Garmin 010-02424-00 Edge 1030 Plus, GPS Cycling/Bike Computer, On-Device Workout Suggestions, ClimbPro Pacing Guidance and More

Over the years I have used at least 2 other types of Cycling computers. The Wahoo Elemnt and the more basic Garmin. I found it difficult fumbling to press the correct buttons to switch between screens/functions, etc. while on the out front mount.

It included all the maps without needing to add a storage disc.

If you have used other Edge products you will have no problem setting up and using the 1030 plus.

The touchscreen (IMO) is now a must have. I upgraded from a GARMIN 530 and the 1030 is a leaps forward for convenience and ease of use.

I love the long lasting battery. I rode Ramrod (150 mile ride around Mt. Rainier - 10,000 feet of climbing) and still had 70% battery life when I got home. I was running a radar unit, phone, power meter and monitoring my battery level of the DI2. Works flawlessly - Garmin has great tech support to set up your garmin also!

Does a good job of recording my various bike route times, distances, etc..

Display is unreadable indoors. User interface is cluttered and difficult to navigate. Bluetooth pairing was flaky and unreliable. I sent it back after one day. I much prefer my Wahoo Elemnt Roam.

Upgraded from an Edge 1000 because we missed a turn and extended our ride by many miles. This 1030 is more like an iPhone telling you when when to turn, how long to the turn, and larger font and brighter colors. Also has a get back to the start function in case you need to get back quick.

Ive had the 1030 for 3 years now. It is OK, in that it is good at the most basic of functions, but it is not intuitive and changing anything on it is a choir. However, the touch screen just started acting unresponsive and very slow one day. Some research shows Garmin knows about this issue and started a replacement program, but at a cost of $150.
