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

I have owned quite a few different Garmin products. The form, fit and function of this Edge 1030 Plus is amazing. With the addition of the silicone case, it is a great package that I would recommend to anyone with the money to spend on this high end unit. I already had the speed, cadence, and heart rate monitors, so the transition from the Edge 1030 to the Plus was almost seamless.

Battery life is the best

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

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.

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?

This is the top of the line Garmin cycling computer, and I have no complains about the hardware. Battery life is good. The touch screen is okayish.

Great screen size to observe while cycling.

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

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.

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:
