Garmin Edge 520 is a terrific GPS bike computer for serious riders

 

If you're a competitive rider, the Edge 520 has plenty to offer you.

Accurately measures speed, distance, route and altitude of your rides with GPS. Water-resistant. Long battery life. Can display phone notifications. Automatically uploads workouts.

Doesn't work with Bluetooth accessories. No Wi-Fi or turn-by-turn navigation. Screen can be difficult to see in direct sunlight. The interface is confusing to navigate.

Accurate, full of features and supporting a ton of accessories, the Garmin Edge 520 is a great GPS bike computer for competitive riders.
