I've ridden on long and short trips for years, but always shied away from the GPS units, even though I have a handheld Magellan for hunting and hiking. Planning a long trip for spring and figured I'd get a head start on the setup. I was so frustrated that i was ready to send it back until I stumbled across your video. Tells me what I need to know, where the others get all bogged down in trivial features I don't need... Thanks for the effort!

So helpful even though I have Garmin Edge Explore 2. I am frustrated planning my own courses, Garmin doesn’t use cycle routes and I hate cycling on main roads. (I’m 71 years old!! ) Any advice on planning own courses would be appreciated. Thanks.

hello @mrsspidermanband! You can use Google Earth to draw any route you want to go. You literally use the line (path) tool and draw the entire route you want to ride. You need to convert that file to a GPX file so that it can be imported into the Garmin Edge. In Google Earth Desktop, after you have created the complete route, you will see it in "My Places" on the left side of your screen. You will then right mouse click on that file and choose "Save As" to save the KML file to a folder on your computer. When you save it give it a meaningful name. NOw you go to kml2gpx.com/ to convert the KML to a GPX file. Once you have the GPX file you should be able to import that into the Garmin Edge. I have not created my own route but I am 99.9% sure that will get you taken care of. Hope that helps.

After my second Garmin Edge 520 died unexpectedly I decided to try something different - the Wahoo ELEMNT Bolt instead of the Garmin 530. Boy! I'm glad I did. kzfaq.infoUgkxXZCtB-wGdHVTBSz8RswePK5vllHNi06N The display on the Wahoo Bolt is much easier to read. I like the configuration of the display more (up to 7 items visible on page 1 without scrolling and the first item chosen is larger characters than the next 3 rows that have pairs of items (still very readable). I also like the configurable item selections. The Bolt synced with my Garmin ANT+ Speed sensors on both bikes easily so no additional investment was required there. While the rated battery life is a couple hours less than the Garmin 520/530, I easily get a weeks worth of 1+ hour rides before recharging (and it's never really low on charge). At the end of a ride syncing to the Wahoo app, Strava, and Apple Health app is painless.

Hi. Just came across the channel and video. Just bought a new road bike and Garmin Edge 530. Moved my Garmin Varia from old to new bike and new bike has a built in power meter in the crank. I thought I could just go into settings and sensors and add those two items but got a message that said I need to be in pairing mode and am not sure what to do. I went into Garmin Connect be seemed to be getting hung up there. I'm sure I am missing something but any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hey Timmy, great video. I’m in the middle of that same journey myself. Down about 60 pounds so far. Hey I noticed that you said you purchased that bike in Greenville. Are you in Greenville South Carolina or Greenville North Carolina? Just curious because I live in Greenville South Carolina. You seem like a great guy and maybe our paths will cross at some point if we were both in the same city.

Thanks for taking time to make the video. I have used phone Strava the last year and of course all my road buddies daily say "get a Garmin" Finally caved in and got one and as a 46 year old non tech guy i feel sooo lost even with basic stuff. I hope my $400 wasn't a waste haha...phone Strava is sooo easy. I live in Korea now but hearing you talk makes me miss my North Carolina home & friends. Cheers!

Greetings from stateside! Yep, the Garmin is nice. I love my Garmin Fenix 6 as well as the Garmin 830. And the Garmin app auto syncs everything right up to Strava so you never miss a beat there. Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by the channel. I lived in Durham, NC when I was young and went to elementary school there until the 4th grade. Pretty much lived in MS every since then :)

What is sharp bend warning and why do you have to turn it off?
@lifewithtimmyd7641 3 жыл бұрын
Mario, it is just a warning that can alert you if there is a "sharp bend in the road". For road biking it is not needed. For motorcycle riding at high speeds, yes it would be beneficial. I guess for someone road biking down hills at high speeds on a winding road, then it could be useful there if your route will include very sharp turns. But where I live I have no use for it. Hope this helps.

Thanks, dude. I am looking into buying one of these and your video was really helpful. Nobody else's videos I saw showed the web interface, Garmin Express, or a view of courses on the actual device after uploading. You showed and explained every process in detail. I appreciate it. You said that you can transfer data to the device from your laptop (from Garmin Connect?) if they are both on the same wifi network, right? I don't use a mobile phone and I usually use Linux rather than Windows or Mac, so that sounds like it would be the most comfortable option for me, or copying .fit files after mounting the device's storage.

@lifewithtimmyd7641 3 жыл бұрын
The wifi is so that the Garmin Edge will auto update your ride data to your Garmin account. If you set it up to connect to your home wifi then you do NOT have to plug it up to your laptop to sync your ride data. After it uploads to Garmin Connect (website) then you can see all of your data for the ride on your phone/tablet. Hope that makes sense.

Hey great video help me out a lot. Question do you know how to set it up to where I can just free ride in it records everything without me preloading a course? It keeps putting A-line with a greater symbol on the screen when I'm trying to ride. Thanks for your time in any help
@lifewithtimmyd7641 3 жыл бұрын
Hey JJ, when you start riding, you can simply press the button in the bottom right corner and it will change from a RED blinking square to a Green triangle. The triangle will be visible for a few seconds but that tells you that you are now recording. If at any time during the ride, you need to pause, simply push the same button (bottom right corner) and it will then give you the option, to SAVE, PAUSE, or DISCARD (I think that is right). If you push pause, then pushing it again after you start to ride again will resume the recording. When you are done, simply push the button and and select the SAVE option. That ride will get syncronized with Garmin Express the next time it connects to wifi. Hope this helps!

@DroneMappingTools 3 жыл бұрын
yes it will. Any of the GoPros that have GPS data will work (I believe that is from the GoPro 5 forward. The main thing is to make sure you turn the camera on and get a good GPS signal before you start recording. Do not ever use the "instant record". If you go out and get a good signal then start recording you will be in good shape. This is nice software and constantly improving.

@@DroneMappingTools I paid for the software and it works great. Unfortunately, I've been in the habit of using the auto-on/off function with the record button. I was doing this to conserve battery while snowboarding, but as a result the GPS data is no good without any satellite fixes.

Very inspiring Timmy. I found your channel trying to learn how to get my Garmin 830 set up. I agree with everything you've said in this video. I was down 30 lbs but during Covid I gained back 12 by eating and drinking more, and poorer food choices. But, Covid got me more heavily into cycling - better cardio and heart health than pre-Covid, but heavier. Now I plan to lose those 12 plus a few more. I've ordered the book too. I look forward to more of your videos!!!
@lifewithtimmyd7641 3 жыл бұрын
Thanks Mike! Glad you enjoyed it. Great job on losing and getting in better cardio. I am at 190 and heading to 185. Another great book after “The Obesity Code” is by Dr Ken Berry and it is called “Lies My Dr Told Me”. I would definitely read obesity code 1st but the second one is an excellent book which deals with a lot of nutritional stuff as well. If you follow the guidelines in the obesity code you will lose that 12+ maybe a few more unwanted pounds but more importantly keep it off. Be sure and post back and let us know how are you doing.
