GarminEdge 520 Plus(Return to Product Page)

I got this unit as a replacement for an Edge 820. The 820 had an almost unusable touch screen and I always wondered why they didnt have a 520 with mapping. Overall , the usability of the unit is great. The buttons positively move from one screen to the next in a deterministic way unlike fumbling with the touch screen. The mapping function is pretty good , I am able to upload routes from my iPhone or computer and it works pretty well. The only thing I wish it had was to navigate to a map point without actually physically being at the point and saving it. There is a work around which involves creating a route on a smartphone and uploading it to the unit. But you need a smartphone to do this.

Enough features for this novice cyclist. User guide could do better for linking speed & cadence sensors but after-market on-line help is available and very helpful.

Love how easy communication w/ strava app and all sensors (heart rate monitor and cadence sensor for me).

It could have been better if the screen is a little bigger

Have enjoyed this very much for better feedback.

I got the 520 Edge for Christmas 2018. Send out to repair USB connection last year and now the charging IC is broken. Probably beyond repair.

I loved it when it worked. Gone far to soon.

Functionally, a third grader could use this

Im am truly enjoying my new Garmin 520 plus it does everything my 1000 did and much more.
