Upgrade from the Edge 1000
on August 24, 2022
Posted by: KLRudd
Love the 1040 solar. Larger screen and type size is an excellent improvement. The overall layout and availability of options is excellent. Excellent upgrade.
Not sure the value of the solar option. I gain in power is very small compared to overall use. That said the battery seems to be better, although I have not had a long enough ride to adequately yet

Great Upgrade from Edge1000 with Varia RCT715
on August 24, 2022
Posted by: SMMDan
I purchased the Varia RCT715 earlier this summer and I was pleased with it but my Edge 1000 didn't control the photo function. With the Edge 1040 Solar, the link is great. I ride on Mulholland Drive and it gives me comfort to know that I am getting a video record of the vehicle passing me. Hopefully, those drivers will learn that they are being recorded. Maybe Garmin will see this advertising campaign. Mulholland has lots of curves so drivers need to pay attention. The Solar recovers only 10% as I ride need sunrise.

Love it overall
on August 17, 2022
Posted by: Ricky B
This GPS has been great, in my couple of weeks of usage. It is full of features, of varying importance to me. Most importantly, the unit has a very long life on a single charge. I go bikepacking and being able to do a week long ride on a single charge will be extremely helpful.
The only negative was the unit basically froze one day, I couldn't sync, shut off/restart for awhile and it failed on restart once. I finally managed to get it shut down, and then restarted, but it put me in panic mode. That has been the only issue over 10 or 12 rides so far so I don't have enough experience to know if this may happen more often. Without that one issue, I would have rated it 5 stars..

The ultimate cycle computer
on August 13, 2022
Posted by: J222
I can’t imagine a more comprehensive computer available. Accurate, Discernable while riding, seamless link to sensors, SOLAR charging (haven’t plugged it in in 2 weeks and am still at 70%). Going to be hard to compare to others- except for price- and it’s worth it.

The lap timer does not work. It resets itself after one hour. Is there a way Garmin can fix this bug?
