Enjoy bike GPS goodness in the backcountry. This kit bundles the 530 with Garmin’s Edge remote and mountain biking mount. Know where you’re going, on-road and off-road, without your phone. Pick a point on the map or load in a course and the Edge 530 gets you there with phone-free, turn-by-turn navigation. Trendline routing looks at other Garmin Connect user’s data for that area, to find the best rides and most efficient routes. Real-time Strava segment integration speaks to your competitive side, displaying nearby segments, showing how you compare to your PR and the current KOM or QOM. Live Tracking continues to evolve, with rider-to-rider pre-set messaging and real-time location displayed right on your Edge.
