5.0 out of 5 stars Such an improvement on the first explore.

D. · 29 November 2024

So, I've owned the Explore ONE since 2019. I used it extensively (4,000 miles per year) since then, but unfortunately it was damaged in a crash. Bike was written off too 😭.Because I loved it, I brought the explore TWO. I was surprised by the increased speed in navigation, a few extra features (like music control and climb pro) and the better responsen to touch.No it will not have the premium data fields the a training cyclist might want and need (I previously own an edge 500 series model). However, if you're not training for races and want a fantastic navigation system that's easy to use and shows the majority of fields. This is it.Speed, grade, elevation, cadence (need sensor), weather, power (if you own a power meter you can definitely afford the more expensive edge), heart rate (need sensor), time elapsed, distance are all shown. There really isn't anything else needed. In my opinion, this unit is better for navigation than the 500 and 800 edge series.For the price, compared to all the other cycling computers out there, this is the best bang for buck for navigation purposes.

5.0 out of 5 stars No frills, for reasonable cost.

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but could be a lot better

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great bit of kit for the adventure cyclist

This is my first cycling computer with maps that I have purchased, being an experienced road cyclist I have never really needed a map option as I just liked to ride on feeling but I took the plunge and now I can plan and plot my route so I can take in different places on a long ride the distance is clear and concise with enough warning displays and bleeps to keep you busy , battery life is reasonable and it is charged by a USB , , it’s very easy to set up with the Garmin connect app and in all yes these can be expensive but well worth the money if you don’t need all the training apps supplied on the more expensive Garmins . P.S I also purchased the silicon case just for more safety.

Brilliant piece of kit. Really good directions and does tracks as well as roads. Even recalculates if you change your mind during a route. Fitted easily to handlebar and twist fitting is very secure. Gives you all the stats you want like height, distance, speed etc.

Super licznik rowerowy. Można dostosować ekran do swoich potrzeb, mapa czytelna. Ponieważ jeżdżę na różnych rowerach można dostosować trasy i do jazdy szosowej jaki i terenowej. GPS szybko łapie a rysowanie przebytej trasy jest dobre.

Garmin Edge Explore 2

Pour moi qui fait du vélo plus pour des balades de loisirs, éventuellement du cyclotourisme, ce GPS est parfait.Pour moi, pas besoin de multiples informations sportives. Je peux déjà surveiller ma fréquence cardiaque avec ma ceinture donc faire attention à ne pas dépasser mes limites. Important pour ma santé.L'envoi d'un message d'urgence à une personne de son choix en cas de chute est très bien.Il remplace mon ancien Edge Explore qui, après de longs kilomètres de bons et loyaux services, a lâché.Assez simple à utiliser. Parfait pour moi !

Tolles Gerät

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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
