Edge Explore. It’s a simpler 1000/1030, [MENTION=152007]less[/MENTION] than half the price of the 1030 ($249). Does fewer of the fitness functions of the 530, 830, 1030, only allows one set of data screens - so no activity profiles, cannot connect to Di2, yet has the same maps and you can add maps. It’s about the same size as the 1000/1030 so has a usable map screen. Good for navigation.

My one and only beef with the Explore is it’s currently not able to use the RWGPS iQ app to BT download a route for navigation. You can do it the older way and USB cable connect to a computer where you downloaded the .fit file, or can use Garmin Connect, which has a decent online course generator and whose files are BT ported to the device.
