<\/a>Edge 820.<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cWe are excited to share the newest additions to our extensive cycling line-up with our announcement of the innovative Edge 820 and Edge Explore 820,\u201d said Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of worldwide sales. \u201cWhether riders are chasing performance and racing goals or out for adventure and touring, the Edge 820 and Edge Explore 820 offer a full suite of features to help track data that is important to them.\u201d<\/p>\n
With the Edge 820 and Edge Explore 820 riders can easily keep in touch with others in their pack. GroupTrack offers enhanced situational awareness by allowing cyclists to ride at their own pace while seeing where fellow riders are, so if one person falls out of sight, they don\u2019t fall off the device\u2019s map. Additional mapping features include preloaded Garmin Cycle Map for bike-specific turn-by-turn navigation, round-trip Course Creator and on-device course planning. Built-in GPS, GLONASS and altimeter provide accurate ride data so cyclists can know how far, fast and high they have ridden.<\/p>\n
Pair the Edge 820 and Edge Explore 820 with the full-suite of Varia cycling awareness products including the Varia rearview radar, Varia Vision\u2122 and Varia smart bike lights to help create a safer riding environment. Additionally, the devices\u2019 integrated accelerometer for incident detection automatically sends a rider\u2019s location message to emergency contacts if assistance is needed. The devices are also compatible with ANT+ sensors, including speed, cadence and heart rate.<\/p>\n
The Edge 820 and Edge Explore 820 are ideal for riding no matter the weather conditions. Both devices feature a 2.3-inch high-resolution, capacitive touch display that is quick and responsive \u2013 even when wet or used with gloves \u2013 and the Edge 820\u2019s ambient light sensor automatically adjusts the screen\u2019s brightness so it\u2019s easy to read at a glance even in direct sunlight.<\/p>\n
The Edge 820 is compatible with ANT+ power meters, including Vector, the unique pedal-based power meter from Garmin that measures total power, left\/right balance and cadence, and integrates with ANT+ electronic shifting systems and ANT+ bike trainers. Users can record advanced cycling dynamics to analyze their form, including where power is being applied on the pedal and throughout the pedal stroke. The Edge 820 also provides a variety of physiological data with the addition of a heart rate strap, so riders can view their cycling-specific VO2 max along with a recovery advisor, which analyzes their data and tells them how long they should wait before attempting another hard ride. Additional performance data includes FTP and watts\/kg tracking, and in-ride challenges through Strava Live Segments.<\/p>\n
