Where you mount your computer on your MTB, the size of the head unit, the third party apps (such as Komoot, Trailforks, or stava) you use, and any peripheral sensors for additional stats will all affect your GPS experience. If you’re lucky enough to have electronic shifting then your computer may be compatible with this. Try a few things out and find what works for you!

Do you use a cycle computer? Let us know below

Been using my iPhone X for a long time with a Lifeproof bracket on both my Trek Powerfly 5 and ElliptiGo with no problem and plug it in to a power brick to keep fully charged on long rides. I’ve been waffling back and forth between getting a Wahoo or Garmin. Seems the Garmin is perhaps the better choice. Once summer hiking is done and cooler temps return to Florida I’ll commit and go for it.

The phone is a great option but you will get way better accuracy with a dedicated GPS device and other features such as heart rate, multi sports use, way better route planning/mapping plus it wont burn your data. The other obvious benefit is that GPS units are smaller hardier devices meant for use in outdoor conditions such as mud and rain.

Garmin 1030 (like the bis Screen) and Route planning with Komoot. Made 8000 km in nearly 2 years now …

@jeffsoutdoorsadventures8842 3 жыл бұрын

Does the 830 and 1030 have the maps of trails on it? I am interested in the navigation of it more than I am the hill grade, I would like to know that if I hit a trail and want to get back to my car, I can do so by using a GPS taking me down the trail and not bush waking.

@martsky 5 жыл бұрын

If you've got a Garmin watch, you can link that to your computer for displaying heart rate without a separate sensor...

@roxielaketahoe3188 5 жыл бұрын

On the Garmin 130 can you display the riders wattage output from a Levo connection. Would be very useful for training.

@Zwiesel66 5 жыл бұрын

Where are the Wahoos ? - My Garmin experiences are not the best many of their devices got annoying issues - only the new 530 looks promising. btw. I am missing an advertising hint in this video, a little bit too many Garmin devices IMHO ;-)

Agree, I believe I understand business model behind channel, but this video is bit too much bent by product placements - not to mention it even lacks PP flag. Why not shortly mention also other alternatives as addition to repeatedly promoting same two or three brands. It can attract much more viewers.. There is for sure way how to do it and not jeopardy present brands paying for their promotions.

Hi Neil, Thanks for your tip on Komoot, new to me. Used it now for 3 tours and real happy with it. One question though; how do I switch to mtb ALPINE??? I plan my tour on a Win 10 laptop in Firefox and can only choose mtb. Cheers

Garmin Edge 130 only lasts about 3-3.5 hours before the battery runs out... Not really recommended if you want to use it for long days out

Apple Watch with Strava is what I’m using. Works great, no clutter. Gives most statistics, speed, elevation, heart rate, distance and you can make a phone call or text if needed. Get home check computer or phone to see all yah data

Again, how did people find their way back from a trail , road taken without GPS. They used their sense of direction . come on man , you know you have driven or cycled on new roads in your life and found your way home . New trails can be found on numerous sites on the internet . once you get to the trail head , just start riding and paying attention to where you are going and you will be fine . Geesh why am i even saying this . have people become so dependent on tech that their brains have shut down . rhetorical question.

@@siriosstar4789 I don't use a GPS on rides, but the GPS has saved my life on mountains. I mean I literally know people who have lost direction and died of exposure. On a bike, depending where you are, you can go a LONG way off-trail and if you break down there you can be a LONG way to civilisation and it'll be gruelling depending how badly your 25kg bike is broken. What happens then when the Scottish weather suddenly sets in? It can turn dark and cold and wet in an instant here, any time of year. A GPS can direct you to the closest, safest place to be.
