The Gold standard
on January 21, 2025
Posted by: Booch
Am I a Garmin Fanboy? yup, and for good reason. These things just work. I wasn't looking for anything super fancy, just a solid head unit to connect my varia, heart rate strap, and cadence sensor...to track my rides. I replaced an older Edge 820 with this 540. I like the buttons over the touch screen (which was less than functional on the 820).

So many bugs
on January 4, 2025
Posted by: trev
Got this as a so called up grade to my old Edge 130. Have to confirm the sensors 5 times before each ride. Everything is using the latest software. Have reprogrammed everything multiple times.... avoid buying until they have sorted out these bugs that they known about for sometrime.

I found it a little less intuitive than a touchscreen would be, but it is less money than the 840. Going back, I'd probably get the 840, but if the cost is your primary concern, this device works great and does all it promises and more!

Features are fine. Need a larger screen.

As far as the unit goes, it takes too many button presses to make it fluid. Also the screen is too small to be functional for bad eyesight. Luckily it didn’t cost me anything. I would purchase on my own. Would rather use my phone and trail forks app than downloading and having to save all the trails. With as much technology that is available today, it looks like an outdating gaming system for graphics.

a great improvement, love the displace and battery life. so many features I haven't tried yet and so many I noticed on a ride and exclaim it can do that. Looking forward to a connecting to a group ride. a little learning curve over my last Garmin I had for the past 7 years.

Garmin edge 540.
on December 11, 2024

I only used Garmin products for 40 years. I am super happy with the Edge 540.
It works great with the radar light on the back of my bike, which is a Garmin.
I recommend having the Veria RTL515 radar and tail light. This is a big game changer.
