How to Properly Set Up Your Garmin Edge 520

From Bicycling

When the Garmin Edge 520 was launched in 2015, it sure left an impression. With plenty of options—it could do nearly everything the Garmin Edge 810 and 1000 were capable of—a compact, light design with actual buttons, and great battery life, it's become a common favorite among cyclists. (Our test director is still a big fan.)

With so many features, however, it can seem time-consuming to get yours set up properly once out of the box. (And unlike Wahoo's ELEMNT, you can't set up the 520 just from your phone.) It's not as difficult as it seems, however; here, we show just what you need to do to get your Garmin Edge 520 road-ready.
