Just recieved this little baby

[Theolegit]

Just taken delivery of this little bit of kit, its diddy!
Will do a review once I’ve played with it, initial impressions, love the size, love the display, got it to mirror the screen of my fenix 5 which apparently it will do once they update it, won’t do it yet but it’s promised!!! Hmmmm
However, it displays the levo power, although won’t run the specialised levo data field YET!
I just love a toy.

Will it work in the Northern Hemisphere as well?

What is it?

 

[Theolegit]

What is it?

It the new Garmin Edge 130

 

[Gary]

is it like an Edge 25 but a little bigger?
It's actually MASSIVE on my screen but i'm guessing it's quite small in real life

 

[Doomanic]

What does it do?

 

[Theolegit]

About 2 fingers wide and not as tall
This is a great review of it

Ah. Cool. Seems a pretty big upgrade over a 25.

I loath my old Garmin (800) so it stays permanently on my roadbike and I use a little Tomtom multisport GPS mtb rides. The 800 does do everything I need it to and the mapping is good (not garmin's maps I might add). it's just the clunky menu systems that's as user friendly as a tamagochi from the 90s and annoyingly over complicated and time consuming system of moving files into folders manually to add routes to it that I can't be bothered faffing around with.

I recently sold my edge 1000 never really used it, I’ve a fenix 5 but wanted a very small display for the levo, this suits my need provided they come good with their promise to mirror the fenix 5 on the 130, not gonna hold my breath though
