Easy to use.

I've had my Garmin Egde 1040 for awhile now. I love the touch features. It has great battery life, it connects easily to all my sensors and uploads quickly to Garmin Connect and all my other apps. The screen is also the perfect size for viewing a map.

Just what I was looking for

I upgraded from an older Edge 830, which is still great computer, but needed something easier to read when out riding with my daughter. We just moved to Tennessee and am completely unfamiliar with the trail system here and rely on the maps to keep us from getting lost. It has way more matrix built in than needed, but felt in the long run of things, would be the right choice. Yes, it was expensive than I wanted to spend, but so far am happy with the choice.

Nice Upgrade From My 1030

I bought the 1040 a few weeks ago when my 1030 finally gave out after 5.5 years of almost daily use. Sure the 1030 had its share of glitches. It would sometimes seize and stop recording during rides, requiring a reboot each time. I had to leave it on the charger all night, every night, otherwise it would randomly turn itself on and discharge the battery by morning. But when it worked I was happy with it so I decided to stay with Garmin where I’ve been for many years with multiple devices. So far the 1040 has been great. The display and touchscreen are noticeably improved. I’m still discovering some of the functionality changes and how to operate them. However, I primarily use the basics and this 1040 is excelling with that. I’ve always been impressed with Garmin batteries on all my devices. And since this new 1040 stays off at night as it should, I can get at least three or four rides in on one charge. Looks like I’ll be saving on my electricity bill! The on/off button is more responsive and the device powers up quickly. I like that the device shuts itself off shortly after I download a ride to Connect. If I want to go back into the 1040 it’s no big deal because it powers right up. Another noticeable difference from my 1030 is that rides download so much faster to the Connect app. I don’t need a bunch of bells and whistles, although the 1040 has plenty. I simply want my bike computers to work. So far this 1040 is doing just that.

Good improvement over my 820, menu system horrible

My 820 is losing battery capacity so I looked at what was available from Garmin (I am in to the Garmin ecosystem). The 1040 was a good value for me. I am impressed with the additional features over my 820. However, Garmin still fails in the menu system. They needs to get some user input and not let the coders decide how to do things. The way it is set up is illogical. Also, the default home screen is user unfriendly. I could not find a way to modify what I want on the home screen. The simplicity of the 540 home screen is missed.

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.

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 super helpful. I have also started to use the training screen that guides me to the right heart beat (zone) during the training session (that makes the slow Zone 2 rides a bit more bearable). In summary, I am very happy with the 1040 for the last two weeks (250 miles so far) and highly recommend it.

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
