...the Edge reperesents a realisteic, compact entry into the worls of GPS. Before you start rolling, the Edge needs to be given an unexposed, stationary minute in the great outdoors before aquisition and logging of your every move.
An addded bonus of recording speed, distance and average via GPS is that it also logs exactly where you've been not just how quickly you get there. Save your ride in the form of a Track Log then simply upload to something like Memory-Map, Anquet or Garmin's own MapSource digital mapping and your rout's drawn on screen. Marking specific points along the way allows you to accuratley recap on a highlight area, even if you had no idea where you were on paper.
The size of an oversixe bike computer, quick release brackets position the Edge neatly on either bar or stem and the fairly intuitive interface can be toggled through fairly easily. once you've logged a track in the memory, you can opt to navigate it on screen with simple direction markers. Or if you simply want to back-track the last few weeks of riding, the history automatically records every outing. A training section allows you to go up against a virtual partner, or set up some specific workouts.
In conclusion...
For real accuracy from your bike computer combined with GPS training and additional training aids, the Edge is a tough act to follow.
