Not much better than 530..830..1030 ..

I bought this 2months ago and its already playing up ..just like all the other models you have to keep resending them back as they always develop a fault.. As for the relaibility factor the price should be less than a tenth of what you pay.. The support is terrible they just want you to disappear..Going to try other brands..they just cannot be this unreliable..The old style bike comuter is hard to go past..they always work...

I like all the features, but sometimes mid-ride the screen seems to take on amindof it’s own…..it changes without any input from me?

This thing knows my local trails better than I do!
on October 19, 2022
Posted by: Postal Larry
I've used my knew Edge 1040 for a couple of months. The first time I was on a local trail it startled me with an alert of an up coming "Sharp Bend". Since I knew the trail I was not using the map function at that time. I switched to the map and was pleasantly surprised it knew every turn coming up and continued to alert me of the ones it considered sharp. The only issue I have had is with responding to text messages. It is not consistent in when it will allow me to respond (or I'm not understanding how to use the function). It should be a "no brainer", maybe I'm over thinking it. The other issue i have is with the response messages available. They are VERY limited. My Vivo SQ has an option via the phone app that allows me to add messages that are more customized to my needs and remove ones I'll not use very often. It would be nice to see this on the Edge.

Love the music player!

I just purchased my Garmin 1040 a couple of weeks ago. I had a 1030 model that I also liked but when I found out about the music feature I had to upgrade I’ve been hoping Garmin would have something like this for some time now. It is so much easier to change volume or go to another song than using my Apple watch.
