Garmin Edge Explore 3 Plus GPS Bike Computer

Getting lost on a bike ride can be an adventure. Getting lost for the third time while desperately searching for a café? Slightly less enjoyable.

The Garmin Edge Explore 3 Plus is designed to take the guesswork out of cycling, combining detailed navigation, intelligent route planning and hands-free voice control in one easy-to-use GPS bike computer. It even connects with compatible e Bikes to help you keep track of battery levels and available range.

Garmin has clearly thought about the things that make exploring more enjoyable, leaving you free to concentrate on the ride rather than arguing with a map at every junction./Hands Free Voice Control Garmin has given the Edge Explore 3 Plus a rather useful ability: it actually listens to you. Its built-in microphone lets you activate supported voice commands, ask questions and access useful functions without reaching for the screen.

It's particularly handy when navigating unfamiliar roads, allowing you to concentrate on riding instead of fiddling with your cycling computer. A device that follows directions rather than arguing about them.

How refreshing. The integrated speaker adds another layer of convenience, delivering spoken navigation prompts, road hazard warnings and supported messaging alerts.

You can also exchange text and voice messages through Garmin Messenger using a compatible connected smartphone. It's a natural way to interact with your device while keeping your hands on the handlebars, although you'll still need to do your own pedalling.//E-Bike Smart Range Routing and System Integration Range anxiety isn't particularly enjoyable when you're halfway through an unfamiliar ride, especially when the route home involves a few enthusiastic hills.

The Edge Explore 3 Plus can connect wirelessly to compatible e Bike systems, including supported Bosch and Shimano setups, to display battery status, assistance levels and remaining range. It's useful information to have directly on your handlebars rather than buried in another display.

Smart Range Routing takes that connection further, using compatible battery information, assistance settings and your planned course to help you understand the ride ahead. It's a clever way to make route planning more informed and reduce those moments of uncertainty about getting home.

Your e Bike still has to supply the assistance, of course. Garmin hasn't quite perfected wireless battery refilling yet.///Garmin Link Smartwatch CompatibilityIf you already use a Garmin smartwatch, the Edge Explore 3 Plus has a clever way of bringing your cycling information together.

Garmin Link automatically connects a compatible watch when it's powered on and nearby, allowing supported wrist-based heart rate data to appear directly on your bike computer. It's a simple integration that makes keeping track of your effort considerably more convenient.

With heart rate information available on the Edge, you can follow compatible Garmin Coach workouts and monitor how hard you're working without constantly checking your wrist. It helps bring your everyday fitness tracking and cycling activities into one connected experience.

Fewer screens to check, more time to enjoy the ride. Which feels like technology doing exactly what it's supposed to do.

The Full Picture There's something brilliant about heading out on your bike without having every turning planned down to the last metre. A new road, an unfamiliar trail or a slightly ambitious detour can turn an ordinary ride into a proper adventure.

The Garmin Edge Explore 3 Plus is built to make those moments easier, giving you the confidence to explore with detailed maps, clear navigation and some seriously clever technology. It's like having a knowledgeable local cyclist showing you around, only this one doesn't disappear up the road whenever there's a hill.

The Explore 3 Plus brings together a responsive colour touchscreen, bike-specific routing and hands-free voice control to make navigating feel wonderfully straightforward. Its built-in microphone lets you access supported functions without taking your hands off the bars, while the speaker delivers audible navigation prompts and alerts.

Garmin's intelligent route planning helps you discover suitable roads and trails, and compatibility with Bosch, Shimano and other supported e Bike systems brings battery information, assistance levels and smart range routing directly onto the screen. With up to 14 hours of battery life in demanding use and an impressive 48 hours in Battery Saver mode, it's ready for some seriously long days of exploring.

Now you just need to remember where you've parked the car.
