I would like my Edge 1050 a lot more if I could download the routes on Ride With My GPS from our clubs RIDE WITH GPS ROUTES

Beats the view of the 1940

The clarity of the 1050 is more than I expected. The radar gives you sound and color interaction with autos in the rear. The selection of type of ride easy to select for trainer rides or outdoor rides. I turned off auto battery/auto pause and sleep because I want to see my data i.e. heart rate speed distance. On auto pause when I started back on my ride after a rest stop Garmin didn't come back on.

I bought my new 1050 as an upgrade for my trusty 1030. I love the bright and colorful interface. Easy to register and transfer profiles and sensors. Only problem has been the radar seemed to disconnect more frequently from 1050

Edge 1050

As a Randonneur I have a specific criteria for a bike computer covering rides from 200 to 1500 kilometers So here is my review
Likes
I like the big numbers, I’m in my 60’s so having such a large display is great.
It pairs easily with everything so that’s good.
Can load big route files Handles 600 kilometers no problem.
Don’t like
Pain in the area you sit on loading maps, just copy the wahoo system,
Battery low level comes on at 35% thatsstill6 hours battery left. It also pauses the ride which is a pain as the computer is so big I have to rotate it to get at the bottom button. Not very well thought out design.
I wish there was a way to unit control my radar. I set it to flash to save battery but when I stop it turns it on to full brightness all the time waisting the radar battery.
Real hard to get things like control points on the map. No idea why this is so complicated
For a mapping company you’re pretty rubbish at map stuff.

This is awesome unit it has all the bells and whistles
coming from a 810 big difference. I just wish the start and lap buttons was on top like the 810.
the battery is perfect for myself who always charges it before a big ride
Happy riding

Great unit but if you have a 1030 or 1040, keep it

The display is brighter and clearer and there is a bell, but not functionally enough better than the 1030 or 1040 to justify the expensive price.
