Data recording

The Edge uses smart recording. It 

records key points where you change 

direction, speed, or heart rate.

When a third-party power meter  

(

page 28

) is paired, the Edge records 

points every second. Recording 

points every second uses more of the 

available memory on the Edge, but 

creates a very accurate record of your 

ride.
