- Perfect screen size and functionality. Does what I need done and a lot more. I am surprised at how well it performs regardless of the extreme dirt road conditions I put the bike through. The data is easily downloaded for analysis. The satellite capture is reasonably quick, and the accuracy is quite impressive. Seems to handle rainy days rather well and I see no screen distortion during hot days so far. This was a recommendation from a friend, and I too recommend this product. It\'s big enough to read the screen with ease and small enough to blend with the bicycle. I have not done any riding at night so I can\'t offer an opinion of how well the screen background looks in the dark. Once the sun goes down, I make sure I am back from the trails in the woods because I don\'t want to run into the cocaine bear hiding in the bushes.
- Finally, Garmin got their heads straight and started releasing gear that wasn’t meant to replace the smartphone, but could complement it. This is a great follow-up to the Edge 500, with all the same features plus some nice navigational extras, a bluetooth feature that you can turn entirely off (thank goodness), and a more modern type of USB port. It’s also a lot lighter than the 500, making it more likely to survive a drop. I was very skeptical of Garmin’s newer hardware and stuck with the 500 for a very long time, but this little thing finally obsoletes it. It’s the same always-on, long-lasting, easy to see, set-and-forget device I’m used to.I thought I might upgrade to the Edge 530. Nope. The interface on the 530 is an absolute train-wreck. It has six buttons all around it, irregularly placed by design, and it’s completely impossible to remember which button does what in each context. They have no spatial correlation with the interface, and no consistency. Every time the button layout confused me - which was constantly - I felt a little burst of hate, in the middle of what was otherwise a very pleasant bicycling ride. I hated it as much as I totally love the Edge 130, which is a lot indeed.Here’s what the Edge 130 gives me:* Constant, set-and-forget recording of my location, for the entire day.* A trip-timer telling me how long I’ve been on the bike.* How far I’ve traveled for the day.* The time.* A rough estimate of the altitude, and of the ambient temperature.* My current speed.* A bunch of other statistics that I haven\'t configured.All this info is supplied in bold readable numbers, all the time, at-a-glance. It\'s readable in the shade and in the brightest direct sunlight. I do not need to poke any buttons to get this info, it\'s just there. I don\'t need to tap or unlock a phone display or take my hands off the bars at all.Plus, the device synchronizes quickly with standalone software like Rubitrack, charges rapidly, and has an impressively secure twist-mount for my handlebars. And, the battery life is outstanding. I have turned this thing on in the morning, taken it 80 miles on a bicycle, then gone to bed without remembering to turn it off, and found it still gleefully tracking away when I got up in the morning, with the timer at 18+ hours.Oh hey, and if I start out in the morning and discover that the battery is dead, I can plug it into the hub on my bicycle and the tiny bit of energy the hub makes is enough to recharge it fully in half an hour!This is only a minor upgrade compared to the Edge 130, but hey, why mess with a good thing? It’s small, long-lasting, readable, and accurate enough. I could try and get my phone to constantly record a GPS track and report speed and time and distance, but the battery would drop like a rock. This does that job way better. Long live the Edge 130 series!
- Simple to operate, tracks everything you need and it\'s a nice compact size.
- I was on the market for a simple GPS unit that would display some basic info during my MTB rides. I looked at cheaper options, including XOSS G+ and IGPSPORT iGS10, but eventually ended up buying the Garmin Edge 130 Plus for the following 3 reasons:1. Ability to customize the display and show all and only the parameters useful to me (speed, distance, ride time, time of day, total ascent, total descent)2. Ability to display notifications from my phone (text, whatsapp, incoming calls)3. Ability to load a GPX track and follow it (basic navigation), useful if you\'re trying a new trail you have seen on Trailforks or Strava, or a friend shared with you.Overall I\'m happy with the purchase, it does what I need, but I took away 2 stars for the following reasons:1. Price. Yes it does more than the other GPS units I mentioned, but it does cost 4-5 times more. The Edge 130 is definitely overpriced at $200.2. Complexity. Sometimes, more is not better. I have no use of all the fitness functions, like schedule, workouts, racing segments, training calendars, VO2 Max, recovery time, IQ features, hydration, heart rate zones, power zones, challenges, health stats, performance stats, courses, segments, laps, and so on... they simply add complexity in the menus of the device and - particularly - in the app. At the very least, give us the option to completely hide/disable those functions. I do acknowledge that for some people these are important features, but I think they are overkill on a small unit like this.3. User interface / buttons. For whatever reason, they are not intuitive. It\'s also a consequence of having too many options, but the basic functionalities (start/pause/stop/save) should ALL require 1 push of a button, not more. Example: to start a ride you need turn on the unit, then press the start button once, confirm or select the ride type (Road/Commuting/Mountain, etc) then press again to start the clock. Another example: to save a ride, you press the start/stop button, then scroll down to Save Ride and press again. Last example: to turn it off, you need to press the power button, then again confirm power off. How about using long press a shortcut? Long press start = start a ride with the previous settings. Long press stop = save the ride. Long press power = power off. It\'s not that complicated, is it???4. No user-replaceable battery.[UPDATE 04/26/2021] I\'ve been using the Edge 130 for a while now, and decided to add back 1 star. It works really well, and buttons are starting to make sense. Navigation is excellent, despite the small screen: I create my courses in an external GPX editor, import them into Garmin Connect and finally load them on the Edge (I do all this on a Windows PC, with the Edge connected via USB). When you\'re following a course, you can zoom in/out and the unit will keep that zoom level for the entire ride. This is very useful for mountain biking, as the default zoom level doesn\'t provide nearly enough detail when you\'re on a trail.[UPDATE 06/24/21]Back to 3 stars. The Courses page on the Edge 130, for some mysterious reason, cuts the course names after 16-17 characters, instead of using the full width of the (already small) screen. If you have several courses, it becomes difficult to distinguish them if the names are cut short, so you need count the characters when you name your courses, and resort to abbreviations (e.g. \"Blk Mtn 2 Hdgs - S\" instead of \"Black Mountain to Lake Hodges - Short\". End of the world? No. Annoying? A bit, yes.I reached Garmin Support and - long story short - I could not get them to move from the \"it works as intended\" response, which of course completely misses the fact that, the way it was intended does not really work well.I suggested to use the full width of the screen (duh) and possibly to add right-to-left scrolling when a course is highlighted, so that even longer names could be displayed in full. Nothing, it was like speaking to a wall.
