maps timeline anyway. I just like having the data screen visible as I ride along, and I like having the weekly, monthly and annual data that the Garmin Connect app collects if you connect the Garmin to the phone by Bluetooth briefly after a ride. I particularly like the elevation data, which gives me an excuse for my unimpressive average speeds. And I think the Garmin distance data is a bit more accurate than Google Maps Timeline, which sometimes seems to short change me. None of the above really explains why I somehow just feel happier riding along with a Garmin on my handlebars, but I definitely do. By the way, I'm not saying it's better than other cycling computers. This is my first one, so I have nothing to compare it to. But I do really like it.

Batteriet tappar flera % på ett par dagar under vila, tar ganska lång tid att ladda efter ett träningspass. Mycket bra pris.

zeer goede aankoop. werkt perfect.

Un GPS comprado a muy buen precio, aprovechando una d elasa ofertas que suele ofrecer Amazon de vez en cuando. Muy buen aparto para la bici, con la calidad y fiabilidad, ya conocida, de Garmin.

Ce compteur est largement suffisant pour la plupart des cyclistes amateurs. Il a les fonctions essentielles et est très simple à utiliser. Avec les logiciels Garmin, on peut préparer ses parcours que ce soit en VTT, route ou rando et une fois transférés sur l'appareil impossible de se perdre. On trouve sur internet des cartes précises et gratuites bien que une fois mise à jour la carte Garmin d'origine soit déjà très bien. On peut laisser le TPH dans la poche ou le sac à dos car on peut recevoir ses notifications sur le compteur. J'ai acheté un support déporté car je n'étais pas fan de la fixation fournie. Et cerise sur le gâteau, il est à un prix très raisonnable.
