I've used the Garmin Edge 540 on several rides now and works great! I like being able to see all my stats on one screen and having another screen for the map, so easy to use.
This is my second Edge 540, the first perished in a bike crash. I have had a number of computers over the years and this is easily the best, and fits my needs perfectly.
The buttons and menu are confusing. Few weeks of trying to use the 540 and I still struggle with the basics (start, stop), let alone the turn-by-turn navigation (which is the only reason I wanted a bike computer). The map is also not clear at all. Also, on 2 occasions the GPS dropped so the record is missing large chunks of my ride. So now I ride with my Garmin watch again, and frankly not sure why I should bother bringing the 540 anymore. I just wish I could get turn by turn directions on my Epix or on Garmin Connect which are far superior products.
I received this device as a Christmas gift, and I am thoroughly pleased. The Edge 540 stands out as the most remarkable Garmin model currently available.
