GarminEdge 530 MTN Bundle GPS Computer(Return to Product Page)

Excelent tool for riding do not ride with out it

This has some nice updates, but I miss the specific bike profiles of the 510. The only way for it to read a different bike is if you have a different ANTBluetooth sensor on that bike.

Works fine. A step up from the smaller models.

I hate to say that I have not had time to learn all it can do! But as a bike computer, it is awesome. Easy to read and customize. Can't wait to start using the navigation components!

Easy to read, great battery life, precise GPS navigation and smooth integration into the iPhone... couldn ask for any more.

Used for long distance riding.

i love using the new Garmin 520, it has everything the 520 has Plus the slightly toned down maps of the 820. overall i like the new maps it comes with. wish the screen was slightly bigger but it fine overall. Also has a slightly updated data fields which look great.

Great upgrade from the 520 which only fault was battery life. Typical Garmin learning curve needed.

For most of us this computer has everything that we need

Does what it is suppose to do. Long battery life, syncs up quickly, lots of features.

Had it for about a month. Love how easy it works.

A great small computer. Enough features for me. Use the map feature weekly.

The 830 Plus is a great computer. It is fast, it has a a good screen size, and the screen interface is superb. I don�t see a need for the larger 1030 Plus.

In traffic it is invaluable. I am use to using my helmet mirror but this easier and safer as it is hard to see the road and use the helmet mirror

Daily and training rides, once you get it set up....it's sweet. DI2 functions are wonderful, I have downloaded two different centuries...great stuff Garmin!

The 830 is what I was hoping for when I previously got the 820. The touchscreen actually works and the faster processor is sooooo much better.

I replaced my old 500 with the 520 plus after trying the 820 out. The 520 is easy to setup and use. I mapec out an 8 day 400mile ride no glitches at all.

I went from an edge 510 to this and couldn't be happier with it. I haven't ridden on the road with it yet so I can't speak for how the road mapping works, but on the trails, it is awesome. It has the trails preloaded on the device so it tells you what trails are coming up at as you approach splits in the trail. That means no more stopping to use the trailforks app on my phone to make sure I am going on the right path for new trails I haven't ridden. One thing my 510 has that I haven't figured out on the 530 is the ability to label specific bikes. I'm not saying it doesn't have it for sure, I just haven't figured out how to do it or not does have it. I ride MTB, road, fat, tt, and cross and have sensors on all my bikes. On the 510 I would select which bike it was and the sensors would sink up as long as I didn't forget to do it before I started the ride. Speed was always recorded at least by GPS, and by the sensor if I had one on that specific bike, if I forgot to select the bike it would recognize the cadence or power sensors for example and wouldn't record that data. So far what I have noticed on the 530 is the bike choices are set up more like genres like road, MTB, gravel, etc. I am hoping that since I have paired all the various sensors to the unit that it will automatically connect to the sensors once I get going. It is winter now so I am only riding my fat bike so I haven't been able to determine if that is the case. I will admit that I haven't invested much time into playing around with it because I just assumed it would work like the 510, well it doesn't so I need to put some time into learning more about it. The Bluetooth seems to have better functionality than the 510 especially with call and text notifications.

The Edge 530 has been excellent--it provides really usable data, the ability to customize screens to give me just what I want to see while I'm riding, and easy connectivity with HR strap and my trainer when I use it indoors. It has been an excellent training tool and a way to log my workouts, let my family know where I am on the trail, and more. The bundle gave me everything I needed to outfit three bikes--my mountain bike (with the MTB-specific mount) as well as a road bike and my tri bike.

Takes a bit to learn how to quickly get the information from it that you want while out on the trail, but once you use it a few times it becomes easy to use. I use it almost exclusively mountain biking. Love the trail forks feature. On the road the navigation/map function is quite useful, but I've only been on the road a few tin times with it. GPS is much more accurate than my phone which is helpful on the mountain bike due to all the tight turns as compared to being on the road. Very happy!
