Edge Explore 1000 is the first GPS cycling computer to offer incident detection capabilities via an integrated accelerometer. In the event of an accident, this feature can manually or automatically send your location to your emergency contacts. It’s also compatible with the Edge remote accessory, allowing you to cycle through screens while keeping your hands on the handlebar. Another way to help create a safer cycling environment is by adding Varia rearview radar and bike lights, which are compatible with Edge Explore 1000.
When you’re exploring the world on 2 wheels, keep your phone tucked away from the elements and enjoy connected features like weather alerts and smart notifications displayed on your Edge. When paired with your compatible smartphone and the Garmin Connect Mobile app, Edge offers live tracking, incoming call, email and text alerts, social media sharing, weather, wireless uploads and sending/receiving courses. LiveTrack allows your friends and family to follow your rides in real time, from anywhere in the world.
