Huge upgrade, great computer

I upgraded from a 520 and the difference is amazing. I love the larger screen, being configurable via the app on my phone is a huge plus, the mapping is nice, and the beep when I'm on the last gears on the cassette is really cool. Battery life is amazing, and overall it's a really nice computer. Took a few rides to get the settings right, but would recommend to anyone looking for a new bike computer.
6th Garmin Product...and they still perform better than expected

I've owned 6 Garmin's over the last 6+ years (cycling, running, tris and scale) and they have always exceeded my expectations. The Edge 540 worked great for a recent bike packing trip. Easy to set up and to download maps from ride GPS. Well done.
It was a breeze to set up and pair with my existing equipment (garmin watch, polar HR monitor) and to attach to the bike. Battery life is outstanding, and GPS accuracy has been excellent.
Nice updates from the 530. The menu seems more intuitive then the 530 was. I am an older rider that only wants to see any improvements at all in my health as I train for the rest of my life not races. Great for newer riders to learn how their rides influence their health maybe useful to experts who don't need all the data on a rest day.
I really like this Garmin. With my advancing years, I can edit the view screens so they're easy to see. My only issue is that the handlebar mount for my road bike doesn't place the computer quite far enough away from the bar. I have to squeeze my fingers in between to push the start/stop and lap buttons. Otherwise, it's a super design.
