Garmin Edge Explore GPS Cycle Computer is rated 3.6 out of 5 by 23.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Edge Explore - hit or miss Overall - very happy with the product. Navigation great and not worried about the lack of additional functions such as power meter support, Some criticisms, seem a little over the top, given the price. Battery power isn't great, but not insurmountable.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Poor battery life after one year Bought this to replace a broken Edge 1000. Initially impressed apart from lack of barometric altimeter meaning elevation figures for rides are way out. After 11 months the battery stopped lasting a whole 3 hr ride. Now, even with battery save mode on it struggles to last for a 3 hour ride.Having read around it it seems to be a common problem.It is now sadly just over 12 months so out of guarantee.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent GPS for Audax of long tours I was after a GOS that I could rely on for all day navigation, I don’t care too much about battery life as long as the device charges on the go then a power bank will look after power, and this little beauty does, if you have an out front mount then a charging lead can be plugged in to a power bank, I bought a £20 Anker power bank which I’ve used on a 14 hour ride and was still fully charged so a weekend would be no problem. It’s very easy to navigate, you can download GPX tracks, make your own, follow a postcode, or it can even give you a loop route to your choose of distance by choosing the most popular cycling routes in your area. I’ve tried Etex and other brands, this is by far the best for my needs, simple to use, I’ve not looked at any manual or instructions, it’s easy to use right out the box. Syncs with your smartphone and gives you notifications on calls texts etc, loads rides direct to Strava, Garmin Commute etc, it’s a bargain for what you get, would be nice if they supplied an out front mount but you can’t have everything.

What mounting hardware is included?

The Garmin website just says that ‘mounting hardware’ is in the box. Is this the just the stem mount, or the out-front as well? Thanks!

Mapping a route

Can I prepare a route on my PC and upload it to the Garmin for on route directions and if so, what mapping should/could I use?
Asked by: carlislemike
There are lots of programs, such as RidewithGPS, or Mapmyride which you can use to create routes, or open a route shared by other users. You then export a route file, and copy it into the Garmin . Some Sportive rides provide GPS files for you to use.

I like to cycle/tour in France. Would you recommend this device over the 520 plus for this purpose?

Asked by: BuzzCoombs
Both the Garmin Edge Explore GPS Cycle Computer and the Garmin Edge 520 Plus GPS Cycle Computer would be ideal for your purpose. The 520 Plus offers a great range of performance monitoring features including workouts, interval training and VO2 max. The Edge Explore on the other hand is more dedicated to navigation and features like it's larger, 3.0 inch touchscreen and on-device course creator may make it easier to live with on longer tours.
