It probably can record your routes for use over and over again. I ride mostly roads so it the best for GPS and bike computer that there is.

Nope. Although I understand that the Edge Touring Cycling Computer is better on trails. See the Adventure Cyclist Magazine for a recent review of this computer. You can contact the author of that review (Josh Tack) at jtack@adventurecycling.org I have both an Edge 510 and Edge 810, with the map chip, and neither one seems able to identify a bike trail.

If your referring to the navigation function it works on both presuming you have downloaded the waypoints. I use on both my mountain and road bike and mountain bike and it works great.

Yes definitely, it moves over rugged terrain and hills with little effort. It's great for hiking and trails.

I haven't used it yet but it does track where you have gone so that you can take the same way back. I bought it for equine trails. The map is not loaded but I found a sight where it's only around 9 bucks. You can fine many different maps there. It's called way points. You set way point & it draws a line from one to the next. You can set as many as you want on your trail. I plan to set one at every trail head. https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/maps/on-the-trail-maps/c452-c456-p1.html

Yes it does. We use it riding quads in the desert. It tracks existing trails, POIs and where we traveled. The manual is almost useless. Just play with it.

Yep it does both and it will stay where you put it on a road bike at least. I can see it maybe moving around a little on a mtn bike on a rough trail though.

I ride a road bike but have used this at night on a tree covered trail that goes through the country side in the rain for a 25 mile ride 5 times a week. It does have multiple brightness settings. I ride a paved trail, I can see sticks, small animals on side of trail but it is flat. Not sure how shadows would show for bumps or dips in dirt.

You need to contact garmin & ask them what type of map you need to load on the instrument to d o this. I have city navigator which is good for road biking. You may need a topographical map.

Yes we have used it on wilderness biking routes. The Magellan has a better algorithm for showing altitude than the Garmin and is generally pretty accurate.

Mine does not show trails. Right out of the box it doesn't even show country roads. It only had the US geology map whatyacallit thing. I had to buy the US maps add in. Now once you ride a route you can save it as a course and repeat it. It still show ou traveling out in the middle of white space between known roads.

No, but I've use it on a road bike and I can't see any reason why it won't work on a mountain bike. I too ride mountain bikes and it seems this would work. I think the strap that goes around the stem would keep it up right over bumpy trails.

It will work on regular road handle bars. That is how I use mine. Road bike, road handlebars.

Was good for most rides. However, when the trail became very bumpy my experience was very different. I ride a small frame, so spacing and clearances are very limited. In bumpy conditions, the action of the rear suspension allowed the bottom of the bottle to rub the tire, damaging the attached cage and releasing the bottle.

It can. I ride around on bad roads all the time and at times the mount slips a little. Fairly easy to adjust while riding though. Could also try putting painting/masking tape on the bike to lessen the likelihood of slipping though.

It works on pavement and other outdoor surfaces, but not grass or dirt. The wheels are the same a roller blades or razor scooters.

Yes it works with other apps. It's all Bluetooth connected. I use map my ride and road bike and everything works.
