Very Frustrating!
on September 30, 2022
Posted by: Spickle
I bought my Garmin 1040 solar fro my current European bikepacking trip. I have spent hours figuring out how to transfer date from Komoot to the Harmin. When I do have it downloaded it is often extremely hard to determine where it is trying to send me. I am not sure if it’s a Komoot or Garmin problem.

I absolutely love the versatility of the 1040. Pairing is exceptional oand data analysis unmatched. I waited for this for awhile and upgraded from the 1000. Makes me feel connected to my bike and body. Worth every cent!!!

Been a Wahooligan mainly, but switching over to the 1040 Solar was definitely worth it. Amazing bike computer with some very nice features. Highly recommended.

AMAZING BATTERY LIFE

I'm used to having to pull of my cycling computer and charging it after every ride. I've had this unit for 3 weeks and put 500 miles on it and charged it initially and one other time. I woke up early one day and started my long ride before sunrise which definitely impacted how much more battery was used. I really like how easy it integrated my HR monitor and how fast it paired with my phone. I do wish that getting turn by turn directions in an urban area was more intuitive but once you do it a few times it gets easier. The turn by turn could be a bit more accurate or I think I'd prefer it to provide a notification earlier. Especially left turns. I want more time to get into a left turn lane while cycling. Other than that I love the product.

My 810 finally bit the dust…it was great too! The 1040 was super easy to set up and get riding. It has a lot more stats than th 810 too which is great!
