The Edge 25 is ANT+ compatible and can be paired with a heart rate monitor, cadence sensor and speed sensor. It can be paired with compatible Bluetooth devices, such as smart phones, to instantly upload data to Garmin Connect, including real-time Live Tracking to allow family and friends to follow along. Garmin Connect users can also download courses and follow them on the device, receiving turn indications throughout a ride, and compete against other cyclists on previously ridden courses. Edge 20 users can upload to Garmin Connect and download courses and segments via a PC or Mac.
