Thanks a lot for this video.
You're the only one showing *real* navigation on all these devices, and this is the thing that matters the most for me.
Other channels rarely show "moving" tests, and when it's the case, we can't see anything on the device screen.
Have you the Edge 520 Plus in your pipeline ?
I would be very interested to compare this Edge Explore to the 520+ !
Thanks again.
Thanks for your feedback - glad you found the video helpful. I kinda skipped the Edge 520+ as I felt it was a bit of a been there done that device - IMHO it was too much like an 820 with buttons and no touchscreen so my videos wouldn't really show anything new. I'm sure its a great device as I love my 820 and its been my go to GPS for the last 2 years.
That is a fast bike ride!
Mine comes today...really excited to try it out on my first bike ride :-)
I have been watching a bunch of these trying to decide on a new computer. Thank you so much! They were really helpfull!
great video. its nice to see the garmin in action
I’m getting back into riding my bike after a number of years since. I’m considering this Garmin and for what I need it for, this is so awesome. I was considering using my phone, but after watching this video and a few others, I consider the Garmin my first choice. It’s a Winner! And for the value price, the Garmin quality way exceeds expectations.
Thanks for posting this video, great!
Best Wishes Always and Cheers!
This video is perfect! I really made my mind! I’ve been looking to buy a cycling gps for long time and it just clarified everything what I needed ! Thanks a loot
Ottimo video, proprio quello che cercavo. Grazie.
excellent review, the best ... I hope DC Rainmaker has given you a shout out
Beautiful!!!
Thank you!!
Great video showing how it works, many thanks. Why don't Garmin do one like this? It would help sell it.
holy crap music way too loud
Very helpful video! Can you maybe tell if the rerouting is any good? Fast? Slow? Thanks
When there is an upcomming turn does it alarm u when you are in the elevation screen?
Thank you
Awesome video!! I've been looking at computers for months now and doing my research. I somehow just found out about this Garmin Edge Explore last week, and I'm absolutely BLOWN AWAY by the price. If somebody doesn't' use a power meter then I don't know why anybody would buy any other computer. Wahoo Elemnt Bolt is the same exact price and looks like a junky child's toy compared to what you get on this Garmin. And the Bolt doesn't even have mapping built in. Ripoff!! I'm buying this one next week!!!! Thanks again for the video!!!!
Thanks for the feedback and glad you found the demo helpful. It's definitely good value as a navigational GPS (if you're not so interested in performance metrics) - particularly when compared to the Edge 1030 at double the price. Its horses for courses though as the Bolt is still quite good at navigating courses - check out the video on my channel.
@@VELOGPSTHEINNERTUBE Worth noting the bolt cannot auto re-route.
Can you charge it whilst riding? Is the charging port accessible whilst it's mounted in other words. I want to use a powerbank in a top tube bag on particularly long rides.
Garmin say it is haven't tried it myself
Hi there, good video and informative. I wonder however if rerouting is an option on this device? If so, then it would have been nice to see you deviate from the loaded course and see how it would handle rerouting you back on track.
Yes it is. It can also provide you with options for rerouting if desired
This is helpful. Did you put this in your car or motorcycle. I find the Garmin Nuvi to be horrible on battery life.. so if my bike computer could be also my motorcycle gps.. that would be awesome
It was filmed from a car as its impossible to film the screen on a bike (pedal) and get good image quality.
Are the audible turn alerts just a beep or are they spoken words as in "turn left in 200m"
Just beeps
You can make it speak via your phone
Can you do one for the watches? I just got the Fenix 3hr and I'm looking at the Instinct and nobody has a video like this with the navigation
Sadly I don't currently have access to an Instinct - I may well do a Fenix 5x video at some point later this year.
does this gives voice commands via bluettooth so you dont have to look at the screen?
Yes it can through your phone
Great video, very helpful. You're on wrong lane though ;)
Glad you found it useful 👍
Dude, I think this video was made in England or somewhere where cars drive on the left side. We Americans drive on the right side whereby the on coming traffic is on the left.
Yeah I know, it’s a trip to see that huh?
