All you ever need in a bike computer

I had a Garmin Edge 530 for six years and decided it was time for a replacement. I decided on the Edge 540 Solar and am glad I did. I have to admit, it took some getting used to. The menus are a little different, but once I got over that hurdle, I love the many features and functionality and would heartily recommend any serious rider try it.

Works great!

This is my first bike computer so it took me a bit to figure it out. Still really don't know what all of the options do but so far it works great! Found some good routes with the app and sent them to the unit fairly easily. Kind of wish I went with the touch screen but the buttons work once you figure them out. So far I really like the unit.

Great head unit! Buuttt…

This is a great head unit, it bright, strong signal, has a HUGE list of features, and that’s where it loses a star. There are so many things this device can do, I can’t imagine how the will ever come up with a 550. The issue is, I don’t need that many features.
Sure you can turn many of not all of them off but I shouldn’t have to. I prefer for them all to be off and let me add what I want. I don’t want segments for example. Turning them off is a challenge. To clean up the Home Screen I ended up calling support. The navigation is a world apart from my 520Plus and I found it difficult to manage. I’m getting the hang of it but it’s a steep learning curve. Watch videos about this unit, then go get one. If you get one first you’ll be confused. After watching the videos you’ll still want one but you’ll better understand how to manage it.

Garmin? More like Garm-win!

I've tried a few cycling computers from Garmin and I've gotta say this gets the job done and more. The solar aspect ensures that your battery won't quit on you when you aren't ready to quit, yourself. There are so many functions and features that you can tailor the display to what you need and don't need. The app helps a ton in that department. The functions featured in this computer are applicable for pro and amateurs alike. Well worth the investment in a do-it-all headunit.

Great features & wonderful battery life

Picked this up for the Birthday Sale after hearing my friend rave about his 530. It's a massive upgrade from the 130 Plus--the navigation is easy to follow, it has a great heads up display, and it syncs well with my Varia. My only complaint is that all of the menus get a bit convoluted, but there's good help documentation online and I'm sure it's just part of the learning curve. Super excited to keep riding with it!
