Great Screen
on July 25, 2024
Posted by: RonCon
The screen is very clear and the new Edge 1050 was so easy to set compared with my previous experience. The screen seems to be much faster and the battery lasts a long time. It was very east to get my speed, cadence and heart rate monitor added. Impressed

Good & Bad

So the screen, the brightness, the speaker, the touch, the battery life are all great.
the downside, you can not use live strava segments when navigating a route. You can use one or the other but not both at the same time. This is a deal breaker and it is such a shame as the device is top of the line. Spent hours online with Chat support with no resolve. This is a major feature that works on other head units,

Fast responsive screen. Navigation route execution is way faster. Grade measurements were good on a sunny day but on a cloudy day even with good maps response the grade numbers did not update reliably.

Pros
1) Bright and sharp enough display

Cons
1) Displays "Failed to get Basemap version" after removing or adding any map
2) Auto reroute does not work
3) Voice course guidance does not work
4) Failed to load map data using Garmin Express on a MacBook Pro M1

I have been a Garmin user for years. I find it just works like you expect it to. And I love the new bell function. I get a kick out of it every time I use it.

Only thing I found was that when you use it with the 15 seconds backlight on it goes completely black when the 15 seconds is up

Totally awesome

Having a speaker is game changer. Bell option, directions, radar beeps etc all make this best of best CPU. Had the 1040 solar, battery on 1050 is way more than I’ll ever need. Daily rider with 8hrs max ride for me and usual is under 2hrs. Great color display with all the added graphics make this easy on eyes.
