There are a whole host of other styles of app to include on your Edge 530 just as you would with your smartphone including games if you so wish to while away your recovery hours!
This new Connect IQ feature comes preinstalled with a couple of apps including Strava Routes and Komoot, both allow you to create routes simply on your desktop and transfer to your device. Keeping on the navigational theme, one area that Garmin has been pushing with this latest generation of computers is third party app compatibility. Despite these niggles it is now a really capable, and more importantly, a really reliable navigational computer rather than a cycle computer with some navigational capabilities. Route calculation time is far better than previous versions thanks to a faster processor but dependent upon the length of the route and your location it can still take upwards of thirty seconds to make the route ready to navigate.
It also lacks on-the-fly address-specific and POI (Point of Interest) routing which you'd find on the higher end models. It still is more tedious than the touch screen Edges to browse around the map, owing to the reliance on buttons. One of the main areas in which the Edge 530 has improved over the Edge 520 is in its navigation capabilities. Buttons do make scrolling around the map a little more time consuming. Navigation is similar to the more expensive Edge 830.