Just saying....
@@fabulousrobert6607 man just made a joke, don't you see the smile at the end
Hello. Garmin explorer or 530 ?? Whats the best choice?
Depends on your cycling preferences. You can create courses on the explore wheras you need to create them on an online mapping tool and upload them to the 530. The 530 has more data options than the explore. Explore has a bigger screen and is touch screen wheras the 530 uses buttons. For me, having used pretty much all the current cycle GPS I have the 530 on my bars at the moment - its the sweet spot of price vs functions.
Is this the model without the strava and power integration? And, was that available in UK?
The Explore doesn't have power meter integration or strava live segments - you can still upload to strava and use strava routes. To put it simply its a dumbed down 1030 with a slightly smaller screen and not all of the performance metrics but at MUCH cheaper price (currently about £165 in the UK if you know where to look). Its a pretty good option if you want a decent screen, the basic metrics and good navigation.
@@VELOGPSTHEINNERTUBE Lucky. When I saw them reviewed It was perfect for me except I'm in Aus and they didn't bring them here. Bummer.
@@VELOGPSTHEINNERTUBE great video, really useful for me to see, can i ask where they're being sold at £165? thanks
Halfords had then around £180 ish at one point as hey had price matched a competitor. If you are a british cycling member you can get 10% off halfords as well. They are not currently that price at Halfords but worth keeping an eye in future.
@@VELOGPSTHEINNERTUBE thank you, and thanks again for the video, you are one of the many heroes of youtube, i notice the add on maps are very expensive, what is the one it comes with like? are most roads on it?
This GPS can also be used on a car or on a motorbike?
you can set it to use roads only, but I don't think it will use motorways and may even route away from a roads. there are apps for it, not sure if any would fix that.
As you may have guessed it looks as if this was filmed from within a car
@@andrewnorris5415 lol i was wondering that, doing 27mph on a steep Gradient
What's the difference between the Edge eg 520 and the Explore? The map seems pretty much the same.
I believe the 520 is all push buttons and Explore is touch screen mainly with a few buttons. Explore has music capabilities too. I was checking all of them out online and purchased the Explore 2 because it has everything the 1040 has except the "performance" features which I will never use because I only bike for fun and mainly will only be using the music widget and maps.
@@GlobalAdventurer I did exactly the same thing..a nice 3 inch screen that tells me everything I need at a lower price point..I even brought a black cover to protect it as well as give it an all black look...lol
Just purchased from Amazon £184 free shiping
Just found it cheaper @ Halfords £174.78 should have looked further
And if you were a british cycling member you can have another 10% off through Halfords !!
I think this is worth the extra £70 over the edge 130
Really informative, smart video. Thanks. But this music 🤦🏻♂️🙂....sort of and loudness.
If you want to record how much you have climbed do not buy one of these as the under record by about a third on ever ride. Sadly I should have had my money back and not another unit .
I have always taken the elevation readings of any GPS (garmin or otherwise) with a pinch of salt. The Explore doesn't have a barometric altimeter - according to DC Rainmaker its GPS based with post upload correction. I typically auto correct all my rides on Strava once uploaded (regardless of which device I'm using (garmin, wahoo etc) - but who knows who actually has it right ?
I understand none of them can be spot on but when my old 800 recorded 6000ft of climbing in 70 miles to Dover which Garmin Connect did not change but the Explore only recorded 4000ft which Connect updated to 6000. Unless some thing has changed with Strava it would not update the feet climbed with my Explore data. I rang Garmin help desk and I am not the only one ringing moaning about the unit.
A Garmin who's main selling point is that it allows you to navigate from within the device....but nope. You decide to load the route in Garmin connect just like all the others.🤦♂
Sorry bud, this ones just a showcase of what the device actually looks like in use.
Thanx for the video, terrible and too loud music, had to watch muted.
This music is annoying! Far Lauder then your voice!
Feedback always welcome - I hadn't noticed any sound level issues when editing so i'll have to keep an eye on that.
Just watched this very helpful video but I have to say I had an incredible urge to switch off because of the annoying music .
Please don't use that music again.
