Customizing Your Device
Connect IQ Downloadable Features
You can add Connect IQ features to your device from Garmin
and other providers using the Garmin Connect Mobile app. You
can customize your device with data fields, widgets, and apps.
Data Fields: Allow you to download new data fields that present
sensor, activity, and history data in new ways. You can add
Connect IQ data fields to built-in features and pages.
Widgets: Provide information at a glance, including sensor data
and notifications.
Apps: Add interactive features to your device, such as new
outdoor and fitness activity types.
Profiles
The Edge has several ways for you to customize the device,
including profiles. Profiles are a collection of settings that
optimize your device based on how you are using it. For
example, you can create different settings and views for training
and mountain biking.
When you are using a profile and you change settings such as
data fields or units of measurement, the changes are saved
automatically as part of the profile.
Activity Profiles: You can create activity profiles for each type
of biking. For example, you can create a separate activity
profile for training, for racing, and for mountain biking. The
activity profile includes customized data pages, activity totals,
alerts, training zones (such as heart rate and speed), training
settings (such as Auto Pause
®
and Auto Lap
®
), and navigation
settings.
User Profile: You can update your gender, age, weight, height,
and lifetime athlete settings. The device uses this information
to calculate accurate ride data.
