Improved Fonts
on August 23, 2024
Posted by: Timmer
By far, the biggest improvement of the 540 over the 530 is the improved data screen fonts which is bigger, more bold, and much easier to read

First bike computer. Love it. Works great, so much info. Easy to customize. Have a different rear radar and tells me when it needs to be charged.

I have ridden with it about 3 times. I am getting used to manipulating the screens while on the go. Lots of data available which is nice!

Huge upgrade, great computer
on October 20, 2024
Posted by: Metal7
I upgraded from a 520 and the difference is amazing. I love the larger screen, being configurable via the app on my phone is a huge plus, the mapping is nice, and the beep when I'm on the last gears on the cassette is really cool. Battery life is amazing, and overall it's a really nice computer. Took a few rides to get the settings right, but would recommend to anyone looking for a new bike computer.

Nice hardware, horrible software and firmware.

The hardware itself seems well made, even cutting edge, and the multi-band GPS works very well. However, the firmware in the device and all the software needed to configure it is from the dark ages. I'm a firmware engineer working on embedded systems since they came into existence and I still have LOTS of trouble setting this thing up. In the end it's often impossible to get the hardware to do what you want despite it being completely capable. In my opinion, it's just not worth the hassle for the vast majority of cyclists to bother with Garmin Edge cycling computers. Just get a Wahoo and save yourself an immense amount of frustration. That time is better spent enjoying your rides.

What an improvement over my original 510. It took a little to get used to the buttons and functions, but it’s definitely an improvement.
