Rated 5 out of 5

Worth the cost

I have done a couple rides and it definitely helps having a larger screen (versus the 530), especially when using the map. The training features and prompts took a minute to get used to, but are very intuitive. The only con is that when I was out on a long ride using the map, it crashed. Luckily I was able to restart it and continue on my way.

Great GPS so far!

I brought this as a combo heart rate monitor/GPS/Stat machine. So far I am loving this. From the videos I have seen there is so much more for me to learn. Looking forward to squeezing the MOST out of this.

Not user friendly. I don't see my screen charging via solar?

Migrated from Shimano E-Tube Ride on iPhone

It took a while to find the apps or whatever you call them to get the Edge 1040 Solar to have all the data and graphics of the iPhone running E-Tube that i've used for 3 years. I wanted to have the phone accessible for pics, texts, calls, etc. so bought the 1040... Wow initially very underwelmed by the Edge 1040 Solar. But after searching and installing various add-ons, i I now have the map and 6 windows of data. If I'd known it took 3rd party apps, and the map is still only about 50% as good as what's on e-tube iPhone app, i probably would have saved my money. But like i said, i wanted to have the iPhone separate, so it is what it is.

Sensors won't connect until device is rebooted

I like this device. It has many great features, but it also has one really annoying issue. Many times after waking my bike up, the Rally pedals will want to be calibrated. After running calibration, all the sensors disconnected from the Edge and won't reconnect until I fully power down and restart the Edge 1040 Solar. I can't seem to find any solution.

Incredible battery life

Have used this for around a month and have only charged it once. The connection to my rear light radar is much better thus drastically improving the battery life of my light as well.

Nice upgrade from Bontrager Edge1030

Great upgrade from the 1030, which was also very good. Screen information and data is presented well and brighter. The controls are more intuitive. Mapping is clearer. It's just a good bike computer.

I like this alot

This 1040 solar replaces my 1030 Edge. The graphics and navigation are significantly improved. I enjoy the extra range that the solar charging allows, although you pay for the privilege. As expected, the integration with other Garmin accessories (cadence, radar) is excellent.

Works well so far

I've had a chance to ride with it for a couple of weeks now. Not certain what I feel about the new UI. New fonts and colors are good. Not happy that it keeps asking me to set up Di2 buttons when they have been set up already.

Makes Navigating Self-Guided Adventures Easier

Being more of an adventure rider, I love the ability to build a route and pan and scan the map when you're unsure where the next turn is or if something blocks your way - like a washed-out road or private property. Beyond all of the expected quality features of a Garmin, having the solar to keep the battery topped up is a huge benefit for those back-to-back long days too.

great features - sure tuff get'r going

1st time Garmin user - fast easy efficent, that is not what I am feeling. I want to start with the basics. Speed distance and mapping, this has not been easy nor has it been intuitive. How do you load a map in? Yup, I purchased a MAP set for a pending trip. So far $700 plus dollars of not so easy ?. Ohhh I'm sure it'll end working perfect, I'm not there yet.

Awesome Bike Computer

I previously used the 530, and upgraded to the 1040. It is a great bike computer. I love the bigger display and the amount of data it provides. The touch screen with the ability to swipe and touch as opposed to button navigation of the smaller 530 is helpful while riding, particularly when on my mountain bike. I'm still exploring all of the features. The only challenge I have has been to discover how to use all of these features, which are many.

Great added features!

Finding extra features on my new 1040 to give me more insight to my training and my attempt to bring my body back to pre-incident days. I don't recommend getting hit by a car, but I do recommend this computer.

Graphic Are Beautiful

I upgraded from the Garmin 1030 which was a reliable unit. The 1st thing I noticed was the clarity of the screen and the improved graphics. My aging eyes love it. I've only used my 1040 solar on two rides currently. Looking forward to using all it features.

Best Edge

I was reluctant to Bunyan 1040 because of the size, but went for it. The bigger screen is actually the best feature. So much easier to see with just a glance. I also really like the workout function.

I love Garmin.

Just upgraded my 1030 and am very happy with the new features and speed of the processor. The ability to customize these units is astonishing. Linked to varia radar, power meters, headlights, and heart rate monitors, there is nothing you can't monitor or do. Training goals are easy to understand and reach. Especially when linked to other Garmin products like a fitness watch or in my case a Descent. Amazing!

Device good, documentation weak

The bike computer seems terrific with a bazillion features and capabilities. Figuring out how to use them is difficult. The manual is just a checklist of screen menus. Some documentation or training videos showing how to use the device for typical use cases would go a long way tp helping customers get the most put of their purchase.

Incredible Metrics

After three weeks still discovering much of what this device can do. Love configuring different data screens for various metrics. Fantastic integration with Rally RK200 pedals, Varia RTL515, Varia UT800, dual HRM and speed sensor 2. Still figuring out which apps and data fields to use from ConnectIQ. Highly recommend!

Don't wait to upgrade

I upgraded from a several-year-old 1030, and boy did I wait too long. The battery life is amazing, especially in the cold (even without solar). The unit is far more responsive. The data screens and display are way better. All-around, it was money well spent to move on from the old device, especially for longer rides in poor / cold conditions.
