Review on Garmin Edge Explore - Advanced Touring Bike Computer with Connected Features, 010-02029-00 by Brian Garrett

Cannot be used. - Bike GPS Devices

User interface is terrible. When I stopped at a traffic light, he stopped following. And it didn't restart automatically when I started driving again. Other Garmin products will continue automatically. Instead, there was a big button that allowed me to toggle between two options: save ride or exit. But there was no way to restart. There were smaller buttons that I couldn't read while driving. So I stopped. Now I could see that there was a button at the top that said "Continue". So I struck. Nothing has happened. Then I noticed that there was a padlock icon in the bottom left. The unlock instructions were again in text, too small to read while cycling, but required using the power button. After a few more buttons and selections, I started tracking again, but it reset my mileage. There are other similar UI issues. I'm wondering if the person who designed the UI ever rode a bike?

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Doubtful
