The Sweet Cyclists - Only $90 with navigation! COOSPO CS500 Bike GPS Computer Review - feat. Garmin Mount + USB-C Port

Cycling computers have often been broken up into entry-level, mid-range and high-end buckets where navigation and map view features have been limited to mid-range or above computers. COOSPO’s new CS500 breaks this trend by offering navigation and map views at an impressive $90 price point. Although the navigation is limited to a breadcrumb style view, it’s one of the cheapest computers we’ve seen with the feature. Along with that theme, the CS500 has a number of features such as radar and electronic shifter support that are typically reserved for more expensive computers. The CS500 uses a non-touch 2.5” black and white display and also has a standard Garmin quarter turn mount molded into the body.

On the base of the computer you’ll find a standard quarter-turn Garmin mount molded into the body. The mount uses two protruding tabs which allows you to do a quarter turn lock to install or remove the computer from a mount. It’s a popular mounting design that offers security and quick installation and removal. COOSPO includes a simple handlebar mount which uses two rubber o-rings to secure it to handlebars. We’d highly recommend using an out-front mount instead of this mount though as an out-front mount lets you place the computer directly in front of your stem and even mount lights or cameras underneath it such as the Topeak UTF out-front mount for a sleeker installation.

Visually, the COOSPO CS500 has a compact rectangular profile with rounded corners. The computer has a well sized 2.5” black and white screen with standard sized bezels around it. This is a non-touch screen design which means there are six physical buttons to operate the user interface with clear labels printed next to them. COOSPO branding can be found above the screen and along the front face of the computer. This is a fairly compact computer as well with a thickness of only 14.5mm and slightly angled edges that help break up the otherwise black plastic body. A USB-C port is located on the bottom of the computer with a flush rubber cover to protect it from the elements.
