New 830
on April 2, 2024
Posted by: GCollins
I had to replace my previous 830 due to my negligence. I left my previous 830 on the bumper of my truck.

GPS signal not detected
on April 11, 2024
Posted by: Elally85
This is a great device when it works. I have used garmin 820, 530, with no problems ever. I don’t know if this problem is all 830 or just mine, I’m pretty sure it isn’t human error. I don’t if it’s hardware or software. For the last few months , in Arizona and in Utah, the 830 would work great for a day or so. Then I would go out riding and it would never find any gps signals, always showing two bars in signal strength. The only way to fix it was to a system reset, kind of a pain and a long time. This has happened over and over. I have the mountain bike package. Wish I knew what was wrong. It’s nice when I get a signal. Tough to get it fixed, I don’t know of any garmin repair shops, lol. Help!

Bad sound
on May 1, 2024
Posted by: David Allen
Love the functionality of the 830 but I bought it primary as a head-unit from my Varia 515 radar and the sound of the alerts is inaudible. I checked with my wife who has exceptional hearing and she verified. In a quiet room you can barely hear them. There is no volume control. I don't understand that could be in an otherwise outstanding unit. Stay away if you need sound.

Some Difficult Instructions
on May 1, 2024
Posted by: Caboose
Love the Edge 830.
Note that I am 76 y.o. The Edge 830 and its data are easily “5 Stars.” However, the online instructions for setup and operation assume everyone is “fluent” with computer and Edge vocabulary. Hence, my rating of only “4 Stars.”
Suggest their be a glossary to include both definitions and synonyms.

Master of all bikes

I use my 830 for my gravel, road and mountain bikes. All bikes are equipped with SRAM AXS which connect seamlessly. The battery charge last forever and the post ride summaries on connect.garmin give it that edge.

Love touch screen vs botns

My 530 died. Replaced it with 830. A little larger screen. So far, a winner.

It fell apart
on June 11, 2024
Posted by: SD Cyclist
I bought a Garmin 830 a year and half ago. Recently when I tried to charge it, it fell apart. The front separated from the back so it is not functional.
