I got a geoid for $50. Works great with my ant+ sensors

Community Reviews

The Edge Explore 2 is a navigation focused Garmin bike computer that pairs well with Varia and ANT plus sensors, while also handling basic ride stats and dynamic routing. It feels like a simpler Edge 1040, with a newer touch interface and a larger screen that works well for recreational riding and offloading navigation from a phone. The main tradeoffs are shorter battery life than MIP based models and fewer advanced training metrics, plus no dedicated mountain bike mode. It is also the least expensive Garmin bike computer in this range, though some cheaper alternatives exist.

I purchased this last year for $50 off... any case they sent me an European version and had some issues with updating my software, but once got that taken care of, it's been working fine.

If be all over a model like this if the geoid wasn't an option but after picking a geoid up for my power meter equipped commuter bike, I just can't justify $200+ for a computer anymore, despite some of the small quirks and lack of memory on the geoid.

Why is the $199 price at home depot? Doesn't exactly seem like something they'd sell, but it's been a while since I've been there. Are they an electronics store now, too?

Based on reviews on Amazon, most say it works, some said it didn't for them. So I passed on it because of this, and just got the Explore 2 since my multiple Garmin Edge devices always worked with my Varia.

How does this compare to the Edge 540/840?

size wise this is like an edge1040 without all the training features (Strava, etc), but if you only need navigation I think its a good deal. I just got an edge 1040 for $350 (special closeout situation) and that was a great price so $180 for this is a pretty good price IMO if you don't need the advanced training stuff. and if you happen to already have a Garmin watch that includes all the training stuff, putting the two together will give you the same thing as the more expensive computers.

DC rainmaker has a good comparison https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2022/...eview.html

I looked around a couple months ago, and I believe the Explore 2 has shorter battery life (partly because of the MIP/TFT) and doesn't provide some of the "advanced" features/metrics (workout plan, training status, etc.). I think at one point, the Explore line didn't have dynamic routing, but it apparently does now.

I personally prefer a MIP screen for battery life and better visibility in direct sun, but for someone looking to offload navigation from their phone and get basic stats on their rides, I think you could do a lot worse than an Explore 2 for $180, especially if you're already in the Garmin ecosystem with a watch or something.

I picked this up to replace my 530 that I lost.

Frankly, it does 90% of what my 530 did, but has the newer interface that's easier to use with the touch screen.

The only thing I personally was missing was 30s and 60 second average power (the only data field was instant and 3s), but I installed a ConnectIQ app for that field.

That said, it doesn't have a dedicated MTB mode (off-road profile comes into Strava as Gravel) and lacks some of the MTB metrics. For me, I just recreationally ride MTB, so I don't care about any of that and the larger screen makes up for it.

Yeah I heard people switching over from garmin and loving the geoid. I haven't tried navigation on it just yet but it seems to have coordinate data when the activities get uploaded to strava so that's a good sign.

Yeah same as what the other guy said about amazon reviews. I don't have a varia so I'm not a reliable source.
