                The only differences between the Edge 520 and the 520 Plus worth noting are those related to maps and navigation. If you need a bike computer that you can use for navigation because it will calculate routes to some places, and give you turn-by-turn directions, then you are need an Edge 520 Plus rather than an Edge 520.Jul 29, 2018
