How important is it that your GPS can show you maps
while you ride?
Both units can do turn-by-turn directions, and the 520 can do rudimentary maps, but they're very limited. I don't know if the Edge Touring works with sensors (HRM, SPD, CAD) or not.
Both units will be very easy to use on a day to day basis.
