I don't need to charge it each ride like my old one. I recommend for all cyclist. A little bit bigger than my last one, but so much better for the gps.

i chose this garmin because i wanted something that would work with me on becoming a better cyclist which it is helping with! i really like being able to program in ride routes and having that extra safety net for crashes and such. good for cyclists ready to make the jump to a gps computer. solar charging is helpful, but do not rely on it!

no need for a 1040 solar. solar charging is pretty negligible, but the battery life is great.

The Edge 540 Solar Changed my Riding for the Better
on August 22, 2024

The edge 540 Solar from Garmin has completely changed the way that I ride my bike. I went from trying to figure out a route and get back home to uploading a route the night before, and getting to enjoy every second on the trail. I no longer need to worry about where I am going with the Edge 540. The Solar charging is great to have when riding out in sunny conditions and the way that Garmin displays data in it's HUD is superior to all other cycling computers on the market.

Super good

This is nearly perfect, the battery life is super good, it's super quick and it's very accurate. I've been using this for a racing and training and the actual device is amazing. It can be a bit difficult to create routes through the garmin app though. The one problem that I've noticed was when I paired my indoor trainer for the first time, it kept disconnecting and reconnecting. I definitely recommend this if you're looking to train and race.

i could only get 10 hours out of the battery when all the features were on. the solar helps some but definitely not getting the battery life garmin promised.
