Jury still out
on May 1, 2023
Posted by: Tobycat
I’ve used it on 10 rides now. Set up and menu navigation are both more difficult than my 530+ with seemingly extra steps to get anywhere. Some of the new features like climbing pro are great but…buggy. While claiming you can change two data fields on the screen, you can’t. While customer service was surprised to see that, the “solution” offered - do it on the app, didn’t work. Maybe with more tinkering, I’ll get used to it but for now it appears to be a package perhaps needing some cleanup and/or less ambitious feature set.

I purchased the Edge 540 Solar a month ago and it performs wonderfully. Lots of useful data and easy to use.

Good, but is the Solar Option Worth It?
on May 3, 2023
Posted by: Indiana John
I have had my Garmin 540 Solar for about one month and so far I am very pleased with it. It replaces my Garmin 520 in which the battery died and the upgraded software and features alone make it worth the money. As far as the additional money for the solar option, the jury is still out. If price is an issue, skip the solar and go with the regular 540. I'll know more after I log in a few five to six hour rides.

All aspects are great except one- I wish if I was running my fenix7 and the edge 540 at the same time doing a road cycle event it would group the two events into one event in garmin contact

Significant Forward Progress
on June 15, 2023
Posted by: Revelstoke
My Garmin Edge 520 failed, so I had to look for a replacement computer. I suspected I would stay with Garmin, but I researched several models across brands to make an informed decision. I am glad I did the work but even more delighted that I stuck with Garmin and "upgraded" to the 540 Edge Solar. It is easy to use, and the data points (all of them) are straightforward and functional. This is the most utilitarian bicycle computer I have ever owned and used. Well done, Garmin!

Just bought this sucker. Put it on my bike and ready to roll but can’t get it to start without beeping and this arrow ?? Need to visit the website as no instruction manual came with the box.

Annoying to use - features are not intuitive.
on July 7, 2023
Posted by: Ambu
I bought this devise 2 months ago and have used it about 4 times only just because the device is very difficult to program, The Edge 540 Solar does not have a touch screen. This makes it difficult to program, even when I thought I have it all figured out. There is a constant beeping noice with arrow pointing to the right that comes on when the unit is in the "Train" position. Elapsed time and mileage covered does not record, neither does calories burned. I am not happy with the unit.
