Currently an "ending soon" 13% discount at Evans with IPSE Advantages (if you're a member) - might add to the business case for getting now rather than later!

Edge Explore 1000
Article from the ever reliable DC Rainmaker on Edge Explore 1000 vs. Edge 1000
Garmin releases new Edge Explore 1000 Edition: Tells your friends when you crash into a ditch | DC Rainmaker
Re Speed and cadence sensors. I believe that the Edge defaults to using GPS for speed, so speed sensor only relevant for turbo training / indoor cycling.
With my paired android phone, crash detection doesn't remember preferred number for emergency contact, so have to redo every time, which sends a text to recipient every time!
Also you'll need a compatible Heart Rate monitor. I found my old one didn't work with Edge Explore 1000 and annoying you can't take HR from a Garmin watch and send to Edge.

What? What does one of these things cost? Thousands?
Why didn't you just buy it? Why does it need consultation?

thanks, now my confusion, on Amazon the
Edge 1000 Explore is more expensive than the Edge 1000
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Garmin-Expl...rmin+edge+1000
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Garmin-Edge...rmin+edge+1000
But on Garmin's website the Edge 1000 Explore is cheaper than the Edge 1000
Is the Edge 1000 on Amazon an old model they are trying to clear, or is it a "good" deal
Milan.
Evans do free next working day delivery, Wiggle charge for next day, but you get Haribos in every order
If you have an Evans store near you it could be worth giving them a ring to see if they have one in stock and just going and getting it. You'll be able to ask any questions about using it/ setting it up etc as well.

Save yourself a few quid and get a Garmin 810 ?
I've got the 800 and it's great (but no longer sold).
I have s/w installed on my PC which can generate a Garmin compatible map of the whole UK using OpenStreetMap data. Lob that on a memory card and you've got free UK map coverage* on the unit.
* quality/detail of the OSM data does vary of course!
