Doesn’t sync up with some of my sensors and when climbing it indicates that I’m descending!!!
The climb pro option is a waste!

Edge 540 is a great cycling computer
on September 5, 2025
Posted by: Golden boy
I bought this to replace an old Edge 500 because I wanted to track three different bikes with one computer and it just wasn't working with the old 500. The data from the 540 is great. My only complaint is that the initial setup instructions do not come with the computer and the online instructions from either the copilot or google or Garmin do not seem totally complete. There seems to be disagreement on which buttons to use for setup and maybe a step is missing. Once the computer was setup with all three bikes and the sensors, switching between them is easy.

Some really good improvements and one not so good
on September 6, 2025
Posted by: lotojaistheword
Upgraded from Edge 530 and many improvements, starting with the set up that allows the one-click transfer of all the sensors to the new bike. 540 has an even better display (great for viewing the maps) than earlier models and the auto-dimming is improved. The "Climb Pro" feature is amazing but can be distracting if you're doing a climb you know, but it's one click to turn it off. The 540 does a great job of presenting the vast array of cycling metrics available.
Not so good: my device goes blank every 30 minutes or so, stopping all metrics. Garmin support has been pleasant to work with but no fix so far. So if your rides are less than 30 minutes this is a really good device.

Enjoying my new Edge 540
on September 10, 2025
Posted by: JohnUSA
After using my Garmin Edge 520 Plus for the past 7 years it finally died. I replaced it with a new Edge 540 ane, wow, what a difference. It is so much easier to use. With the auto pause as well as advance warnings for turns, I am enjoying my purchase so much. I am now in the process of learning about all the things I can do with it courtesy of the informative Garmin videos.

Love the battery life of the Garmin 540!
on September 13, 2025
Posted by: BikerKevinC
Upgraded from a Garmin 520 and 820 Explore. Love the color display as well as the long lasting battery life! I've used the unit for several 40+ mile rides thus far and still have 50% battery life left. Something I couldn't do with my older units. I like the larger diplay and the climb profile features where it shows an upcoming climb and tracks where you are on the climb wrt percent-gradient.

Issues
on September 16, 2025
Posted by: LEG31
I purchased this item a couple of weeks ago due to the fact my Garmin 130 locked up in a loop (ride in progress, and will not back out), now, with the 540, very nice features....but...I have problems connecting with my Garmin power meter peddles, it wants to use the Trek Domane+ internal power meter, so again, I have to manually make sure before a ride it connects to peddles (the 130 did not do this), now also, it does NOT pick up or connect to the Garmin Vira tail light radar (again, it did with the 130)....I have spent hours trying to connect with no success, but still trying.
