Anyone who likes to go on an adventure on a bike, like us, is familiar with the phenomenon: halfway through an unfamiliar route, you want to know if there\u2019s a caf\u00e9 nearby, or if you have to turn around suddenly for an off-road route. With the new Garmin Edge 1060<\/a> Just ask your bike computer. The Edge 1060 has a built-in microphone and speaker, so you can navigate and access information without taking your hands off the handlebars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Talking to your bike computer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With \u201cOkay, Garmin,\u201d you activate voice control. Then, for example, you say \u201cNavigate to the nearest coffee shop\u201d or \u201cReport a pothole.\u201d The Edge searches for the route, adjusts the display, or reads the requested information. The navigation instructions also sound through the speaker, as does the digital bicycle bell that lets walkers know you\u2019re approaching on a narrow path. With the Garmin Messenger app and a paired phone, you can send and receive voice messages on the go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
