Very readable display

I recently replaced my Garmin 800 with the Garmin 1050. The most noticeable difference is the very clear displays, due mostly to the larger screen. My big disappointment is that the odometer readings canot be edited.

Screen :)

Screen screen screen - the reason I went from the 1040 to the 1050 was the screen. It is so much brighter but it is also way more responsive. No repeated tapping of menu items, it just responds as you would think. You are going to pay a hit from battery life due to the brighter screen. The 1050 is a touch heavier, but in the grand scheme of things it is nothing IMO.
The real game changer for me may seem trivial but the bell is amazing. I have aero bars and can not mount my favorite bell, so now a simple tap tap on the screen and I have a realistic sounding bell. Overall this GPS is fast - it is hard to describe how fast it is - there are normal delays that you have had over the years with the 1000, 1030, 1040 that are now gone
I am very happy with the upgrade

So far, so good. Stepping up from an Edge 530, it's nice having the bigger & better screen. Battery life seems much better, too. I'm still learning all the new features, but this was a good buy during the sale.

Of course I love my Garmin. But I have had to reset it twice as if froze on me, and had to reset all my screens

I've been using for about 3 weeks and have had a great experience since upgrading from an 830. The screens are very visible and very customizable. I love that the Varia radar tone is louder than the other tones set on the unit. I've had zero issues getting RWGPS routes moved to Garmin Connect and on to the 1050. I wish it were a couple ounces lighter, but not a deal breaker. I haven't used the bell yet 'cause I forget it's there :) I still have a lot more to learn to get the full capabilities, but so far... LOVE IT!

Very nice upgrade

Overall very pleased with the 1050, I upgraded from the 1030. Screen view is nice and bright and the auto bright works well. The hazard warning is nice BUT can be frustrating since it notifies of issues nearby and not necessarily on the road you are on. The vast majority of the notices I get are from several streets over from where I am. I will most likely turn this off as it is more annoying than useful. Another issue is the bell. Maybe it’s me but it’s 50/50 when I double tap that I get the bell sometimes I just end up opening another screen that has a button for the bell by the time I realize the problem I've passed the individual. I hope the battery does not swell up and pop out the screen as it did on my 1030. One last thing the thermometer seems to be useless as it way over reads the ambient temp (same as in the 1030). I realize the computer itself gets extra hot with the sun hitting the clear screen. It would be nice if you could have the weather report temp read on the main screen and not just on the sub level.
