Posted by: Mattk5170
I bought this about a month ago for a bikepacking trip.. I’m coming from a 540 and my vision is not what it used to be..love the size of the font etc..love the touch screen and ease of the features.. transferring maps are so easy as well.. I’m not a super techy person but so far everything is very easy to navigate..

Very easy to read day or night. Battery is great. Menus make sense. Dumped my Karoo 3 after using this. When comparing , nobody is even in the same ball park here .

Great Bike Computer

The 2nd time out, my mount broke (aftermarket) and rolled down the street, falling off at 14mph. The case and screen protector stopped the scratches and the computer still worked fine afterwards. I have since replaced the mount. Computer is "Durable".

Outstanding device!

Purchased this last month while on vacation, after forgetting my 1040 at home. What a step up in speed and ease of use. This device provides fast, accurate data and is highly responsive to use. Zero lag and integrates seamlessly with the collection of devices I already have. Wonderful upgrade!

You won’t regret it!

Absolutely love the new Garmin 1050! The large screen and easy-to-read text make it super user-friendly, even in bright light. Battery life is solid—even without battery saver mode, it lasts a long time. The digital bell is hands-down my favorite feature—makes me feel like a kid again every time I use it!
Another big plus is how well it connects with Garmin Connect—you get daily training suggestions sent right to the device. You can even pair it with your Garmin watch for a fully connected training experience.
If you’re thinking about upgrading, stop thinking and go for it. You won’t regret it!

Overall Great Training Tool
on June 19, 2025

Pros:
- The screen and battery life are amazing!
- The unit is very responsive. (minus in the navigation map)
- The unit is very responsive. (minus in the navigation map)
Cons/ Concerns:
- You don't see that the battery calls for 100% when charging, mine shows a maximum of 99%.
- Some voice commands sound distorted or like the speaker is damaged, and this is not at 100% volume.
- My device will not continue to download the topo map in sleep mode, as the unit claims to be able to do. So I had to leave the device for 5 hours ON to download the file.
- Navigation Map is slow and lags, even with most map features turned off.

upgrade garmin gps 1000 to 1050
on June 21, 2025
Posted by: RobDH
Just upgrade to the new Garmin bike gps 1050 and love it. Simple to use, clearer and brighter screen, simple prompts and great battery life. Hopefully get 10 years out of this one too. Surprised the screen (or useable screen) was not a bit bigger but zoom in and out is much quicker now, so not a big issue.
