Garmin Edge Explore 2, Easy to use GPS Bike/Cycling Computer, eBike Compatability, Maps and Navigation, Additional Cycling Safety Features and more, Black

Upgrading from a 520+, there is a massive difference screen resolution is much better and larger. So easy to set up just bluetooth to the phone and all data from your accessories ported straight over, everything worked however it picked up the radar but not the light but was simple to correct. You get the usual low quality Garmin (rubber band) mount, I prefer to buy a third party version. The maps are really impressive with plenty of detail I really liked the warnings for dangerous roads etc whilst riding, battery life is brilliant and I found the accessories connected far quicker than my old 520+. I did have an issue fitting this onto my existing bike mounts as it is quite large and it fowled on stem bolts and lights I had, so I ended up spending more money on mounting options. I did like the idea of a bike alarm built in which is great leaving it out of sight at cafe stops, the only disappointment was only three profiles. Although you can rename them the one that is 'indoor' has limited functionality it will not record any elevation only speed and distance as it's to be used on a trainer, so it only has two! Pro's 1. Large display with good resolution 2. Easy setup 3. Bluetooth connection very quick and solid 4. Mapping and guides 5. Touchscreen 6. Long battery life 7. Bike alarm 8. Road danger warnings 9. USB type 'C' Cons 1. Can be difficult to mount due to being large 2. Updates from the phone over bluetooth takes ages 3. Only two profiles 'road' and 'off road' 4. Low quality mounting kit

If you just want a GPS device for your bike without all the nonsense and the ridiculous price, this is great. You can connect heart rate & cadence sensors if you wish, but it doesn’t give all the training data that the high end devices do. However the mapping and data logging is pretty much identical to the higher end devices. You can add or take away data screens and customize them to show exactly what you need/want to see and the mapping is the usual Garmin quality. Battery life is good, but not exceptional, the UI easy to use and it connects to your phone via the Garmin connect app so all your stats are displayed for post ride analysis. Does navigation, data logging and basic sensor connectivity for 25% of the price of top end Garmin units.

Brilliant product, easy to navigate and use, plenty of options to personalise display. Easy to read when on the move and excellent battery life, overall 10/10

I bought this for long distance bicycle tours, I don't need all the athletic performance stuff. I feel that Garmin's designers are all young dudes obsessed with sport training and no idea about other kinds of cycling. THis is possibly the best touring GPS device but it's well short of ideal. I used to use a Garmin eTrex hiking computer which was pretty good, but this has a much clearer display. It's annoying on a long tour that it has a built in rechargeable battery as the eTrex used AAs which are so much more pracical on the road. I really like the way I can export routes direct from Ride With GPS to the device via my phone. You can customise it so you have a map/route display and a computer display and can swipe easily between the two (once you've got rid of the endless techy fitness displays) Annoying things include: 1. The climb displays just don't reflect the actual gradients you encounter, so they are pointless. 2. The device is too eager to re-route me when I've chosen my route with care and really want to be in control of my journey, not have some stupid American robot make my decisions. You can turn this off but it's easy to forget to do it. 3. The interface is a mess, it's a complex device and a lot of the complexity is stuff I don't want, but when there is something I want to change or set up and I have previously seen that setting screen, it's often impossible to find my way back to it. There's a weird kind of context-sensitive thing that means something that might be visible in one situation disappears in another, it just needs a more straightforward menu system. 4. It's definitely not a touring device even though it's promoted as such. It would be great to have a tour mode with only those features that you would want when navigating a long tour. 5. There's a REALLY weird thing that when you stop the display changes to show a huge 'Pause' symbol obscuring the map display. (Hey Garmin I know that I've stopped, I don't need you shouting at me about it). Then when you start it obscures the display again with a big 'Play' symbol for several seconds. This is just at the moment you may need to see the map and your route ahead very clearly, maybe at a complex road junction. 6. Finally it's always extremely unclear whether you are actually 'navigating' the route you have set. I'm never sure and I've often found that the computer is not actually recording the trip data, presumably I've not pressed the right button. Because you don't know what's going on you may actually stop navigation when you mean to start it.

Great road bike computer, easy yo use and reliable

I'm a dinosaur! I never wanted any of this electronic stuff distracting me from enjoying a ride. I'm now fully converted. Bought this for a trip to France so we could go off exploring on the bikes. I was able to pre plan routes through garmin connect and had no worries about getting lost. GPS is accurate. Very tough quality build. The maps look a little basic but very usable and probably for the best when you're looking down on the move. Couple of annoying niggles but I'm sure that is more from me needing to learn the settings more. I love how simple it is. I didn't want something that even told me the gas pressure in my bowels. Just a sat nav, for my bike. That's all I wanted,and that is what this is. Battery life is great, IF you aren't on full brightness. The attachment isn't that great, I bought an out front one off temu and it's rock solid. Overall it's brilliant and great value.

Takes a while to get used to but useful on rides. Battery lasts for couple of rides but easily recharged. Clear display.

Écran au top : L'écran de 3 pouces est très lisible, même en plein soleil. La cartographie est claire et le tactile répond parfaitement, même avec des gants. Navigation intuitive : C’est son point fort. Le GPS est très réactif et les calculs d'itinéraires sont rapides. Les fonctions de sécurité (détection d'incidents, assistance) apportent une vraie sérénité lors des sorties en solo. Fonctions de santé utiles : Bien que plus orienté "balade/voyage", il intègre très bien les fonctions VO2 Max et le suivi des records personnels. C'est motivant de voir ses progrès sans avoir besoin d'un coach professionnel. Autonomie solide : Il tient largement mes sorties de la journée sans faiblir. Le couplage avec mon smartphone pour les notifications se fait en un clin d'œil.

Der Garmin Edge Explore 2 Fahrradcomputer ist ein tolles Gerät. Die Funktionen sind sehr umfangreich, d.h. man kann 10 Datenseiten individuell erstellen und somit den Computer auf die eingenen Bedürfnisse optimal einstellen. Allerdings erfordert die Bedienung ein wenig Einarbeitungszeit was bei mir aber nur wenige Stunden gedauert hat. Die Navigation funktioniert einwandfrei und auch die Neuberechnung der Route geht recht schnell, falls man mal die Route verlassen hat. Das aller Wichtigste für mich war aber dass man für den Computer kein Smartphone benötigt. Es gibt zwar einige Funktionen für die man ein Smartphone benötigt aber diese sind für mich nicht so wichtig. Total begeistert bin ich von der Internetseite Garmin Connect, wo man viele zusätzliche Informationen zu den aufgezeichneten Aktivitäten bekommt. Die alle zu beschreiben würde den Rahmen hier sprengen. Schade finde ich nur dass Linux-Systeme nicht unterstützt werden. Was mir aufgefallen ist, dass die Höhenangaben nicht immer korrekt sind. Dies hatte ich bemerkt als ich auf Garmin Connect mehrere Aktivitäten von der selben Strecke miteinander verglichen hatte, hier gab es Unterschiede von 20 Höhenmetern. Vielleicht liegt es aber auch daran dass ich nur im Flachland unterwegs bin, denn 20 Höhenmeter sind ja nicht wirklich viel und liegen evtl. im Bereich möglicher Messtoleranzen. Ich bin mit dem Gerät sehr zufrieden und kann mit gutem Gewissen eine Kaufempfehlung geben. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Tres bien, un peu compliqué au début a utiliser

Bra cykeldator till ett bra pris.
