Ratings & Reviews for Garmin Advanced Bike Gps Computer- Navigation, Performance Tracking, and Smart Connectivity- Enhanced Accuracy

Great size for old eyes

Love the large touchscreen. Very easy to see even in full sun. Plenty of battery life for long rides.

Great computer

I love the computer, the functionality, but there is so much you can customize that it is a bit complex. There is definitely a learning curve, however, I do feel it is worth it. I love having my varia radar, routes, climbs, and all the data right at my fingertips.

Great computer. Upgrade from 520. Love the touch screen

Happy about upgrading from 830 to 1040

I am happy that I upgraded from 830 to 1040 (Garmin Edge 1040 that is, not to the IRS 1040). I wanted a bigger & better display than the 830's to read heart rate, cadence, power as large numbers as well as time, time of day (not to miss the kid's school pickup), distance, and speed in small numbers, all on one screen. Looks great on the 1040. In addition, I like the auto-climb feature, even though the climb data seems to lag a bit behind my actual position. However, the look-ahead info is still ...

The perfect bicycle computer

I was able to download all my ridewithgps routes onto my 1040 for Spain and Portugal and the unit would anounce my up coming turn and distance perfectly. At the end if the day I could see all of stats which were very easy to pull up and my main screen was a cinch to format it with what I wanted to see as I was riding. With its very long battery life I wasn't worried about it dying on me after 6 or more hours in the saddle. or

Buggy

This 1040—like the 1030—is buggy. At least twice with the 1040, and several times with the 1030 and 1030 Plus, I have gone out to ride to find the 1040 charge at 1% even though it had shown 40-50% charge at the end of my previous ride a couple of days earlier. Very frustrating. There is a bug in the software. Otherwise, the 1040 does a good job.

The Perfect Bicyle Computer

This is the most important device on my bike. It records my results, keeps me informed about my other Garmin and Shimano components and provides safety by alerting my of vehicles and other cyclist approaching from behind.

Upgrading my old 1030 to the new 1040

I really enjoyed the ease of replacing my old 1030 to the newer 1040. Most of the features were the same. Overall the device was very user friendly and controls intuitive/instinctive. I did experience an issue with the lap counter and start/stop buttons on the 1040. However I soon realized it was a user error and not a problem with the device. I am very happy with the purchase. I would like to thank Jason again for explaining the errors on my old 1030 along with his advice to upgrade to the 104...

Still under review

Replaced my 1030 and am still learning the differences. This unit does not connect with my DUB like my old unit did, not sure where the disconnect lies. The screen that is integrated with Training Peaks workouts is different and I do not like it as much but, there may be an identical screen which I have not found yet. Other then those 2 issues, I love it.

not up to seed with capabilities

Still learning the process of using the Edge but look foward to mastering it.

Much improved from the 1030

I am most happy with the improved touch screen visibility and responsiveness. It was definitely time for an upgrade.

Fantastic bicycle computer!

I love this bicycle computer. I am a cyclist of decades. Having a bicycle computer makes things interesting. In my opinion, they are an essential complement if you are really into the sport. I upgraded from a Garmin Edge 810. It was a huge jump in many regards. The screen is brighter, the navigation is better, the battery life is plenty for my needs, it has functionality galore. You can pair it with websites like Strava for further analysis of your activity. I love this gadget because it...

Features are a little confusing

I think the user interface could be more user friendly. Admittedly I’m almost 70 years old but I consider myself fairly savvy with technology. I prefer pull down menus.

What a device

Beautiful, great ergonomy, superior responsiveness, and strong battery

Good unit, still needs work.

Overall, this unit performs well, but it lacks compatibility with its watch counterparts and the true-up function, which leads to inaccurate data when used with Garmin Connect.

Great Unit-Could Have Been Better

I like the large screen that provides enough room to have several data boxes without making the data so small that I can't see it. I like that it shows average speed in tenths and hundredths when it is paused, but I would like it so much more if it would display the hundredths on the average speed data box while I am riding. (I feel I would push myself harder if I knew the next MPH was only a few hundredths away) In addition, just like the previous Edges, it has no volume control for alerts; you...

Good for cycling

Not so good if you use to follow a circuit because calculations are too slow. I used before 830 and tools little better

Bought it for the battery life & not disappointed

Had another head unit starting with the letter W and although I prefer the workout screens and data layout of that unit, it was only getting 12hr battery life max, so a daily workout for me ran the battery down 40%. With the 1040 same amount of time on a workout burns roughly 5-6% which is a drastic difference that I much prefer.

Great tool

I really like the 1040 on the bike, I have headlight and rear radar connected really like them the radar is most valuable on the roads, I like the map download and route planning, I ride road, gravel and mountain
