Purpose-Built Bike Computer
There's no better bike computer to guide your ride. Edge 810 is rugged, waterproof and has a 17-hour battery life. The touchscreen is easy to operate, even with a gloved finger and when wet. Mounting options include a new out-front mount (Sold separately) for heads-up positioning and a standard quarter-turn mount.

This Is Your Edge
The Edge 810 offers connected features through your compatible Android or Apple device including live tracking, social media sharing and weather. The 810 is compatible with optional detailed street or Ordnance Survey® maps so it can guide your ride for touring, commuting or extended activities where you might need onboard maps and navigation. Because it's GPS-enabled, Edge 810 provides accurate data and navigation capabilities anywhere in the world.

Track Every Detail
In addition to the mapping capabilities, Edge 810 records your distance, speed metrics, ascent/descent, grade and more. It's also compatible with ANT+™ sensors that measure your heart rate, speed/cadence and power when paired with third-party ANT+ power meter(Heart rate, speed/cadence sensor sold separately). The activity profiles feature allows you to customise data fields and device settings based on cycling activity such as road, mountain or touring. Switch profiles with a simple swipe of the touchscreen and your device will be set up to show the data you need for that ride.

Get Connected
Edge 810 offers a suite of connected features when paired with your smartphone (Apple® or Android™) and the Garmin Connect Mobile app. This allows you to gain comprehensive and accurate ride data from a dedicated device while saving your phone battery. The Edge tracks the data and sends it to your phone using a Bluetooth® connection. Stay connected and share all the details of your ride with friends, family and your social media contacts. You can post an update immediately after your ride or race with details from your completed activity. You'll create your posts via your smartphone, and the ride data's already there thanks to the interface with Garmin Connect Mobile.

Live Tracking
The live tracking feature allows your friends and family to follow your races and training activities in real time. Invite followers using email or social media so they can view your live data on a Garmin Connect tracking page. Once they get your email invite, they can click to follow and see your stats and location on the map.

Weather
Get real-time weather conditions, forecasts and alerts directly on the Edge 810 when it's paired with your smartphone and the Garmin Connect Mobile app. This feature is useful for extended rides, and it lets you keep your smartphone safe and dry while the weather data you need is at your fingertips.

Wireless Data Transfers
Now you can instantly store, share and analyse every detail of your ride. The Garmin Connect Mobile app allows for wireless uploads of completed activities from your device as soon as you finish recording an activity. You choose whether activities are automatically or manually uploaded. Once your ride has posted to Garmin Connect, your own "connections" can view them. You can also search your courses and workouts stored at Garmin Connect, download to your smartphone, then send directly to your Edge 810 — wirelessly. You can then navigate to the start of the course and use the Virtual Partner® feature on your Edge to race your previous activities in real time. Future release of Garmin Connect Mobile will allow you to explore and download courses and workouts from other Garmin Connect users.

About GPS Cycle Computers

GPS receivers are now made waterproof, lightweight and small enough to fit on a bike easily. There are 2 basic choices to take on your bike: a GPS unit designed primarily for navigation with a dedicated bike mount, particularly suitable for cycle touring and finding your way in unfamiliar territory, like the Garmin eTrex Vista Cx; or a dedicated bike computer that uses GPS to track your training routes and provide detailed analysis of your workout like the Edge 305, with more limited navigation capabilities. Most units come with only very basic maps installed and you may need to purchase more detailed maps for your area to be loaded onto the unit for navigation.
All electrical goods sold on wiggle that come with a mains power supply are supplied with a UK plug. Please check the product description to see if any other plugs are known to be included in the box, otherwise you may need an adapter for use in your country. Most power adapters will accept 110-240 Volts.
