ImaginableCons: Premium over Edge 830; no phone-based data screen setupThe Edge 1030 Plus gives you every single feature you could ever want in a bike computer with the same format, but an updated processor and an improved touchscreen over the now-discontinued Garmin Edge 1030.The battery life is a claimed 24 hours, though this can be extended to 48 hours if you run the computer in a stripped-down mode. It’s compatible with Garmin’s Charge power pack and Edge Power Mount if you want even more recording duration.The SD card slot has been removed, but internal storage has grown to 32GB. The Trailforks trail database is also installed as standard on the unit.Read more: Garmin Edge 1030 Plus reviewSpecsNavigation: Best in class with a faster processor for quick route recalculation | Training data: A bewildering number of training metrics that can be customised to your heart’s content | Connectivity: ANT+, Bluetooth, WiFi, USB | Compatibility: ANT+, Shimano Di2, SRAM eTap, Campagnolo EPS, Garmin Varia | Size: 58×114×19mm | Screen: 3.5in/89mm colour touchscreen, 282×470 pixelsGarmin Edge Explore 2The Garmin Edge Explore 2 gives you a summary screen at the end of your ride. Warren Rossiter / Our Media£250 / $300 / €300 / AU$500 as testedPros: Easy to use; great navigation; well-pricedCons: Lacks data for some ridersThe Edge Explore 2 majors on navigation functionality and strips out most of the training tools offered by Garmin's higher-priced computers. Its colour touchscreen is bright, with a size midway between the Edge 830 and the Edge 1040. Battery life is around 16 hours.It's easy to search for a location and the Edge Explore 2 will use heatmaps to direct you via the most cycled routes. You can overlay maps with a high-traffic indicator based on data from a linked phone, which can also provide weather information. Rerouting is efficient if you go off course.There's no WiFi connectivity, but rides can be uploaded to Garmin Connect and through to Strava via Bluetooth and your smartphone. You can use the Edge Explore 2 to control a smart trainer.This is a good option if you want the cycling computer essentials and don't need the full suite of training data.Read more: Garmin Edge Explore 2 reviewSpecsNavigation: Clear screen with detailed maps, efficient rerouting, climb profiles, heatmaps and high-traffic indicator | Training data: Live power and heart rate from connected devices, recovery time.

You can send waypoints (saved locations) and routes (courses) to your Instinct using the Garmin Explore app (and vice versa). First import gpx into BaseCamp an then sync with Instinct via Garmin Explore. i think the same way like my fenix.open a file browser like es-file-explorer and click on a gpx file.now select garmin connect. I do not use phone to communicate to Instinct, but I am sure Instinct does not use .gpx files, but .fit files. So no doubt you have to use some Garmin app to do it. .fix file is proprietary, unreadable (unlike .gpx ). ( I use connect.garmin.com website to convert my .gpx to .fit and then I download it over USB cable.) Not possible. And yes, its ridiculous. Download the GPX file to the phone, then open with the Garmin Connect app (it should be recognized as one of the apps that can handle gpx files). It will save it as a 'training course', which then can be synced to the Instinct. doesnt work on my phone. Nothing supports the GPX file even with connect downloaded

Hot on the heels of the 2022 launch of Garmin’s latest flagship Edge 1040 bike computer comes the Edge Explore 2.Positioned as a tool primarily for navigation, the Explore 2 strips away some of the myriad data the most expensive Edge bike computers offer riders.In fact, if you can do without the frills offered by some other products in the ride-tracking powerhouse’s range, the Garmin Edge Explore 2 is a highly competent, good-value bike computer.Garmin Edge Explore 2 specificationsThe Garmin Edge Explore 2 (centre) is larger than Garmin's Edge 830 but smaller than the Edge 1030. Warren Rossiter / Our MediaWhereas the solar-screened Edge 1040 will set you back over £600, the Explore 2 can be had for less than half that price – a significant cost saving in anyone’s book.The Explore 2 features a 3-inch screen, sitting between the diminutive Edge 830 and the larger dimensions of the 1040 (and its predecessor the 1030).The display features 240x400 pixels, which – in terms of pixel density – puts it in the range of both the 1040 and 830.The unit itself is built robustly, yet not a brick, weighing only 104g.It comes with a USB-C port, which should mean no more fiddling trying to get the previously used micro-USB cable in the right orientation.Garmin has switched to the easier and more robust USB-C standard for the charge port. Warren Rossiter / Our MediaAn IPX7 rating for water resistance (indicating the unit has been tested submerged in a metre of water for 30 minutes) should see you through any stormy wet winter rides safely.In this guise, the Explore 2 lacks the power pin connections on the rear of recent Edge models, so it misses out on compatibility with Garmin's power-extending battery pack.However, Garmin does offer a more expensive power mount bundle with the power pins at £339.99 (which can even take charge from an electric bike battery with the right connection).However, if you want it you’ll have to choose it from point of purchase: this standard model as tested can’t be upgraded at a later date.The Explore 2 offers a claimed 16 hours' battery life with GPS switched on and recording.The main ‘catch’ with the Explore 2 is it lacks the full suite of features you get with Garmin’s other Edge models.In terms of hardware, this means no Wi-Fi connectivity for direct uploading of your rides. Instead, it uploads to Garmin connect and Strava via your phone, just as older Garmins used to.There’s also no Strava Live segment support (although you can still use Strava to plan and sync routes), so if you’re a KOM/QOM capturer, this may not be the unit for you.Garmin has also ditched the ability to connect to

The older Garmin system. Warren Rossiter / Our MediaNotably, Garmin should be applauded for recognising that a smart trainer isn’t only for the rider dedicated to training and racing – many use one simply to maintain a level of fitness, so the ability to connect to one easily is a great bonus.As the name suggests, though, this really is a bike computer for navigation, and Garmin is among the best (if not the best) in the business when it comes to getting you where you need to go.The triple GPS, Glonass and Galileo satellite support means it finds its position quickly (much faster than my own Edge 1030, even) and it’ll store 100 routes and record up to 200 hours of riding history.The map screen now has more detail compared to the original Explore and the high-traffic indicator (signified by a red dotted line) on roads helps you ride through towns and cities while avoiding traffic jams and busier roads.In particular, the rerouting impressed me when I strayed off a planned course.Make a wrong turning and the Explore 2 keeps you going in the right direction. It hasn’t once put me into an endless U-turn loop, which I’ve found some other systems can do.Planned routes from both Strava and Komoot are compatible with the Explore 2, and I appreciated the inclusion of Garmin’s excellent ClimbPro function.On the approach to a climb on your route that the Explore 2’s algorithm has recognised, ClimbPro switches the screen to a graphic of the upcoming ascent. It shows the elevation profile, as well as useful metrics such as distance to go, remaining grade per cent, ascent remaining, current grade and elevation.It updates live as you climb, with the gradient graphic progressing from green through, yellow, orange and red to indicate the severity of the gradient.Although often perceived as a performance tool, I think everyone can benefit from knowing what lies in store when climbing a hill. It helps you pace yourself and know when to take a breath and spin easy, and when you can afford to ride harder.A standard quarter-turn fitting, Garmin also offers an Explore 2 power model with contacts on the quarter-turn to piggyback a battery. Warren Rossiter / Our MediaAs I’ve mentioned, Garmin claims you’ll get around 16 hours' life from demanding use – this includes using it to navigate and/or with connections to sensors.In testing, I saw around 15 hours between charges, with one or two sensors or peripherals connected for each ride.If you’re not so power hungry, I’d suggest around 20 hours is feasible if you aren’t heavy on using the navigation and make use of the battery save mode when you can.For eBike riders, the ability to
