Right now I’m using a Garmin Montana 610 for routing and tracks on the road and mountain bike. But for speed, distance and cadence information I mount out front an IGS 50 something. I looking to upgrade to one devise. The Edge 1030 will do more but the cost is steep. I noticed the newer Edge Explorer and it looks like it does more than what I have now. Anyone tried both? I use BaseCamp to keep my data so wondering if it will work too. These are on my wish list. I don’t have a power meter and don’t plan on springing for one.
-Show map map along with current speed and cadence. Some indication if ol slower or faster than average would be nice
-Able to upload tracks from BaseCamp to follow off-road
-Collect average and maximum speed and cadence.
Edit: Reading and watching reviews the Explore looks pretty good. May be hard to justify the expense of a 1030. Just wonder how well it will switch from the road bike to the mountain bike. And is there enough memory for 3rd party maps. If they are needed.
