This compact, easy-to-mount unit pairs seamlessly with Garmin Edge cycling computers (including the Edge 550, Edge 850, and Edge 540 Solar), compatible smartphones via the Varia app, select Garmin smartwatches for haptic/voice alerts, or third-party apps like Ride with GPS for overlaid radar data on maps.
