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

Great bike computer bundle, does everything as advertized.

Got this for use in EU, but was never able to use EU maps from Garmin. Tech support unable to get it working. Spent several frustrating days trying everything, including open source maps. Ended up returning it.

Item works great!

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 bought this to replace my 310XT which has always worked well but I really wanted a map and turn by turn nav. I am only about 1 week in with the device about 7 rides but I think I now have a pretty good handle on it:

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.

Very easy to setup. Used old configuration from edge 820

Well, this is a fantastic device, in theory.

Excellent quality

The touch screen is huge and excellent. Very easy to customize to view multiple desired metrics during a ride. I upgraded from a Garmin Edge 510 so this is a big leap up in capabilities. Was going to get an Edge 520 but the 1030 was selling for a $200 discount. Have read that the 520 is just as good. Would have given the 1030 5 stars all around, but within two months the battery started behaving oddly - went from 70+% to zero overnight. Couldn’t get it to start so had to do a full reboot at which point it suddenly showed 20% power. We will see if it is happy or if it continues.
