          Garmin Edge 510 vs Garmin Edge 520 - User Opinions

            Positioning of the 520 in the edge range The unit is smaller than the 510 but slightly larger than the 500 (in other words, it's small). As you'll see below, it improves on the 510's mapping capability but doesn't have true car-style GPS navigation (810/1000).Aug 16, 2015

            At first glance you'll notice that the Garmin 520 is actually smaller than the 510. But don't let the body fool you, the screen is actually larger and besides being larger it also has a higher resolution (and more pixels per inch). But besides this, Garmin managed to make it lighter by 0.7 oz.Nov 7, 2015
