    The Garmin Edge 130 device doesn't have a map of streets onboard, so it can't tell you which roads to take to get where you want to go.

    Can you charge a Garmin Edge 130 while using it?
    katina.steuber
    about 2 years ago
    The Garmin Edge 130 can be charged while you ride, using an electric bike battery. This makes having a fully charged device much less of a hassle than it normally would be, since it’s becoming more and more difficult to find charging stations.
