Courses also support the virtual partner which is you on a good day. Once you have some riding history you will be able to save logged rides as courses. Turn left, turn right, Food, summit, etc it works quite well. You can program waypoints that use the basic icons built into the Edge. It is designed to log your rides, show very basic maps of what you’ve been up to and create Courses from your ride logs. The Training Centre software that comes with the Edge looks fairly basic ( it is ) but it NOT navigation software. Connect the Edge up to your computer when you get home and upload your data into the Training Centre. Once you have finished press the button again and that’s about it. ![]() Just press the start button and it says “timer started” and go and do your stuff. Once you played around with the settings and set the thing up with bike and your personal details the next step is to get out there and do something. I just want to ride, have a great day out and log the ride while I’m at it. ![]() You will need a computer with a USB port to transfer data between the two, you don’t need any fancy mapping software to start with and the whole point of my purchase was to NOT carry a map. I’ll leave the navigation features until the end as you need to know the difference between Tracks, Courses, and Routes. Now I’m still pondering on how to write up this page as it is a fairly steep learning curve to get the best out this remarkable device. It’s a remarkable piece of kit just larger than two bike computers that tells you when, where ,how hard, how high, and if your going in the right direction. This device has transformed my rides, gives you more data than you can shake a stick at.
