I'd personally like the ability to adjust what is considered a climb. When it begins, it will bring up a new screen, which gives you a profile, with a few key details such as the average remaining gradient and distance. Firstly, it will prewarn you of an upcoming climb, along with its important metrics (distance, gradient, ascent, etc). Then you can simply open the app and ask it to redirect you back to that point.Д¬limbPro is a useful tool that tells you all the necessary information about upcoming climbs.

#Garmin 530 Bluetooth

Fear not, your phone will save the exact coordinates of the point at which the Bluetooth connection is lost. This offers peace of mind for us mountain bikers in the rare event where a crash could send your Garmin device into a nearby bush and out of sight, simply pull out your phone and, assuming you're still in Bluetooth range, you can tell your Edge 530 to sound an alarm.ДЄlso, should any chattery terrain unhitch your Edge 530, you mightn't notice until the end of the trail. Any time that your bike is close-by but not necessarily in line of sight - park your bike up, switch the bike alarm feature on, and should your Garmin detect movement, a loud (read: unpleasant) noise will sound and your phone will notify you. Like previous Edge models, it'll route-to-start, and the colour-coded map and audio cued make for simple, wrong-turn-free navigation.ДЄ nice touch is the Bike Alarm which works a treat when leaving your race bike in the car park while you nip to sign on, or merely stop at the pub after a few hours of shredding. Once a destination has been chosen (or if you're following a preloaded route) the routing itself is fantastic. It's no pinch-and-zoom, but you do quickly become comfortable and relatively fast. Map browsing uses three buttons two that control panning north or south, panning east or west, and zooming in and out, and a third button to switch between the three. For specific addresses and points of interest, you'll want the 830.Дue to the lack of a touchscreen, map browsing does take a lot of button presses.

The Edge 530 features full turn-by-turn navigation, although on the unit itself, you can only navigate as deep as street level. In real-world terms, this means a wrong turn will be flagged up and a re-route will be offered before you get to the bottom of the hill. By upgrading the processor, mapping is now fast and simple to use.

Turn-by-turn navigation was introduced to Garmin's Five series computers when they launched the Edge 520 Plus, so while mapping isn't brand new for the Edge 530, it has improved. The Edge 530 has added plenty of new features, from a cafГ©-stop bike alarm to the hang time feature that will tease the gnarly among us. That aside, the Garmin Edge 530 is pretty much 'set-and-forget' in its application exactly what users want from a GPS device.

A few days of manual intervention ensued before a hard-reset, a firmware update, an app-delete, and multiple 'forget this device' prompts eventually put paid to my initial headaches. However, after my first ride, my ride failed to upload. The out-of-box setup was actually very straightforward, the onscreen prompts and phone-pairing and wifi-connection processes were simple.

My period with the Garmin Edge 530 has been a largely enjoyable time, however I'd be lying if I said there weren't any hiccups. The display is crisp and clear, and even in low-light conditions with the backlight turned off, it's easy to see the metrics. The screen of the Garmin Edge 530 is small in comparison to the Edge 1030 or the Hammerhead Karoo, however, thanks to the 246x322 pixel resolution display, we didn't find it an issue.
