I love my 8 year old Edge 705 - its on its second battery and 3rd navigation ball but the lack of internet and Bluetooth connectivity was starting to get to me. I recently purchased the 520 Plus - but returned it after 2 days primarily because the lack of touchscreen navigation made the UI awful to use and I couldn't justify the cost of the more expensive touchscreen models. The Edge Explore doesn't come with all the bells and whistles that the more expensive models have - but if you are looking for a touchscreen device, that will connect to your heart rate monitor and your phone and the internet - I think Garmin have nailed it with the Explore.
The Good: Great large full color screen which is awesome to see the extra level of detailed maps that come on this unit - like lakes and swamps and hills already marked. The map was also showing trails that were in the base maps already on the device - and I took advantage of them on the very first ride which I could not have done on the 705. The touch screen is great - working in humid conditions with sweaty fingers. You can move around the map or your course on the screen (vs the ball on the 705 or the direction keys on the 820) . The initial configuration of the device with the phone was easy, setting up the ride screens is similar to previous models and using on the trail is mostly easy. I ran both the Explore and the 705 side by side and the GPS accuracy was identical. Has lots of new features now that its connected like Live Tracking and Emergency Assistance which were both reasons I wanted an upgrade.
The Bad: Full disclosure - I've done one ride with the Explore - so will edit as I go along. But there are a few gripes too. The first one is that the Strava App in Connect IQ does not appear to be compatible with the Explore. Hopefully this will change, but in the meantime you have to load the course into garmin.connect first, or use another app like TrailForks. Secondly, the Map Zoom function. I didn't realize until today how much I zoom in and out of the map as I am riding along following a course - especially on the tight sections that are difficult to follow if you are zoomed out. On the 705 this was done via two buttons on the side of the unit. On the Explore you have to tap the screen which requires a level of precision quite tricky to manage in the middle of a rock-garden. Thirdly - I think I consumed like half the battery on a 3 hour ride. Not such a big deal since I rarely do 6 hour rides - but I will need to remember to charge after ride and a battery pack on the all day rides. There are some other smaller gripes too. The Start location is not easy to see with all the new detail on the maps (I used my 705 to navigate back to the car) and the 'Zoom Scale text' is like a size 4 font - something else I didn't know I referred too as I am riding and judging where to turn on the trail. Hopefully Garmin read this and change it :) Also, I felt like it was loosing the bluetooth connection to my phone a fair amount - but will need to monitor that
Overall - very happy after ride 1. I believe and hope the issues I do have will all be fixed in firmware updates over the next few months - which is to be expected in a first release product.
Update: 7 rides in and my old edge 705 has been confined to my spare parts draw. The Edge Explore is awesome. I haven't noticed the bluetooth connection drop and battery consumption with a heart rate monitor and connected to my phone is 10-15% per hour. The lack of Strava Route integration forced me to start using TrailForks - which is actually much better than Strava for creating ride plans so not missing the Strava App on the device.
As soon as I got it and connected it to the desktop app, it updated all my maps. These now show all the new bike paths in this area. And it can check for updates every time you connected to the app, either on the phone or on the computer. Love the Garmin Connect app. It really makes keeping track of your rides and data very easy if you are a goal orientated person. If you are like me and just out to ride for fun, it keeps track of that stuff too, like mileage, calories burned, time, etc. Lots of good info available on the screens. And the Touch Screen is very easy to use and understand how to get around using the menus.
The other issue is that there needs to be some sort of sun shield over the screen, because it's impossible to read when you've got the sun behind you.
Recommended ONLY IF YOU'RE AWARE OF THESE ISSUES! Of course, you may have no problems @ all! Good luck.
