Garmin Edge 510

With the Edge 510, Garmin brings touchscreen technology to their mid-priced 500 series.

But a revamped user interface is just the beginning. The Edge 510 delivers all the GPS enabled functions of its predecessor, along with brand new "connected" features to push your cycling experience to the next level.

The Edge 510 still tracks distance, speed, and altitude via GPS, just like the 500. But where this new computer really stands out is in its ability to offer live tracking, auto uploads to social networking sites, Bluetooth/smart phone connectivity, and weather alerts -- features Garmin calls part of their new "Connected" family. The Edge 510 also supports activity profiles, allowing you to configure data and settings based on which your bike riding and which terrain is on the itinerary.

The 510 touchscreen display has been designed for easy operation with full fingered gloves and is built tough enough to withstand off-road abuse.

This Edge 510 base model includes the head unit and basic accessories only (see below), but is compatible with Garmin's heart rate strap, cadence sensor, and ANT+ compatible devices, all of which are sold separately. A bundled version which includes heart rate and cadence accessories is available separately as well.
