GarminEdge 530 Bundle GPS Computer(Return to Product Page)

I've been using a Garmin 820 for years, and learned to accept the glitchy touch screen sensitivity, display limitations and cluttered look of many of the pages. The 830 represents a vast improvement on all counts - it is simply a joy to use. Even the charging port cover is more robust!

screen is perfect size for my garbage eyes without feeling like i have an ipad on my bars. easy to use. great data.

Simply Awesome performance and data compilation

This is one of the most affordable, feature-packed ride computers on the market. Proven technology, rugged construction, reliable performance. I use this computer on a regular basis for ride of 20 to 60 miles. I can't think of anything I don't like about it, because it is perfect for me.

Replacing a 13 y.o. Unit. Now that I'm older, don't need so many bells and whistles but still not lacking in features! Bought 2 so we could share stats.

I upgraded my display to allow vaira gps to be on the screen. The software in the 830 atomically installed every extra i was using riding. This impressed me!!

Excelent tool for riding do not ride with out it

A little tricky to set up at first, but very comfortable later on.

Love all the features on this Garmin!! I use it on all three of my bikes Road Gravel and Mountain bikes. Bought it on deal of the day saved 25 percent.

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.

Easy to setup with the fields you want to use. Navigation is intuitive. Unit is just a little larger than the 500.

Works fine. A step up from the smaller models.

I don't know what I did without it. That said, the buttons feel strange and are sometimes hard to feel or press, and the menus can be a pain to get through.

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

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.

Decent value as you get what you pay for. Navigating menus with the side buttons is a little clunky but it works.

Big upgrade from my worn out Edge 520. Better display. Usable maps. Much better battery life.

After suffering a recent heart problem, my doctor prescribed more daily exercise . I wanted something to help me monitor my progress and after much research I decided on the Garmin 520 with heart rate monitor and its great. Much to my surprise the bundle included different mounting brackets, so now I can switch from mountain bike to road to trainer, very quickly and ride. Great value for entry level device.

The Edge 520 is a good multi-function computer that's been a big help to me on rides for the past month since I got it.... having speed, distance, elevation, heart rate and more is a very good thing. My main complaints are three-fold control buttons, start-stop, and set-up. 1) Control buttons - can be cumbersome at times, are sometimes hard to 'get' on the first push, sometimes scrolling can be a pain in the ass to get where you want to get, touch screen sure would be nice! 2) Start-stop - having to push the 'start' button to begin the timer, then stop it at the end or, worse yet, during a break, is a pain in the A-double-S. Having it auto-startstop would sure be nice. 3) Set-up - the manual included doesn't do much to help get you going, you have to go on-line and even then, the on-line help is lacking at times, connecting with Strava takes a bit of work. Okay, I guess I need to sit down and take the time to really figure it all out, but get ready for some definite initial set-up time, if you've never had a Garmin-typed device before (like me), this can seem a bit daunting. Would I recommend it? Yes. But if you have a friend who can help you out at the beginning, don't be shy! Ask for help! You'll be glad you did.....

well wouldn't you know the new upgraded version came out 2 weeks after I got this one. Oh well. Works great but once in a while it just turns itself off. I guess everyone knows Garmin always has bugs.
