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

Working as planned

The rubber cover ages in about 2 years and the frequent pressing of the on/off switch eventually breaks that cover. This happens frequently as shown by numerous web sites that provide a make-shift patch switch that you can glue on when this happens. This seems like a serious flaw and wonder if its the same switch setup on the 1030?

It’s the best there is

Ive been using Garmin Edge cycling computers ever since 2014, and for the most part Ive liked them. Ive had the Edge 1000, Edge 1030, and now the Edge 1030 Plus. Unfortunately I couldnt get the Edge 1030 Plus to work with my iPhone 11 Pro. I tried pairing it again and again, and it didnt work until maybe 15 attempts. It finally did pair, but I was nervous that this would be an ongoing problem, so I unpaired it, and tried to pair it again. I was never able to pair it again, so I ended up returning it.

Lots of information still trying to figure most of many options/choices incredible piece!

Great screen size to observe while cycling.

I am a cyclist for over 30 years. I know bike computers. Garmin 1030 is IMPOSSIBLE to program. The layout and organization of the options available is poorly designed and very difficult to navigate. After watching 5 videos and reading the scant instruction booklet twice i was unable to program my device to simply track my cadence. Unless you have a computer program as a spouse I wouldnt waste time on this device. ANY OTHER brand will deliver great information without the frustration, headaches and aggravation. Garmin tried so hard to make this device fancy that they overlooked ease of use and dont care if you understand their logic. Customer support had no idea what a Garmin 1030 looked like - it was some lame customer support service that doesnt even know the product.

Love it tell it how mine miles I want to go. Tell it N ,S , E or W and looks up maps in neighborhood and of I go no more getting lost
