Garmin Edge 500 Uses Barometric Altimeter GPS Navigation

Garmin Edge 500 is the latest GPS device for cyclists. It can track speed, distance, time, GPS coordinates, elevation, calories burned, climb and descent. For the last part - the rise and fall - Edge 500 actually uses a barometric altimeter that is much more accurate compared to GPS data.

Of course, the Garmin Edge 500 has wireless synchronization capabilities through ANT+, and can also work with speed / cadence. Whenever you have a Garmin heart rate monitor, that can even give very accurate data calories. Garmin Edge 500 costs $ 250 by itself. If you decide to go for the heart rate monitor and speed / cadence sensor package have to pay an extra $ 100.

We hope your workouts last less than 18 hours. That’s how long the battery will last. [navigadget]
