Customer Reviews

Garmin Edge 520 Plus GPS Cycle Computer is rated 4.3 out of 5 by 86.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product Does just what it says on the box. Easy to set up and easy to use
Date published: 2021-02-16
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great bit of kit I bought this 520 plus thinking it was an entry model into the garmin world how wrong I was as this is not only great for beginners like me but having used this for a couple of months now it’s going to be great for the long term rider aswell.
Date published: 2021-02-13
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Highly recommended the 520 does everything i need so easy to use and set up, links with all sensors, live segment tracking, easy follow directions and not to big, after using the 1000 for 4yrs this little unit competes with it on most levels apart from not having a youth screen, but honestly doesn't affect it at all!
Date published: 2021-01-15
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Fab, if the price is right My Edge 130 of over 2 years started to fail on me this winter in the cold weather and could last more than 70 mins. Cue upgrade. Deliberated over which direction of bike computer to go with. I now ride with power, so going like for like wasn't ideal as power metrics are limited on the 130. The 130 plus and this were the same price (£160). Although this is older, it has more training metrics for me and does a very handsome job. Clunky UI, but I've used Garmins before so the short comings on this front came second nature.

Maps - which countries

Is the included map for the UK, Europe, other region? Thanks
Asked by: oxfordbiker2011
I cycled around Europe this year and all the countries I went through (UK, Scandinavia, Baltics, PL, DE, ND, BE, FR,ES) had maps. I then finished off my tour in Morocco and the map background wasn't working but the gpx route I'd downloaded onto the device still worked and I just had to follow a line without directions. I can only conclude it has Europe maps downloaded only, but I do believe it's possible to add different maps when connected to a computer. You'd have to google how to do this.

Why no 'in the box' information for the Garmin Edge 520 Plus..

...these details are provided for the earlier version of the product... Edge 520. The pictures in the product advert are misleading customers as to what might be coming with the product when bought.

Will this sync up with a Garmin watch?

Looking to buy this as a gift for someone who has a Garmin watch. Does this talk to the watch and does it store all the data on the Garmin app?
Asked by: LondonLisa
It is possible to display some data from the Garmin Edge 520 Plus on a watch when in use, however the watch cannot store data or transfer data to/from the Edge 520 Plus. You will need to use the Garmin Connect app for mobile or Mac/PC to transfer data from devices.
