This customization does not allow you to integrate the heart rate data onto one of those pages. Instead, the heart rate data occupies its very own page. You can scroll to it while you are riding of course &#8211; but you cannot have it on the screen constantly, along with whatever two other data fields you consider important.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20722\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20722\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2lmnp1U\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"20722\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/garmin-edge-25-review\/garmin-edge-25-4-different-faces1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Garmin-Edge-25-4-different-faces1.jpg?fit=750%2C223&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"750,223\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Garmin Edge 25 &#8211; 4 different faces(1)\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;The Garmin Edge 25 offers an amazing amount of information and options.

As it has more satellites to choose from, it can lock in faster. I know that Garmin Edge bike computers with only GPS can be frustratingly slow to lock in, so this is important. It was a very happy surprise to find GLONASS on such a relatively cheap bike computer as the Garmin Edge 25. This is obviously a huge selling point for this tiny bike computer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> GPS and GLONASS are different kinds of satellite systems \u2013 the GPS was developed by the USA, and the GLONASS is Russian.<\/p>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-122\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-122\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\">\t<br \/>\n<div id=\"metaslider-id-41750\" style=\"max-width: 350px; margin: 0 auto;\" class=\"ml-slider-3-99-0 metaslider metaslider-flex metaslider-41750 ml-slider ms-theme-default nav-hidden\" role=\"region\" aria-label=\"Sidebar What is new about 540 840 and 1040\" data-width=\"350\">\n    <div id=\"metaslider_container_41750\">\n        <div id=\"metaslider_41750\">\n            <ul class='slides'>\n                <li style=\"display: block; width: 100%;\" class=\"slide-45201 ms-image \" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" data-date=\"2025-02-19 14:25:56\"><a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/garmin-edge-1050-vs-1040\/\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"View Slide Details\" class=\"metaslider_image_link\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Garmin-Edge-1050-vs-1040.jpg?resize=350%2C469&#038;ssl=1\" height=\"469\" width=\"350\" alt=\"\" class=\"slider-41750 slide-45201 msDefaultImage\" title=\"Garmin Edge 1050 vs 1040\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n                <li style=\"display: none; width: 100%;\" class=\"slide-42604 ms-image \" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" data-date=\"2023-07-02 16:38:06\"><a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/garmin-edge-540-vs-840-vs-1040\/\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"View Slide Details\" class=\"metaslider_image_link\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Slide-540-vs-840-vs-1040-2-copy.jpg?resize=350%2C469&#038;ssl=1\" height=\"469\" width=\"350\" alt=\"\" class=\"slider-41750 slide-42604 msDefaultImage\" title=\"Slide 540 vs 840 vs 1040 2 copy\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n        \n    <\/div>\n<\/div><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<!-- #tablepress-122 from cache -->\n<h3>Wireless Uploads of data from your Garmin Edge 25<\/h3>\n<p>The Garmin Edge 25 offers <strong>wireless transfers<\/strong> of your data to Garmin Connect (or <a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/why-cyclists-should-use-strava\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Strava, which you can read about here<\/a>).

ANT+ is a wireless technology that allows your devices to talk to each other (like Bluetooth). ANT+ enables you to hook up the bike computer on your handlebars to a cadence sensor on your wheel, and a heart rate monitor around your chest. Plus a whole host of other sensors.<\/p>\n<p>This might not seem important to you today. But what if you decide you want a <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2caubDQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cadence and speed sensor<\/a> or a <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2ciNecC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">heart rate monitor<\/a> in six months&#8217; time, and you&#8217;ve invested in a cheaper bike computer, so that the extras are not available without buying a whole new bike computer? <strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Note that the Garmin Edge 25 can only connect to two sensors. This would not matter if you own one bike and two sensors (say, a heart rate monitor and cadence sensor). But what if you have three bikes, and they all have their own cadence sensors? This could be a major problem for those with several bikes.<\/p>\n<p>Also, Garmin offers very sophisticated <span id=\"productTitle\" class=\"a-size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2bTcAhz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Garmin Vector 2S Power Meter Pedals<\/a> <\/span>to accurately measure how much power you put into your pedaling &#8211; but you cannot connect to these with a Garmin Edge 25. This could be a real problem if you decide you want to train with power meters.<\/p>\n<p>In these cases, you will need to look at a more expensive bike computer, such as the <a

