Garmin Edge Explore 2

Does not match expectation

Pros & Cons

The simplest from Garmin , but as a gravel rider I don't need more than that either ! I absolutely don't need the 1040 then and especially its price , this one has everything it should have and do

Pros & Cons

Simple to use.

Pros & Cons

Easy to create your own route and also download routes via garmin connect to garmin edge Explorer 2

Pros & Cons

My previous Garmin was an Edge 1000, it started to have trouble navigating and I never used half of its features. Extensive statistics after your ride I don't do anything with. DUS: If you don't analyse (gravel) rides and just want to cycle, enjoy the surroundings and be able to navigate, this one is a winner. Why such an expensive one when everything you need is in this Edge Exore 2? Very happy with this choice. And Mantel also offers it at a very competitive price. Top device, highly recommended.

Pros & Cons

Excellent cycling navigation device. Likes it much better than navigating on iPhone.

Pros & Cons

Works properly.

Pros & Cons

complicated at the start then fine

I use this Garmin navigation computer for (e-bike) tours in known and unknown terrain. Both Garmin and Komoot then have great route suggestions. Transferring a junction route does require some extra actions.

Pros & Cons

Great to go on another adventure!

Pros & Cons

Great navigation computer for cyclists! When you deviate from the route, it immediately adapts and navigates you back to the route. Navigating to start also works well. In the mountains, the computer did not always pick up the correct altitude percentages of the route I had loaded. This had to do with calibration. Sometimes I had to do this manually as a result. Not desirable when you are climbing a mountain. Good link with Strava via Garmin Connect. Nice touchscreen controls. An improvement on the Edge 530.

Pros & Cons

I hesitated over a bike computer for a long time. I have had this one from Garmin for a few months now and I am SO happy with it. It has huge battery life, you can find your own komoot routes straight away, touchscreen, clear data screens and clear directions. After your ride, it automatically uploads to strava. You have to figure out how to operate it and link your apps, but then you have a fantastic bike computer! I can't live without it anymore, especially on bikepacking holidays it is ideal.

Pros & Cons

Een perfecte hulp om op een gezond verantwoorde manier aan je conditie te werken , in combinatie met hartslagmeter

Pros & Cons

Super navigation for my parents who ride many tours together. Now it can be even easier with this Edge Explore 2.

Pros & Cons

Very nice, solid and good product. We have already cycled many beautiful routes with it. It has a 'back to start' button, so you always get back to your starting destination if necessary. Many setting options, something for everyone. Messages and phone calls can be linked, so you see when you are called in an emergency, for example.

Pros & Cons

Still takes some getting used to, but already happy to be able to navigate after a regular running watch

Pros & Cons

Used 3x now and works great.

Pros & Cons

ok for the product tested on the bike -in addition, the user manual is complete

Pros & Cons

200km trip with navigation and only 33% of battery used

Pros & Cons

Getting used to the controls for a while, but coming soon

Pros & Cons

Easy to use. Easy to configure the various screens. Fast delivery.

Pros & Cons

Even this version 2 of Explore is far from the usability and user experience standards we are used to on mobile. The suggested paths depending on the type of route/distance/time/ascent can be aberrant if you just want to go from where you are to another address (worse the further away). You are not allowed to see the whole route beforehand to evaluate the route (you have to zoom in and out). It does not offer you different options, you have to recalculate it by changing the conditions without the result necessarily changing the route. Once on route there are many options to customize the presentation of data and a lot of data, however, the screen in changing conditions of sunny and dark areas does not look good, and the position arrow, small, even with the high contrast map, does not make things easier.

Pros & Cons

The explore 2 has been in use for a week now and has made several trips with it. the navigation works well, but it takes some getting used to the directions that are given. what works less well is the "heavy traffic" indication that only appears every time you drive on the road in question. What works fine is the ease with which routes can be created and loaded, super fast. The link with the Garmin heart rate monitor is also super fast. What I have to get used to is the interface of the software, where all the settings can be found. Not really intuitive, but not really a problem, just lots of practice. One question that remains is whether or not you can connect a powermeter to the device. The device itself indicates the possibility, but according to the descriptions on this site it can't, while the manual says it can. I immediately ordered an extended Mount, which is highly recommended. It is super strong and in a good clear place.

Pros & Cons

Bought this as a successor/replacement to my Garmin 1000. Since the Garmin 1040 is too expensive and the edge explorer 2 displays enough data for me so the choice fell on the explorer2 and so far not a bad buy.

Pros & Cons

kom van garmin etrex serie, maar toch moest ik me door de menustructuur worstelen om de juiste voor mij duidelijke settings te komen

Pros & Cons

Product you can easily attach to Garmin Edge Explorer 2. Seats securely and protects well.

Pros & Cons

Very easy to use with clear display which I can read without my reading glasses. Easy to use. I hesitated a long time between the Explorer and Hammerhead Karoo2. No regrets at all.
