Garmin Edge Explore 3 Plus 3-Inch GPS Cycling Computer - 010-04661-10

Garmin 010-04661-10 Edge Explore 3 Plus 3-Inch GPS Cycling Computer

The Garmin 010-04661-10 Edge Explore 3 Plus GPS cycling computer brings bike-oriented turn guidance, a 3 in touchscreen and a built-in speaker and microphone to recreational rides and everyday commutes. Compare routes by time, ascent and bicycle type, or use Free Flow Routing to seek fewer interruptions. Battery life reaches up to 14 hours in demanding use or up to 48 hours in battery save mode. Spoken controls reduce the need to touch the screen, while Garmin Cycling Coach adds beginner-focused adaptive training with a compatible watch or heart-rate monitor.

Key Features

Bike-Oriented Navigation and Free Flow Routing

Weigh riding time against climbing before choosing your route, and compare alternatives for your bicycle type. Once you set off, bike-oriented turn guidance helps you follow the way ahead. Free Flow Routing looks for routes with fewer interruptions, while on-device course creation lets you build a course directly on the computer. Storage for 100 courses keeps multiple riding plans available.

Up Ahead and Phone Map Sharing

Choose the categories of stops that matter to your ride, then use Up Ahead to see them along your course. When you have already found a destination in Google Maps or Apple Maps on your phone, transfer it to the computer for bicycle routing rather than starting your destination search again.

Community Hazard Reports

With a smartphone connected through Garmin Connect, receive road-hazard reports from other cyclists and contribute updates of your own. Voice reporting gives you another way to share changing conditions without reaching for the touchscreen, adding rider-supplied information to your route guidance.

Built-In Speaker, Microphone and Digital Bike Bell

Use the wake phrase or hold the back button to ask for available ride data, navigation help or screen changes instead of working through menus. US English is supported, and requests depend on the functions and information available on the device.¹ Hear guidance and messages through the speaker, sound a digital bike bell, or use voice messaging through the Garmin Messenger app. Garmin neither records nor retains voice used for voice-command operation.

Garmin Cycling Coach and Wrist Heart Rate

Take a beginner-focused approach to fitness with adaptive training when using a compatible watch or heart-rate monitor. Garmin Link reconnects a previously paired compatible Garmin watch so you can view wrist heart-rate estimates on the cycling computer.² Event-specific daily workout suggestions provide another training option as your riding develops.

eBike Information and Commuter Insights

A compatible eBike can share assistance and battery information with the computer, making those details part of your ride information. The readings available depend on the eBike model. For everyday travel, commuter activities also provide carbon-savings information alongside the cycling experience.

Up to 14 Hours in Demanding Use

The rechargeable lithium-ion battery is rated for up to 14 hours in demanding use and up to 48 hours in battery save mode.³ Choose the mode around your use of navigation, connected sensors and screen lighting. Battery save mode disables wake-phrase listening, but holding the back button still activates voice commands, so spoken interaction remains available when conserving power.

3 in Touchscreen and Connected Ride Data

Read ride information and work with navigation on a 360 x 640-pixel liquid crystal display. Bluetooth, ANT+ and Wi-Fi provide connectivity, with smartphone compatibility for iPhone and Android. Choose between the included flush out-front mount and standard mount to position the computer on your bike; a tether and charging/data cable are also included.

Footnotes:

¹ Voice recognition is available only in selected languages and depends on riding conditions. The supported dialect must match the selected device language. Wind, noise, or a blocked or wet microphone can hinder recognition.

² Wrist heart-rate readings are estimates. Garmin heart-rate monitors are not medical devices and are not intended for medical use.

³ The demanding-use battery test used multi-GNSS, four sensors, always-on automatic backlighting, the map page and wake listening. Battery-saving testing used GPS, two sensors, automatic brightness with a 15-second timeout, the activity timer page and no wake listening. Both scenarios included a connected phone, LiveTrack and course navigation; notification and screen-interaction frequencies differed.

Battery-life estimates come from manufacturer testing under specific conditions and vary with settings, riding conditions and use. Brighter manual backlighting, frequent course alerts and Varia radar can reduce endurance.
