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

Too bad I can’t make updates
I cannot read anything on my phone in the Connect App to make updates any changes because it’s in a foreign language. When I called they said it is a known problem and they will send an update at some point with no time line available. Very disappointing. I can make changes on the Edge but some things you need to do in the Connect App

Incredibly buggy software
Coming from the Garmin wrist watches the instability and unpredictability of the 1040's software has been aggravating. It has barely gotten better over successive software releases. Check out the user forums for examples from other users. The most recent issue I personally had was that updates to maps with the device only pretty much never succeed because the device turns off before the 10+ hour download completes. And the Garmin Express Mac app always aborted with an "unknown error" until I factory reset the Edge.

more basic features needed to make it functional
I bought this a few weeks ago to go along with the Varia RCT715 that I bought at the same time. The unit works well but I really couldn't hear the sound chime when a car showed up in the radar screen and sadly the 1040 doesn't have volume control like the 1050 so I'm a very safety conscious rider and right now I have buyers remorse because the 1040 doesn't have this feature which makes the Varia RCT715 not as functional as I was hoping. So buyers beware!!!!

What an amazing bike computer!
I upgraded to the 1040 from my *old* 705....yes, you read that right 705.... What a great device. Garmin has always delivered and exceeded my expectations, but I have to say that with the 1040 I'm blown away. The ease of use, feature menu, functionality and intuitive nature make the 1040 a great choice for me. Looking forward to getting many years of service from the new 1040.

Garmin 1040 in the dark
Only way to see the absurdly dim display is to ride in the dark.

Works Great and easy to use
Have had this about a month and find it is easy to use. I was having trouble reading my other Garmin and this one works great for me. The maps are easy to follow and see. Everything else that i have tried also works very well. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who is thinking about a bike computer.

Great got Better
I purchased a new Garmin 1040 when my 1030 finally fell apart after many years of rough roads and use! The new device has many new features which are more user friendly and useful! The navigation has a feature to return to start location via reverse route or most direct! Love it!! The screen display is in color and very easy to read, day or night! The battery life is as good or better than my 1030, which gives me all day riding capacity without worry for power.
