When I am riding a bike I don\u2019t want to be peering at written instructions \u2013 <strong>I prefer a voice just telling me what to do<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u00a0<strong>Unfortunately, no such thing exists, and I wish someone would get around to inventing one.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>UPDATE: <\/strong>It is now possible to use <strong>Google Maps<\/strong> on your smart phone plus headphones to get <strong>spoken turn-by-turn directions<\/strong>. If you choose a destination and tell the app you are cycling, a voice will give you directions. It&#8217;s not perfect, because sometimes it tells you to use very busy roads (whereas Garmin Edge using cycling specific maps). However, if you stick to quieter roads, Google Maps will recalculate, and continue to direct you. If I did this, I would only use the headphone in one ear so I could still hear traffic. <a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/choose-safest-headphones-cycling\/\">Here&#8217;s my post on how to choose the safest headphones for cycling<\/a>.<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The video below gives you an introduction to what the <strong>Garmin Edge Touring <\/strong>bike computer can do.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MA9V1M2ikqs<\/p>\n<h3>Tourers or Commuters?<\/h3>\n<p>Judging by the name, Garmin is targeting this bike computer at touring cyclists, rather than commuters, which I find odd.

When I ripped it open I saw that the Garmin Edge Touring is fairly large (it does have to show maps, after all). But it\u2019s attractively styled in black and white. The manual is not supplied and must be downloaded. The only manual in the box was an amusing sheet of paper that featured a round stick person doing apparently incomprehensible things with a giant Garmin Edge Touring. After a while I realized he was demonstrating the simple quarter-turn mounting for the Garmin.<\/p>\n<p>I like this eco-friendly option.

As in &#8220;turn left on Parker St. after 500 feet.&#8221; It will squeak to alert you to an upcoming turn, and squeak again if you miss your turn. This missed turn alert is very handy if you become absorbed in the scenery and forget to consult your bike computer occasionally.<\/p>\n<p>As you approach your turn, you get a visual countdown of how far the turn is, so it is fairly hard to miss it &#8211; even for me, although I do manage occasionally. Luckily, if you do go off-course, the unit\u00a0the unit will recalculate a new route, just as a car GPS does when you ignore it.<\/p>\n<p>One of the best things about the squeaks is that once you reach your destination, the Garmin Touring plays a succession of <strong>happy, congratulatory squeaks<\/strong>. That&#8217;s fun!

This is a HUGE plus. It\u2019s not as easy as without gloves, but it is possible. I cycle to work in sometimes pitch-darkness on secondary roads and off-road tracks. Before I had the Garmin Edge Touring , I often missed turns. But now I KNOW that I have to turn because of the squeaking. Plus the <strong>screen lights up<\/strong> so you can glance down to see what you are supposed to be doing.<\/p>\n<h3>Other things the Garmin Edge Touring does<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10935\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10935\" style=\"width: 172px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2cDReqa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"10935\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/review-garmin-edge-touring\/garmin-edge-touring-navigator-gps-bike-computer-compass\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Garmin-Edge-Touring-Navigator-GPS-Bike-Computer-compass.jpeg?fit=172%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"172,300\" 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 Touring Navigator GPS Bike Computer compass\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Garmin Edge Touring Navigator GPS Bike Computer compass&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Garmin Edge Touring Navigator GPS Bike Computer compass&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Garmin-Edge-Touring-Navigator-GPS-Bike-Computer-compass.jpeg?fit=172%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Garmin-Edge-Touring-Navigator-GPS-Bike-Computer-compass.jpeg?fit=172%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-10935 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Garmin-Edge-Touring-Navigator-GPS-Bike-Computer-compass.jpeg\" alt=\"Garmin Edge Touring Navigator GPS Bike Computer Review.

The only things I am usually interested in are <strong>how fast<\/strong> am I going, and <strong>how far<\/strong> have I gone (i.e., <strong>am I nearly there yet<\/strong>). As with all other Garmins, these are great options. I love having all that data at my fingertips while I am riding, and then being able to upload it to Garmn Connect website.<\/p>\n<p>As with all Edge models, you can use the Edge Touring with the Garmin Connect website. You can upload and save all your rides here, plan new rides and download them to the unit. You can also use it with the Garmin Adventures website where you can share your ride stories and swap routes with other people and enjoy it later. My favorite is being able to see my top speed for each ride, and also being able to go to <strong>&#8220;Reports&#8221; and see how many kilometers I have cycled in the last month<\/strong>. That becomes like a competition with myself, to see if I can cycle more than last month. It also has a <strong>compass mode<\/strong>, which I find useful when I completely lose my sense of direction (all too frequent, which is why I had to buy this in the first place).<\/p>\n<h3>What I LIKE about the Garmin Edge Touring<\/h3>\n<p><strong>I LOVE this little bike computer.<\/strong> It sits there on my handlebars, looking good, telling me what time it is, how fast I am going, how long I have been going, and all those other good things that techie cyclists love to know. I usually keep it in the standard mode of showing data, not the map. AND THEN, just as I am approaching a place I have to turn, it suddenly <strong>lights up, SQUEAKS, switches to map mode, and tells me that my turn is coming up <\/strong>\u2013 such as, &#8220;Turn right on 10th Street&#8221;. Brilliant! \u00a0 Already there have been many, many times when it has saved me from getting off track, as I become zoned out in the pre-dawn or after-dusk, and simply pedal along blindly and sleepily. It has saved my butt on numerous occasions, and for that I am grateful.<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0096855IO\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B0096855IO&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=avejoecyc0e-20&amp;linkId=EV3KCDUIKDJYWFYY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Out-Front Mount<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>In addition to the standard quarter turn handlebar mount, Garmin now offers an out-front mount.
