The Garmin Edge 520 Plus was a subtantial upgrade, and I have written a detailed analysis of the changes in my <a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/garmin-edge-520-vs-520-plus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Garmin Edge 520 vs 520 Plus post here<\/a>. Then, just a year later, they released yet another upgrade, the Garmin Edge 530. This one was both a hardware and a software upgrade.<\/p>\n<p>As we all know, when a new model comes out, the price of the old model usually goes down a lot. With the result that there has never been a better time to buy a Garmin Edge 520 than right now! If you don&#8217;t need the new features of the Edge 520 Plus or the Edge 530, you are in a strong position to get exactly what you need for a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2vvfO4n\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>much lower price<\/strong><\/a> with the now devalued-by-comparison Garmin Edge 520.

It is an effective and aggressive attempt by Garmin to ward off competition from the likes of Wahoo. But if we bottom line it, the only significant difference between the two bike computers is that <strong>Garmin has added <em>some<\/em> navigation abilities to the Edge 520 Plus<\/strong>. It can now give you turn-by-turn directions in certain circumstances. However, except in limited situations, it <em>cannot<\/em> calculate routes on the fly, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2OSLE3b\">Edge 820<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2Mb5l7Y\">Edge 1030<\/a>.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>If you are a cyclist who likes to get turn-by-turn directions and you plan ahead, the Edge 520 Plus will probably hit the sweet spot for you, because you can download routes to it and get turn-by-turn directions as you ride.<\/li>\n<li>If you are a cyclist who suddenly decides in mid-ride that you want to go somewhere else, and you want your bike computer to give you turn-by-turn directions, the Edge 520 Plus will disappoint you, and you will wish you rather got an 820 or a 1030 (see my <a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/garmin-edge-1030-vs-820-vs-520-plus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">post comparing the Garmin\u00a0 Edge 1030 vs 820 vs 520 Plus<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li>Finally, if you are a cyclist who <strong>doesn&#8217;t need any kind of directions<\/strong>, but wants premium training and connectivity features, you can get a great deal right now on the Edge 520!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Once you make your choice, <strong>please consider clicking through from one of our <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2OUGSlF\">affiliate links<\/a> to buy it<\/strong>.
