» Garmin's Edge 1000 is a high-end GPS bike computer that can be connected to a smartphone via Bluetooth to keep all records, or even share them online, with Garmin Connect mobile app. This smartphone application allows each user to do performance comparison with others riders on the same route. To increase the level of competition, riders can also use the Garmin Connect website to set a "Virtual Race" with preset checkpoints and post it on popular social networks.

This excellent website also allows real time tracking with the Live Tracking feature. For a connected lifestyle, the device comes with Smart Notification: a mode that uses Wi-Fi or Bluetooth 4.0 to display incoming calls as well as new SMSs or emails from a paired smartphone. The Edge 1000 is compatible with ANT+ for a precise measurement of heart rate, biking speed and cadence.

The Cloud is definitely spectacular, and the usual suspects jumped onto the bandwagon — unfortunately so did certain CEOs captivated by glossy handouts and presentations, as usual not bothering to first check in with their system administrators. This is new, bleeding-edge technology that should typically be something from which an organisation steers clear until it has matured.

Listening to traffic-situation reports on radio stations can be useful, as can rolling down the window to ask for directions from locals in the know like motorcycle-taxi drivers, but both of those options are necessarily limited.
