– No advanced metrics like performance indictor, FTP, etc… – No ANT+ Power Meter or Shifting Support – Has a smaller screen than the Edge 1000Īs for the Edge Explore 820, here’s how it’s different than the base Edge 820: – Doesn’t have the micro-SD card slot (for more than 16GB of maps) – Doesn’t have landscape mode (for rotating screen) So are there any things not found on the Edge 820 that are on the Edge 1000?
