love the displace

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.
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.
The small form factor and high accuracy beats using a smartphone to track rides. The ability to load routing directions has been helpful when exploring new areas. Lots a mounting options too.
Like the additional features, don't like the new interface menu or the small font used in different windows. The 530 I thought was a little more logical and practical to use and navigate.
only used it twice, so far I love it. I do want to chance the display function to have how many miles I have in the forefront. the default is my speed. just a preference
having this device and cross shopping the higher end models I'm waaaay happy I didn't spend more on the higher end ones. the storage is good enough, and using the buttons only is perfect bc I ride with gloves anyway. I say either go 540 or get a second mortgage and buy the 1040 if you want more screen
