Excelenre

Es un súper gps, es fácil de ver mientras se maneja la bicicleta y las bases lo mantienen muy bien estable

Tried to upgrade from an Edge 1000, but FAIL FAIL and FAIL!

It helps you to keep your cadence and effort.

I previously had an Edge 520 before I got the 1030 Plus. There is no real comparison. Then 1030 is bigger, in color and sensitive to touch like a cell phone. I use theap constantly to ride in new areas and look for alternative routes while riding.

I am a long distance cyclist. I was able to link the Garmin Edge 1030 to my smart phone and download a course from ridewithgps. The Edge was easy to use for short rides and I was easily able to upload them to Strava. However, when I attempted a 400K ride this past Saturday with the external battery pack the unit ran out of power much earlier than expected (about 10 hours vs the expected 40 hours). Had to go into battery conserve mode, but unit eventually went dead. I suspect there could have been a problem tapping into the external battery. Both the Edge 1030 and external battery pack were fully charged prior to the 400K. Also, the unit can easily steer you in the wrong direction if the ride with gps course has overlapping sections. I found that out the hard way by going off course over the high bridge E of Ft Pierce FL.

Works as advertised

The heart rate strap never gives consistent or accurate readings. The basic in ride readings on the device are nice. Haven’t really used the map features as I usually know where am going.
