Garmin Edge 1040 Solar GPS Bike Computer | 2022 Cycling GPS Computer with VO2 Max, Maps, & Multi-GNSS | Cycle Bundle with PlayBetter Tempered Glass Screen, Black Case & MTB Mounts

I love the editable data fields, multiple screens that can be edited, and the overall functionality. I am totally into glancing at progress and trip data on my rides, and this 1030 Plus has everything I could ask for. I have had no problem at all, and it has been very accurate over the 300+ miles Ive rode with it. Battery life is also great, and will last through 4-5 of my 25-30 mile rides easily.

Es un súper gps, es fácil de ver mientras se maneja la bicicleta y las bases lo mantienen muy bien estable

I have had a lot of problems with this thing working reliably. Software updates were done but it just sometimes stops working partially or fully. You never know when it might just freak out. Paired with rear radar unit and that feature is nice. Still, I do seem to have to remove and re-add sensors, reset it or just give up sometimes and ignore it. Widh I had not upgraded.

I hate getting lost and love data to understand how Im progressing. Getting lost distracts me from realizing optimal performance; this device keeps me on track and allows me to monitor the grade ahead and prepare for in addition to my tracking my speed and cadence. Its invaluable.

I purchased this since I wanted to upgrade from my edge 500. I’m glad I did. The touch screen is such a welcome feature. I installed it on my bike in 20 minutes. I took that long cause I had to change out the cadence sensor battery and I couldn’t find my stash of batteries otherwise it would’ve been 5-10 minutes. The edge picks up the sensors quickly. The HRM strap is the only one I sometimes have issues with, it will lose connection and not read. I solve that problem by putting some saliva on the pads and it reads instantly. Can’t wait to try it outdoors.

The overview of the Garmin user interface is a bit arcane. I eventually got to where I was very happy with the Edge 700 but it took a while. This is clearly going to take a while too. I would have designed it differently from the beginning.

The sensors on this have greatly improved the quality of my bicycle rides. This device combined with nutritional changes and a good bicycle fit from a physical therapist have enabled me to do all day bicycle rides up and down steep mountain roads without injuring myself. The cadence reading in particular is very helpful because the cadence enables me to know when to change gears. Also I can see my heart rate getting lower during the same intensity rides week after week, which tells me that my heart is getting stronger. Riding without this would be like riding blind. Be aware though that the reseller modified the default settings. At one point I had to do a factory reset and the display and setup was all different. The resellers settings are a reasonable place to start. Changing the settings could be complex, and there are a lot of fine grained variables you could tweak if you really wanted to be scientific about it. The resulting data changes a lot depending on how you have things configured, so you could create a mess if you tried to change the resellers configuration and if you were not prepared to really get into the science of how you want this configured.

Para la bicicleta

Well, this is a fantastic device, in theory.

Battery life is the best
