This saved course can be used to compete against your Virtual partner by trying to match or exceed previously set goals. Segments are virtual race courses. Similar to training with Courses, you can send Segments from your Garmin Connect account to your Edge While downloading a course, the segments that are included in the course are automatically downloaded to the device.
The downloaded segments can be used to race against, beat a personal record or beat other cyclists who have ridden across the segment. Along with Garmin Connect segments, the Edge is the first ever Garmin device where you can also download segments from Strava.
In case you are new, Strava is a social network for fitness enthusiasts that is primarily used for tracking cycling and running exercises.
The live Strava segments can be used for training against past rides, friends or even professionals who have tried and uploaded their details on Strava. The Edge automatically transfers the Strava segments to your device as soon as it is connected to Garmin Connect mobile or your computer. If you link your Garmin Connect account to your Strava account then your device automatically sends your activity to your Strava account which can be used to review your position on the segment during the ride.
Using the features of Segment requires you to enable the same on your device. With the Edge you can get alerts on approaching segments by enabling the segment feature. When it comes to workouts, a workout plan custom tailored for you or your capabilities delivers the best results. This can either be achieved by creating a custom workout plan or by downloading a suitable plan from the Garmin Connect Account.
Thanks to the Edge you now have the ability to download and even create workout plans in advance and store them in your device. You can visit www. The sensors used mainly by riders are listed below The heart rate monitor should be strapped onto your body so that it is placed just below your sternum and so that the Garmin logo is on the right side up. Pairing your Edge with a Heart Rate Monitor enables the device to give you the information on Recovery Time which is the amount of time that is left before you fully recover from the activities of a previous session.
For recommending recovery time, the Edge uses your VO2 max estimates which gives accurate data after you have completed a few activities. To learn more about VO2 max estimates click here — link to main article VO2 max estimates.
Cadence is the rate of pedalling measured by the number of revolutions of the crank arm per minute rpm. After pairing the cadence sensor with the device it will always record cadence data. For installing the cadence sensor —. For calibrating a power meter you can —.
By measuring the force, the direction of force, the rotation of the crank arm, and time, the power meter can determine power watts. Because Vector independently measures left and right leg power, it reports your left-right power balance.
The cycling dynamics metrics are only available when you pair your Edge with a power meter. Metrics such as the area and time where you apply pedal throughout the pedal stroke allows you to understand your way of riding.
This information is very useful in evaluating the best bike fit for you and train more efficiently. For viewing the Cycling Dynamics data Emptying trash can was the key and identifying extra junk files. Mac apparently adds and hides files. I was able to get connected with an old PC and see all the files.
Determined what could be trashed and cleaned it up. All works well now. Appreciate you taking time to reply. How much free space is there in truth? I belong to a bike club that provides printable maps with cue sheets as well as GPX files. After I sent my question I dug a little deeper and found what I was looking for. Trying to stay on a budget so I was vasilating between the Edge 25 and Your reviews and videos and instructions were quite helpful! I never get a prompt to overwrite any file.
I deleted the original base map after saving copy and copied a new base map to the device edge which took 5 mins. It took a few attempts because the file on the first 2 attempts was too big so i had to keep selecting a smaller area. Any help would be welcome. It worked like a charm for me. One thing is that it took a while like 2 minutes to upload to the device.
This is great thanks. I just want to say thanks you. I follow step by step your instruction and it works flawless. You my Sir deserve a Beer! Thanks again and keep up the great work! Hey, that depends on the document format in which the website provide the trails in.
What website are you using? Hi, I have followed all the instructions but when I the Garmin is rebooting, it turn off. I only can turn it on if it is plugged to usb charger or mac. If I restore the gmapbmap. Is it charged? Is there a firmware update available? Try those two things. You can try to boot it up without map file. It should work without it. I connected to usb and staying outside, the map file works perfect. I erased all map files but same problem… format, hard reset, firmware reinstall….
I actually recall an identical incident now! And dug up the conversation, the solution was to install web update, then reinstall the 4. Hope this helps! So, the only way is downgradin it to 4.
Mine is now at 6. It is a problem with the map file.. It turns it off when loading map file. Thank you so much again! It was the proplem… downgrade to 4. And why would you?
Just leave it Hi, I have gone through all the steps without success. I deleted the gmapbmap. Do I need to add it back to the ? It works fine. Is there a way to zoom in on these maps on an Garmin ? I bought one yesterday and managed to get a map on the device but it shows very little detail. Hi, Trying do do this on an AppleMac but am stuck trying to create a gmapbmapbackup. I can copy gmapbmap. Not a computer wizz-kid so please keep any answer as low tech as possible.
Any ideas? I saw that up in the comments that you recommend switching back to version 4. I was struggling with space until I realized there was a hidden folder called. Once I emptied this everything fitted on no problem. Hey, great! That mystery solved too! I am really having a hard time reading it.
The open source maps work great…… Thanks. Found the answer to my own question. If you have the map screen active enter the menu and choose the map zoom level option, the screen will have a plus and minus in the lower left corner to allow a zoom in, or zoom out. Just leave the screen in the option setting and the Navigation banner at the top of the screen is no longer visible.
More of the actual map is displayed fully from top to bottom. Thanks for a great page. Do you know if there is a reason for this, and can I use the files that are contained within, they are. If you were to go Touring with the and leave the tiled area you have downloaded can you update to a new map area by blue-toothing the new file from your phones memory card?
You are not going to have access to a laptop while cycle touring after all. Have just got an Edge , and installed local maps as per these instructions, worked first time, what an improvement, thank you for the brilliant info.
Thanks in anticipation. Thanks for this. The small problem you have nowadays is that the site at the top is no longer working. You can submit requests all day and not get anything out. BUT what you can do is to download the image files tiles individually from the same source so click on e.
It works just fine on the latest v10 build of the but you will need to do a bit of googling to work out how to install and use mkgmap.
The trick is to create a command line file where you list all your maps as input files and use the make base map setting.
Hey, thanks! I have followed the instructions step by step, have chosen the map I require to download but when I have received the email stating it is ready to download the link will not open stating it is a blank page? I have managed to install the maps correctly, however when I try and use pre-planned routes, previously created using the old mapping system, I used to get a blue line on the map indicating direct changes etc. I tried the Encrypt solution but mine was unchecked already.
I downloaded the map i needed from thie site and it came to 22mb. When I open the zip file the file shows it to be mb. Any idea? The device uses your user profile information from the initial TIP: Garmin recommends you secure your bike on a stand while setup to determine your heart rate zones.
