I've had this a month or so. My only complaint is that you can't adjust the varia radar warning lever. It's either on or off. How about a voice that says "car back"?
I went from the 530 to the 1050 and what a difference. The sound is so much louder, bigger better screen and it’s so clear and easy to read. The touch screen is fantastic and the 1050 is so easy to understand and navigate.
I was a little hesitant to buy another Garmin since I had at least three or four that had navigation, last one being the 1040. The tones have helped on upcoming turns. The horn is a great idea if I do ride on a bike path. The view is excellent while navigating a ride which is the most important feature. I have a new bike with the Di2, so this is an asset even though the 1040 has it also. Tons of nice new features that I haven't even tried yet.
Nicer screen, lots of maps, and many training functions I’ll never use. Voice prompts are a very nice addition, especially when navigating with a route file. The bell is nice, but you have to take one hand off the bars to get to it and ring it. It would be nice it you could just add it to a screen like you would speed or distance so it’s easier to ring. One thing that I don’t like is you can’t reset the odometer to zero or update the mileage if you buy an new computer…Make it editable!
Love the hazard warnings and has so many features it will take me awhile to learn and study all the cool features. Love the big colorful screen, so much easier to see and navigate routes! Love love it
I had a 1040 and thought it was _hit. It was like a 2010 smart phone, you couldn't see the darn display. Who cares about battery life if you can't see the display. The 1050, WoW, what a difference that display makes. Bright sun, NO problem. How long will it remain that way, we'll see, but at least I can easily see the display. FANTASTIC
On Saturday's ride no cadence and no power. Changed the Vector batteries (most likely not needed). On Sunday's ride no Speed, Miles, or Elevation Reset the device (and lost data from 2 rides) Let's see what next weekend brings!!!
Very Happy with the 1050 , an improvement from 1040 , seems little faster and screen look more clear in every circumstance , I haven’t check yet all the other functions but overall is the best gsm bike device so far I ever had , this is easy to operate and connect well with all the other bike devices like power meter and shifters , a must for every cyclist
