Love it overall

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

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.

Garmin 1040

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

WOW!

I was previously using an Edge 830 and didn't have anything bad to say about it. Just decided to try something different and upgraded to the Edge 1040 Solar. I've used it 3 times so far, and found it very easy to read and set up. The screen is LARGE and Crisp very easy to read. I'm still trying to get used all the features it has available and am constantly changing things to make it more personal to me. MY only complaint is that I haven't been able to figure out how to set my default mountain bike ride to "E'Bike". that is a setting available on the 830 and I've yet to figure out how to set it on the 1040. Overall its an excellent GPS unit and I recommend it to anyone in the market for a cycling computer.

Surprisingly Awesome

I was ready for the solar feature to be gimmicky but I am surprised at how awesome it is. I love the new design language compared to 1030 and previous Garmin Edges. Works well and I am satisfied!
