I am a sales rep at a lbs, this video is helpful and pertinent as the plethora of devices and features continuously expands. This content is essential for helping me meet riders' needs as well as my own.

The big advantage of Garmin Devices is, you are allowed to use third party maps like Velomap to navigate.

You did an outstanding job on presenting the various options and capabilities of the Garmin units. I am in my late 60s…healthy, fit and active. I’ve always loved bicycling…and in retirement, I’ve developed an interest in “gravel tour bikepacking”. As I spent two careers in challenging (and often fraught with danger) professions (military and federal law enforcement), I have no wish to entertain unnecessary danger in my recreation. I have had too many close calls with vehicles on the road (too many damned drivers staring at screens, I would guess! Funny, as how this video is presenting a “screen” to bicyclists). Anyway, my question, I know that you can “front load” a route in some devices…what I’m looking for is a bike computer that can depict “off pavement” routing. So, let’s say, I want to ride my bike across Massachusetts, Outskirts of Boston to Stockbridge…I want to avoid paved roads to greatest extent possible. Do I have to know those gravel roads, rail trails, twin track roads? Or is there a device that I front load my parameters, and input origin and destination? Again, you did a great job of explaining….I’m just looking for greater detail how a particular unit will perform. Thanks again! Bravo-Zulu, very well done!

I would also be interested in your findings from Garmin on this. Same boat as you, retired, gravel bikepacking, etc.

Anyone using Edge 130 or 130 plus as an extended display for Garmin Fenix? Because it does not use GPS and connect to many sensors as a normal use, I wonder how long its battery is going to last for more than 12 hours claimed or not?

Would like to see the 130 get an update that allows Di2 compatibility. Don't much care for anything else like climb pro.

Will it be worth the 530 in 2023? Or is it worth waiting for the release Edge 540?

Is there any Garmin bicycle computer you can search for a location by name ? I with my cyclo 210 I have to know where I'm going which is pretty useless if I'm going somewhere and cannot use my phone to find the post code?!

Can we change the map region? For example, from the South East Asia map to United States or Europe. Thanks
@GarminRetailTraining 6 ай бұрын
Thank you for your question. Our Edge devices come preloaded with either a Basemap or Garmin Cycling Map, with the option of adding additional mapping for other regions. The following link can help answer questions about which maps come on which devices and optional mapping available. I hope this helps. support.garmin.com/?faq=1sYQRWxUh55jMyl1pGo2Z6

My main concern with garmin edge 530 is how bad the navigation is. Once you started the course you can't modify it. When you get off course navigation won't guide you back on course. Is there any upgrade that fixes these problems?
@quazar912 3 ай бұрын
ubviously not, otherwise, Garmin tech stuff will jump right here to say " YES, you can modify"
@grahamf695 Күн бұрын
I agree with you. Navigation is the most important function for me, but Google Maps is far better at navigation than the Garmin. Surely Garmin could have given more thought to how their navigation system helps you when you get lost?

Do you have to pay any subscription to use the GPS ?

Thank you for your question. No, there are no subscriptions/fees to use GPS.

Carmín is the Nokia of the cycling world. How about updating the app and interface with features like wahoo to be able to load a route on demand? Btw on my edge 530 the screen died I opened the device and it was just a lose connector. Really poor Garmin.

I got jumpscared when I saw the prices of these. Used is an option, but I’ll still go with my old phone. Heavier and less battery. I’ll keep using sound navigation and turning the screen on when needed.

I had cataract surgery 2 years ago. Can’t see close up anymore without readers. Sold my 520 plus. Found those stick on readers on Amazon. Stick Tite I believe. $20. Have a pair coming this weekend. Going to attach to my cycling glasses and attach my fēnix 6x near where computer will be on the stem. If I can see it clearly I’m going to pull the trigger on another computer. Explorer 2 or edge 840 depending on results. Cheers!

Do you want to bike around one handed? If you own the watch you should know if you can run maps or not..

@@kazymerchyk they could attach the watch to the handle. The only thing it wont do then is monitor HR, but HRM sensors arent as expensive as a separate bike monitor

@@bumpsy yes for sure but the screen is small, it depends on what biking you’re doing. For me trail riding I’ll never be able to see the tiny watch screen to know where my next turn is. It would become more of a hazard again but if street riding maybe that would work well if you’re willing to sacrifice one of the most important things to evaluate.
