GPS recommendations?
« on: August 12, 2025, 07:53:06 pm »
Hey y’all!

I’m getting all my gear together for my first tour. I’m wanting to have a bike gps for navigation as I don’t trust myself to not miss turns while using a paper map. I found a Garmin Edge Touring ($100) and Garmin Edge 520 with Mount ($125) on Facebook Marketplace. I’m gonna be buying the ACA routes that I’ll be using and I was wondering if anybody has experience with either of these GPS and could make a recommendation.
Thanks!

The Garmins work fine and have very good battery life.

I think the ergonomics are kind of hinky and there is a learning curve to get to know their quirks.  So make sure you use it for three or four days before going on a long tour.
