Great bike computer

I upgraded to an Edge 1040 Solar from an Edge 820, which I used for 5-6 years. I love having a bigger screen, where I can show up to 10 data fields at once. I also love that I don't need to charge it after every ride or worry about whether the battery will last to the end of a longer ride.

I did a 27 hour ride (literally) and I ended it with 50% battery. I also love the new home page layout

Best Garmin product yet

Having owned many Garmin products over the past 20 years, I can say that the 1040 Solar is one of the best new Garmin products I have ever used. It works, very few bugs, great design, and user friendly. Good job product team!

Worth upgrading for impressive performance
on September 2, 2022
Posted by: Danl
Upgraded from a 530. Loading courses and navigating is super duper fast. I really enjoy the larger size and I wasn't originally a fan of touchscreens but this is responsive and doesn't jump around in inclement weather. Very easy to use while focusing on traffic and road conditions. Battery life seems to be forever. I'm excited to try this on multidsy touring. I have been struggling to get to the home screen during a ride and the pausing navigation sometimes doesn't work but Garmin has been working through bugs. One last thought - the speaker is really loud to the point where I just disable it on those early morning neighborhood rides.

Being a ride in my 70, I found the 1040 fast to respond to input and very simple to operate.

Disappointed

When I receive a message, the font is way to small and do hard to read with that black background. So disappointed. I have to look at my phone to read them.

Phenomenal

It’s great product. I highly recommend it. The maps and syncing work. Once you add the screens you want to view during an activity, it’s full steam ahead!
