Thanks
Why are you attempting to connect your Garmin Edge to your Android phone ?

Did some research and learnt something new, I’m an iPhone user so this was news to me.

Some Android phones support USB on-the-go (OTG).
This allows a compatible Android phone to be used as a power bank & charge other usb devices.
Two issues… it charges those devices slowly…… you are required to use an OTG adaptor.
Yes, the OTG adaptor has an input and output side, so one way.
