Garmin 1040
on October 9, 2024
Posted by: Garmin 1040
As of late when I load routes from strava the Garmin doesn’t give me turn by turn directions, I am consistently missing turns on my route and sometimes it will show I am off course when I am not, then eventually correct itself.I changed the setting a million times and still get the same results. This is a significant inconvenience because I relocated and I am still learning the area. This last update has made my experience awful. Before the update my turn by turn navigation work fine.

Garmin Edge 1040 is Pretty okay
on October 8, 2024

I have been using my 1040 for about a month. It helps to watch a few YT videos to get it set up and working. Garmin manual is weak at best. It has good features and pairs with cadence, speed, power, and heart rate sensors easily.

Great tool for training

Adds just enough data to help determine progress or fatigue during training. I like the large screen for my eyes as well.

Great screen, really like the larger numbers

I really like the Garmin navigation capabilities as well as the Climb Pro function. The screen setup is very flexible and easy to use. The characters on the screen are slightly larger than my prior computers which is very nice. I can easily read the important parameters while doing workouts.

Can't stand up to rain or sweat
on October 4, 2024
Posted by: Big Crank
I've had this for over a year now. It generally performs well in dry conditions but fails miserably in rain or heavy sweat sessions.
The screen is too sensitive to moisture drops that cause it on screen fields to randomly flip out. On a recent ride in a light rain, my screen completely changed all 8 fields on the display to random fields. The display was completely useless to me. I've had the same thing happen on sweaty trainer sessions.

The Stamina feature on the 1040 takes cycling to another level. It’s takes away the guess work of what’s left in the tank. You’re able to see your numbers to make a determination about your fitness level during your activity. As the saying goes… “the numbers don’t lie”.

Great battery life
on September 25, 2024
Posted by: Indygeowoman
I bought this to replace my Garmin Edge1030 when the battery started to swell. I haven't had it that long but so far I like it. The battery life is amazing and I like the screen clarity. I did have it decide to auto reset about 3 weeks ago for no reason and I lost all my sensor connections and screens I had set up for my various ride types. Not sure why that happened. I won't take 9ff any stars...unless it happens again.

I moved up from a 1030 to the 1040 to use the varia radar on the garmin. It is great!
