Top piece of kit for cycling
The Garmin Edge 500 is a bit of an old war horse in cycling but it comes with a weakness that won’t let you use it with a power pack.
*** Top Tip ***
Use an ‘OTG adapter’ with ‘usb to usb cable’ and now you can use the Edge 500 with a power pack.
Doing the above means this unit now works as a cycling GPS that can see you through a long long ride.
Add to the mix the fact this unit can use ANT+ to pair with optional extras such as a cadence sensor and a chest strap Heart Rate Monitor means you now have a vast array of ‘metrics’ available to ‘drill into’ and check your performance.
The Edge 500 can also use ‘courses’ and direct you on your cycle routes.
It’s a small unit with an amazing array of measurements such as time, temp, speed, distance, rpm, bpm.
I’d say it was an amazing piece of kit when it came out and the option to buy one should not be overlooked because it’s ‘old tech’.