real-time segments from Garmin Connect with the Garmin Edge 25, but you cannot use Strava segments. You can use Strava segments on the more expensive Garmin Edge models, but not on this model.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/why-cyclists-should-use-strava\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Read more about Strava here<\/strong><\/a> &#8211; it&#8217;s not just a training tool, it&#8217;s a database linked to an app, and it&#8217;s creating a huge body of knowledge about where cyclists really ride, which ultimately could be used to make better cycling routes for all.<\/p>\n<p>Real-time segments enable you to create or find segments at connect.garmin.com, download them to your unit, and set up in-ride competitions. These segments are really fun. Typically it\u2019s a very short course that people like to compete on (virtually). As you approach the start of the course, the Garmin gives you a Countdown, and then signals \u201cGo!\u201d As you cycle along the course, the Garmin keeps you constantly informed on how you are doing. For example, you have 300 feet to go, and you are 8 seconds behind the segment leader \u2013 can you pump up the power and catch the leader? You can choose to compete against overall segment leaders, or against your own connections.<\/p>\n<p>Strava segments essentially work the same way, but there are many more of them, and a bigger community of cyclists are using them. Many elite cyclists swear by Strava segments. If that&#8217;s you, a Garmin Edge 25 is not going to cut it. Note however that you have to be a Strava premium user to download segments. That will cost you around $50 per year.<\/p>\n<h4>Related Post:<\/h4>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"XDJ5VNBq6d\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/best-cheap-bike-computers-under-100\/\">Best Cheap Bike Computers Under $65 for 2023 &#8211; Includes Budget Wireless Computers<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content lazyload\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Best Cheap Bike Computers Under $65 for 2023 &#8211; Includes Budget Wireless Computers&#8221; &#8212; Average Joe Cyclist\" data-src=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/best-cheap-bike-computers-under-100\/embed\/#?secret=kNrOj9JGkY#?secret=XDJ5VNBq6d\" data-secret=\"XDJ5VNBq6d\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Mapping and Navigation with the Garmin Edge 25<\/h3>\n<p>The Garmin <strong>Edge 25 has no maps<\/strong>, and you cannot download any maps either.

First, it is small and will not take up much space on your handlebars. Second, it offers more features than most cyclists will probably even get around to using, and certainly all features most cyclists want. Third, it is almost the cheapest Garmin Edge bike computer available. In summary, <strong>for most average cyclists, and even some competitive cyclists, the Garmin Edge 25 is an excellent choice<\/strong>, offering a lot of power and a stunning array of advanced features in its tiny frame. You can use it to record your rides, see how fast you are going, check on your heart rate while cycling, set heart rate alerts, create workouts based on heart rate, distance, and calories, follow courses, and all kinds of other fun things too. AND the Garmin Edge 25 has fast satellite acquisition due to the extraordinary fact that this relatively cheap bike computer is enabled for both the GPS and the GLONASS satellite systems!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\t\t<table class=\"ajc-ad-product-table center\">\n\t\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t\t<tr><td colspan=2><strong>Buy it now!<\/strong> Find the best price for <strong>Garmin Edge 25<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>\n\t\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t\t<tbody>\n\n\t\t\t<tr><td class=\"ajc-ad-product-merchant\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.avantlink.com\/click.php?tt=cl&mi=10248&pw=185386&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rei.com%2Fproduct%2F893355%2Fgarmin-edge-25-gps-bike-computer\" target=\"_blank\">REI<\/a><\/td><td>$<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"ajc-ad-product-merchant\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.avantlink.com\/click.php?tt=cl&mi=10060&pw=185386&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.backcountry.com%2Fgarmin-edge-25-bundle-bike-computer%3Fskid%3DGRM004R-BK-ONESIZ%26ti%3DU2VhcmNoIFJlc3VsdHM6Z2FybWluIGVkZ2UgMjU6MToxOmdhcm1pbiBlZGdlIDI1\" target=\"_blank\">Backcountry.com<\/a><\/td><td>$<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t.ajc-ad-product-table {\n\t\t\t\twidth: 380px;\n\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t.ajc-ad-product-table.center {\n\t\t\t\tdisplay: block;\n\t\t\t\tmargin: 20px auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t.ajc-ad-product-table.left {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin: 5px 20px 20px 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t.ajc-ad-product-table.right {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: right;\n\t\t\t\tmargin: 5px 0 20px 20px;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t<\/style>\n\n\t\t<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe class=\"lazyload\" style=\"width: 120px;
