It took a while for me to navigate but once i got used to, it's been great! I really like the detail with climbs coming up, allows be to mentally prepare for what's ahead!
Years ago my son gave me his old Edge 500 and I used it for years. Recently he bought me the 540 and I love it. With the 500 I had to connect a USB cable to my computer to retrieve the ride information. With the 540 it is wireless so a few minutes after I complete my ride the date is transferred to Garmin Connect for review. In addition the backlit and color display are much easier to read.
I really like my new Edge 540. Works for me like a charm. The reason for a 4 star rating. The mounting bracket doesn't clamp/mount as tight has all my previous Garmin Edge computers. I definitely have the safety rope attached.
The 540 is working well. Love that it boots up fast. I am coming from a Wahoo, so there has been some growing pains on learning the system, but I've had zero issues with it.
My old garmin was a hand down and wouldn’t hold a charge I researched a bunch of computers and tried a few friends. This one is perfect the lack of touch screen was my biggest worry it has yet to become an issue. I absolutely love this. Battery life is amazing and usb c charges super fast.
I replaced my Garmin 1030 and haven't regretted my decision. I love the button functions better. The screen is brighter and the overall GPS is more accurate.
