Navigate with ease

To help keep cyclists on course wherever their ride takes them, Edge Explore 3 and Edge Explore 3 Plus offer simple, yet detailed bike-specific maps, turn-by-turn directions and more:

• Route options: See different route options and make more informed decisions about which to take based on ride time, total elevation, bike type and more.
• Up Ahead: Select points of interest that matter most – like coffee shops, restrooms or gas stations – and see updates for the nearest ones along a route.
• Road hazards alerts: Get alerted to hazards¹ reported by fellow Garmin cyclists, like potholes, road closures and even aggressive animals, and contribute real-time edits.
• Free Flow Routing: To keep their rhythm while riding, cyclists can find routes with fewer stops, intersections or slowdowns.

Built-in speaker and microphone

Cyclists can use voice control to operate Edge Explore 3 Plus hands-free. Cyclists can request a new route, ask for their in-ride fitness stats, report a road hazard, change screens and more. Cyclists can also use the microphone to send voice messages through the on-device Garmin Messenger app¹. And with the integrated speaker, Edge Explore 3 Plus can play voice messages from other Garmin Messenger^™ app users, read out in-ride stats and provide workout and navigation prompts. The speaker also acts as a digital bike bell, alerting pedestrians of approaching cyclists.
