Why We Like The Garmin Edge 540 Bike Computer

Suggested daily workouts and personalized coaching adapt to our ongoing progress when we connect our compatible heart rate monitor or power meter, providing power targets, stamina insights, and current training load.

So many bugs
Got this as a so called up grade to my old Edge 130. Have to confirm the sensors 5 times before each ride. Everything is using the latest software. Have reprogrammed everything multiple times.... avoid buying until they have sorted out these bugs that they known about for sometrime.

Features are fine. Need a larger screen.
As far as the unit goes, it takes too many button presses to make it fluid. Also the screen is too small to be functional for bad eyesight. Luckily it didn’t cost me anything. I would purchase on my own. Would rather use my phone and trail forks app than downloading and having to save all the trails. With as much technology that is available today, it looks like an outdating gaming system for graphics.

love the displace
a great improvement, love the displace and battery life. so many features I haven't tried yet and so many I noticed on a ride and exclaim it can do that. Looking forward to a connecting to a group ride. a little learning curve over my last Garmin I had for the past 7 years.

Garmin edge 540.
I only used Garmin products for 40 years. I am super happy with the Edge 540. It works great with the radar light on the back of my bike, which is a Garmin. I recommend having the Veria RTL515 radar and tail light. This is a big game changer.

Mixed good and bad
Like the additional features, don't like the new interface menu or the small font used in different windows. The 530 I thought was a little more logical and practical to use and navigate.

Awesome bike computer
only used it twice, so far I love it. I do want to chance the display function to have how many miles I have in the forefront. the default is my speed. just a preference
