entry level is the right level

having this device and cross shopping the higher end models I'm waaaay happy I didn't spend more on the higher end ones. the storage is good enough, and using the buttons only is perfect bc I ride with gloves anyway. I say either go 540 or get a second mortgage and buy the 1040 if you want more screen

Connectivity to Mountain Bike
on December 1, 2024
Posted by: Neil72
Just bought the Edge 540 to replace my 530 which replaced my 520. I've liked each of them but find they reach a point where the battery is lacking and isn't easily replaceable. Setting up the 540 was easy due to the ability to simply scan a code and virtually all my data was saved to the new
unit. As with the 530, this unit connects to my Orbea Rise E mountain bike which provides precise info about battery range and usage. There are new screen layout options, the unit reacts more quickly and GPS is more accurate. Battery life is expected to be much improved as well. Aside from that, I've always appreciated the size and appearance of these units.

Not all I hoped

I'm still trying to find a computer that will sync right up with Trailforks and allow me to look at that app on the computer, rather than looking at my phone for that information. This does not do the trick. Otherwise, it's a fine computer for normal use.

Great Investment

I've always heard and read nothing but good about the Garmin brand and the great products the company makes. I was shopping around for my first cycling computer and kept seeing this item pop up after countless review online and by a group of friends I decided to give it a try and I will say this the 540 GPS won't disappoint. It's got so many features and easy to use makes me feel like an elite cyclist being able to look back at my ride stats and has helped me grow as an avid cyclist. Great battery life and sleek design. I'm so glad I purchased the bundle it has all that you need. I would recommend this item to any of my friends or family looking for a cycling computer.

Great, except...

The 540 has the same issue that the 520 had. The buttons are far too hard to push. Seems like Garmin could have worked that out by now. Other than that it's a great unit and so far I really like it.
