FB - You can get all sorts of stuff from Garmin. It all depends on what you want it to do...

My last two Garmins did all the regular stuff: Speed, Cadence, HR, Distance. Both record the ride. I think both Autostarted. And Both were Bluetooth and could wirelessly transfer the data.

The more advanced ones can communicate continuously, connected with various websites for tracking data. And the top units had GPS with mapping data and a display. You could upload planned routes and it would give turn by turn directions as you ride.

The Edge 130 Plus looks like a good Unit that includes Bluetooth. It has a Black/White non-touch display. Honestly, this is about all you'll need. It even has crash detection! It will send a text with your location in the event of a crash to your emergency contact.
