Pretty Good, But...

The elevation profile feature is nice, but it more often than not does not line up with the actual grades you are on. It is skewed a bit, sometimes by quite a bit. Hopefully that is something that can be fixed in future SW upgrades.
I bought this as a replacement for my 1030 which broke a mounting tab. Though I liked my 1030, I love the 1040! It definitely looks more robust as the mounting tabs a metal and not plastic, the added features are great, and the battery life is insane. Highly recommended!
I had a garmin computer previously but decided to try a different brand. I wasn’t happy so switch back and upgraded to the 1040 computer. Great unit with plenty of data fields and excellent screen layout and visibility
All features worked fine after setting up per instructions. Problems started after the first battery charge. Activity screens disappeared, required stetting up again. Features were turned off. Tracking ceased to function. Subsequent charging resulted in similar lose of previous settings. It has improved somewhat in retaining settings between charging, but some features have not returned.
A nice exchange from the 1030 to the 1040 but there are few features that aren’t there in this one specially for different bikes and few others but in general I’m happy with it
