Garmin Edge® Explore 3 Plus GPS Bike Computer

Discover new tours and record your rides precisely – with the GARMIN Edge® Explore 3 Plus with integrated microphone and speaker. This popular bicycle sat nav receives a high-resolution, brilliant 3-inch LCD touchscreen display in this generation and impresses with the modern design language of the latest Edge series. Use the responsive touchscreen to navigate intuitively, find interesting places nearby or plan routes directly on the device.
