Nice upgrade

I’ve had garmin since the 510. I have an old 1000 that was my back, and I bought the 1030 about 3 years ago. Small upgrade. The 1040 interface is very nice. I like the longer battery life.

I have upgraded from a Garmin Edge 800 to this model. I like the functionality and the larger screen. Many great features too.

I have loved the new 1040. I thought the screen was going to be too big, but it's great!

Shut down problems

Bought today and right on day 1, the device ‘hangs’ when power down. I had to google how to reset. Problem repeats on every power down. Regret purchasing this unit.

More Information Equals a Safer Ride
on December 25, 2022
Posted by: Dr. JW
As a cyclist in East Montgomery, AL, I’m always looking for ways to make my rides safer.
That’s why I was so excited to get my Edge 1040. It provides me with an abundance of information that helps me make my rides safer and more enjoyable. The map feature gives me an updated view of the roads I ride on. This is especially helpful when I’m unfamiliar with an area or if I’m riding in unfamiliar terrain (I moved to Alabama to work on an Air Force Base there). Knowing where I’m going and being able to plan my route ahead of time can make a huge difference in my safety.
I’ve also programmed alerts for hydration and fuel. Knowing I’m taking in enough water and fuel can make a huge difference in my performance and safety on the road. Having this information always at my fingertips helps me stay on top of my hydration and fuel needs so I can stay safe and comfortable on my ride.
Finally, I’ve attached a versa taillight to my bike computer. This allows me to be warned well in advance of a car approaching from the rear. This is especially helpful on long rides, and I’ve found that it gives me added peace of mind as I’m out on the road. Overall, my Edge has been a great asset in making my rides safer and more enjoyable. Having more information helps me plan my rides better, take the necessary precautions to stay hydrated and fueled, and to be warned of approaching vehicles.
If you’re looking for ways to make your rides safer, get the 1040.

Love the improvements!

This is a big step up from the 1030 version. The new OS interface is super slick, and the faster processor and more memory make this blazing fast at start-up; no more waiting around for satellites! I use this paired with multiple bikes and Ant+ sensors, power, lights, HR, etc and it has no trouble with anything. I opted for the nonsolar version as I have the plug-in battery option from my 1030. Overall highly recommended!

Fabulous product! I had the Edge 1030. Very similar. Happy with this one too. The screen is big so you see well the routes. Very nice for bikepacking. Also the battery is amazing. You don't have to charge it often. And there is a mode battery economy. Perfect for everybody who want to go on adventures

I've had them all since about 15 years ago. This 1040 is the easiest to use and really nice.
