Here’s a handy trick I picked up over at One More Kilometre that lets you add your contact details to the start-up screen of your Garmin Edge device. I’ve seen this information floating around a few times over the years, but hadn’t taken much notice. My Garmin hardly goes out of sight, pretty much from…
