I received the package from PlayBetter last week. It took me no longer than 15 minutes to unpack, turn on, install on my bike. All the sensors connected easily with the Garmin 1030. After a couple of rides, I confirmed that this is working perfectly. The Garmin Connect website gives you a lot of functionality that is very useful. I had a question that I asked PlayBetter about. They answered quickly and provided great customer service - thanks!

I purchased this since I wanted to upgrade from my edge 500. I’m glad I did. The touch screen is such a welcome feature. I installed it on my bike in 20 minutes. I took that long cause I had to change out the cadence sensor battery and I couldn’t find my stash of batteries otherwise it would’ve been 5-10 minutes. The edge picks up the sensors quickly. The HRM strap is the only one I sometimes have issues with, it will lose connection and not read. I solve that problem by putting some saliva on the pads and it reads instantly. Can’t wait to try it outdoors.

Great bike computer with loads of features. Worked straight from the box.

Working as planned

The best Garmin

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.

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.
