Garmin Edge® Explore 2, Easy-To-Use GPS Cycling Navigator, eBike Compatibility, Maps and Navigation, with Safety Features
- Nicely added features to the Garmin Edge 2. Added a Training mode which I have hooked up to a Kinetic Smart 2 Fluid Trainer. Now outdoor and indoor riding is almost seemless. Racking up the miles/kilometers!!
- I fully understood that I was buying a BASIC GARMIN unit and got the features I expected which was excellent navigation and POI searches
- I prefer this over the Garmin 500 series devices.
- The GPS battery life is only average. I get about 8 or 9 hours out of it, but I am using the Garmin Varia 515 with it which makes it use more battery. The user interface is confusing. It is sometimes hard to get back to the screen with the miles and speed display. You can slide up or down or side to side to get to different screens. Screen would be better if it only went from side to side and not up and down. Screen is laggy when you try to move the map. It is way slower than my cell phone to move map around. The user experience reminds me of a 2007 smart phone. It looks like windows 95. The screen is definitely not nice looking like a modern cell phone. Make sure to set the screen backlight to 30 seconds or so. If you leave it to always on battery only lasts about 4 hours.
- Unfortunately I did not use this the first few weeks I had it and have gone past the 30 day return deadline to Amazon.I noticed the first couple times I used it that the battery \'meter\' when down very quickly, like to 50% after only a couple hours.Went for an approx 6 hour ride and battery warning came on at 5 hours. Luckily I was at a stop and was able to grab a portable USB charger to finish my ride.I have ridden with it for a couple week and have been REALLY disappointed in battery life ( the reason I purchased was to replace a weak battery on another 5 year old garmin ) unit.This morning I was out on a really cold AM ride ( yes I know cold kills batteries ) BUT this thing was down to 2% an hour into my ride after an all night charge.I AM VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS PRODUCT AND WISH I HAD NOT PURCHASED IT. I will go back to my old OLD Garmin Edge 520 Plus and just take a charger along.I WISH THAT I COULD RETURN THIS AND GET MY MONEY BACK - HELP AMAZON - HELP GARMIN. I would be happy to test another unit to see if performs any better.AND - tried to call Garmin Support today - a Saturday - and they are not open - TERRIBLE!!!
- Use for recreational bike riding. As a senior my wife and I enjoy biking and keeping track of mileage, routes, speed and a few other metrics. This unit is a replacement for a Garmin 520 which I never became fully comfortable with. The explore 2 is very intuitive and thus a pleasure to use. Nice big screen that is easy to read in all conditions.
- Moved up from an Edge 130, mostly for the music control widget. I like to know what track is playing, and getting the phone out of a jersey pocket repeatedly was inconvenient. I had a hard time finding the music control widget because the computer was shipped with an old operating system that didn\'t include it; took some troubleshooting and downloading Garmin Express to figure it out.The climbing feature is nice, but some of the text is small for my old eyes. Also nice is the auto backlight when riding through tunnels and at night. The unit came with all of the US map preloaded -- impressive.Lots of wasted real estate for the unit; the display area is surrounded by a lot of unused area, making the computer very large for what it is, and it\'s also pretty hefty. A more muted color would have been nice.Edit: changed rating from 4-stars to 2-stars. For older riders with progressive sunglasses, the display is hard to read in indirect light. The battery level is not linear: goes from 8 hours to zero within 3 hours; also, battery life even without navigation is about the same as the Edge 130.
