Analyzing History

The Edge records an incredible amount of data from your biking activities.  Now that you have this data, put it to work for you by transferring the data to Garmin's TC Application software for analysis and long-term storage.  Once the data is transferred, your course is overlaid on a map, giving you a real-time picture of your performance at any point in your workout.
