Okay

Bought this to replace a 530 that was on its way out. Some updated features which are okay but some are annoying. Climb pro being one that I find really finicky. The stamina feature is kind of cool. Buttons are a bit clunky although bigger and more pronounced than the 530.

Maps? We don't need no stinking maps!

I got the Edge 540 for my Pinarello Dogma F/SRAM Red AXS bike, as an upgrade from my Edge 130-Plus. I ride for fitness and got the 540 for its integration with SRAM shifters and the additional fitness tracking features. Maps I don't need. I plan my routes in advance so I always know exactly where I am going. I'm not one of those people who doesn't know how to read a map and needs a computer to tell them where they are or what to expect down the road. I guess if someone is traveling to places unknown and wants a computer to tell them where they are the map features could be useful. But really, they could just learn how to read a paper map and figure out their route that way. Personally, I wish Garmin would make computers for people like me whose main focus is physical fitness and performance. All the added navigation features just bloat up the computer needlessly. Seriously, I think Garmin focuses on navigation because they think all the pretty maps will make their products more attractive to novice riders. But a lot of us serious cyclists don't need or want them.

Edge 540 has Improved Features

I purchased my Edge 540 a month ago to replace my Edge 530 which was great but was damaged beyond repair in a crash. I think the improved features of the 540 are great. I am completely satisfied with my new Edge 540.

I found it a little less intuitive than a touchscreen would be, but it is less money than the 840. Going back, I'd probably get the 840, but if the cost is your primary concern, this device works great and does all it promises and more!

Great computer with hi accuracy

The small form factor and high accuracy beats using a smartphone to track rides. The ability to load routing directions has been helpful when exploring new areas. Lots a mounting options too.

entry level is the right level

having this device and cross shopping the higher end models I'm waaaay happy I didn't spend more on the higher end ones. the storage is good enough, and using the buttons only is perfect bc I ride with gloves anyway. I say either go 540 or get a second mortgage and buy the 1040 if you want more screen
