Best Cycling GPS Units of 2025

"I find the battery life insane. I get over two weeks of training out of one charge, and the massive screen is easy to read. It syncs perfectly with my sensors, and the GPS reception is reliable even in thick woods."

"After using the Edge 1030 Plus, I was impressed by the improvement in display and usability with this 1040. Programming and operating it is so much easier, and I love the new features!"

"As a long-time Garmin user, I can't find anything to complain about this cycling computer. The turn-by-turn directions are clear, and it holds a charge for weeks. I only regret not purchasing it sooner!"

"I find the Edge 530 to be a fantastic bike computer with impressive capabilities. The jump tracking and flow statistics are great for improving my performance, and the nearby trail routes are super helpful for new rides. I’m happy with the battery life after long rides—it only lost 4% in 45 minutes with GPS on. The Garmin Connect app is excellent, too!"

"After using my old Edge 520 for years, I was ready for an upgrade and chose the Edge 530. I appreciated the familiar button layout and the seamless connection to my heart rate and cadence sensors. The visibility of the display took a bit of adjustment, but with the right angle, it’s manageable, especially with the backlight on."

"The Edge 530 has exceeded my expectations as a GPS bike computer. I love that it has built-in maps and excellent battery life; it lasted 12+ hours during a long ride and still had 38% left. The ability to program custom screens is a nice touch, making it feel tailored to my needs."

"As a first-time bike computer user, I absolutely enjoy this device! It has many features, but I mainly stick to the basics. The battery life is fantastic, and it’s intuitive to use while riding."

"I initially bought this to use with my Insta360 camera. Installation was a breeze, and it works perfectly right out of the box. However, I wish it had a touch interface, as that would have made it easier to use. Still, once set up, I was satisfied with its performance."

"I have been using the Garmin Edge 540 for a few rides now, and I would rate it 5 stars based on my experience. The ability to configure the display to show the stats I care about is a huge plus. It performs well in various weather conditions, and I appreciate the long-lasting battery."

"I've experienced many annoying issues with the software version 10.18, but after the 10.19 update, most complaints have been addressed. Now, I can confidently say this computer is the best of the best for daily riders!"

"This device is just about perfect! The display is crisp, the battery life is incredible, and the navigation software is up-to-the-moment accurate. I'm still learning all its features, but so far, I absolutely love it!"

"The display is much better than my previous model, and the features are impressive, even if I don’t use them all. The screen is bright and easy to read, which is a significant advantage on long rides."

"I recently bought the Garmin 130 Plus to upgrade from my old Edge 25, and I find it to be better in almost every aspect: it has new features, a larger and sharper screen, and faster satellite connection. I'm very satisfied with my choice!"

"This is my first GPS cycling computer, and I love the compact size. The display is easy to read, and I appreciate the detailed stats I get after my rides through the Garmin Connect app. It’s been a game-changer for tracking my distance!"

"I bought this device to help navigate local trails, and while the navigation is sometimes off, I still find it meets my needs. Battery life is decent, especially for shorter rides, and it paired easily with my existing sensors."

"I found the setup to my phone a breeze. The navigation works well, and I feel like I'm getting 1050 performance at a fraction of the cost. The GPS accuracy is impressive, especially for the price."

"I switched from the Garmin 530 to the Edge Explore 2 because I needed a bigger screen and better functionality. I've used it for over 300 miles of riding so far, and it's been easy to read and operate."

"Initially, I was disappointed with the Edge Explore 2, especially in the city. However, after some adjustments and a 35-mile ride outside the city, I found the navigation much more functional. Learning how to use it made a significant difference."

"I previously used Garmin, but I found this device's battery life outstanding. I haven't had to charge it yet, and it seamlessly pairs with my Garmin radar taillight to show traffic behind me on the screen. It's also much easier to operate."

"As a bikepacker, I was frustrated with my previous Garmin 1030, but this device has been a game-changer. Setting it up was a breeze, and even with max settings, I’m getting 40+ hours of battery life. Navigating and auto re-routing work perfectly, making it ideal for long trips."

"After some rides, I’m quite satisfied with my Coros Dura. It provides accurate GPS readings, connects easily to my Garmin watch for heart rate, and I can upload routes directly from Komoot. Impressive battery drain, about 2% per hour during GPS use."

"This is my first cycling computer, and I absolutely love it. The screen size displays tons of data, and I can customize it to see the data I want. It syncs easily with my Fenix 7S Pro and works great with the sensors. I’ve used it for both outdoor and indoor rides on a bike trainer, and I’ve been beyond impressed. I love the touchscreen, colors, and graphics. Highly recommend!"

"As a long-time Garmin user, I have always loved their products. The Edge 840 is the latest, and in my opinion, the best head unit. Everything works seamlessly, from the wireless sensors to the rear radar unit. I can even sync my Dexcom G7 CGM for instant glucose readings during rides. The touch screen is fantastic, and the new GPS chip is highly accurate. The Climb Pro feature is awesome as well. If you're torn between the 840 and the 540, I definitely recommend the 840."

"I was initially worried about the non-solar model, but it has plenty of battery life and I don’t have to charge it daily on the trails. It has numerous features that I’m still learning about. I bought this to replace my eTrex 30 that lasted over 10 years. I really enjoy the touchscreen option!"

"I've owned several Garmin bike computers, and this one has the most intuitive and useful interface I've encountered. The long battery life and bright, clear screen make it easy to read. I also appreciate how quickly it obtains GPS and map information. My only wish is for a USB-C port instead of the USB-mini."

"I've been using this device for about a week, and I'm considering returning it. In Koreatown LA, it keeps losing track of my location, often asking me to make unnecessary U-turns just to continue straight. I might end up switching to Wahoo instead."

"This is a fantastic bicycle computer for both riding and racing. I believe it is well worth the price."
