Worth the upgrade
on September 29, 2023
Posted by: Kaltech NJ
I have been using the 1040 for a while now, I upgraded because of the multi streaming to GPS satellites, 1030 didn't do that! This is rock solid with navigation on complex courses, multi turns, backtracking! Although the battery is not as good, died after 7 hours on one ride, going to try lowering screen, shutting off DI2 connection next time! Didn't go for solar because of what I read screen hard to read, IE old eyes. They need to upgrade the battery, all and all a great unit and good upgrade!

Garmin 1040

The Garmin is showing a lower current speed than my bike computer by 3-5 mph.
The grade on a hill is 9% and the Garmin shows 14%.
Distance to the next turn is shown twice, once on the block for that and also at the bottom when approaching the turn. The two amounts can differ by up to .3 miles. I think one is using the uploaded tcx file and the is using satellite. Very frustrating.
Other than the above three items the Garmin functions well.

Best Garmin. Best cycling computer ever!
Finally, I'm riding at 3 to 6% grade and it reads correctly and very quickly.

Had about a month, really love the larger touch screen functions and larger data characters. Makes it much easier on my 57 yr old eyesight lol
