Darren van Deventer Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Hi guys I am looking at purchasing a bike gps that has navigation due to one of the events I am entering this year. I am looking for a basic model that has navigation as an aditional feature, I dont want to go over the top with price as I am looking at upgrading my bike soon too so something cheap small and reliable, any opinions? Thanks in advance for the feedback
ScottCM Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Edge 500, used it for the Dusi2C. Edge 200 also has the breadcrumb technology from my understanding but that doesn't have the ability to connect to Heart rate monitor or cadence / speed sensors.

LongDonkey Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 A smart phone? I never looked into downloading routing apps. Battery life could be a problem though.

EmptyB Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 The cheaper the betterSo that rules out the Edge 810 then....

TK-Sp3cialiSt Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 There are a few second hand Garmin units available in the Classifieds, the 500 and above have navigation functions
NixM Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Having secured a late entry into S2C I realise I now need a GPS to navigate - not my strongest point (navigation nor technology). I have a Garmin Fenix (1st gen) - will this work with breadcrumb technology or do I need to get the 500 edge? {I did email Easybike as suggested on S2C website but have not had a response.}
NixM Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Easybike just emailed me back- the Fenix will work
Rob Mortimer Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Bryton 40 or 60 work fine for those events as well (don't know the others, we used these 2 last year)
