Cycling Computers & GPS Selection Guide

Are you looking for an odometer, a GPS bike computer or a bicycle navigation system?

An odometer has a sensor to measure your speed and calculate your total riding distance. However, an odometer has no function to transmit the measured data at the end of the ride (e.g. to a phone or computer). A GPS bike computer retrieves its data via GPS, which means that it does not need a sensor to measure your speed. You can, however, connect a speed sensor and other sensors for more precise measurements. In addition, the route travelled can be read out afterwards, and in many cases you can navigate without maps with a breadcrumb trail. A bicycle navigation system has the same features as a bicycle computer with GPS, plus the function to follow a predetermined route with a map and on-screen instructions.

What does GPS do on a bike computer?

A GPS bike computer accurately determines your location based on an internal GPS sensor. As a result, you do not need a sensor to measure your speed. However, it is possible to connect a speed sensor and other sensors (such as a heart rate, power and cadence sensor) for a more precise measurement. Especially in wooded areas, it is recommended to use a speed sensor. You can, however, review the route and data of your ride afterwards with, for example, Strava or another training app.

What is the difference between a bike computer with GPS and a bike computer with navigation?

A bike navigation has the same capabilities as a bike computer with GPS, with the added ability to recreate pre-made routes with a map and turn-by-turn navigation on your screen. Some 'regular' bike computers with GPS do allow you to navigate. Instead of a map on your screen, you navigate on these kinds of bike computers with a simple arrow that you have to follow. It's not the most comprehensive navigation, but if you're really lost somewhere, at least you'll know which way to go.
