The next generation and is a plus.

Where do you start......this replaced my 1030 Edge. Nothing really wrong with my 1030 but figured after almost 2 years since the release of the 1040 it had most bugs worked out. Now that said, it worked almost flawlessly moving over sensors from the 1030 to the new 1040 except it wouldn't properly allow my Garmin Varia 515 sync up with my Assioma power meters synced. So I had to load the power meters another way which then allowed my radar to hook in. My other issue on the second ride was my SRAM AXS wireless shifting dropped for some unknown reason and had to reload it manually and now it works again. So that were the initial first few ride bugs. Now to likes.......the face-lift of the system screens are a definite plus and the added metrics over the 1030. One could never utilize them all I suspect but they are there for you. I also noticed if my phone is synced and I receive a text with a picture.....it is displayed on the screen even in color unlike even getting a picture on the 1030. The font and metrics seem slightly better to the eyes and programming the 1040 is more intuitive to me......not that the 1030 was bad, just seems the 1040 is better setup for the user. The other main things I like best is better battery longevity and quicker response time which is in part mainly to a quicker processor. If you are a 1030 or 1030 Plus user is this newer Garmin worth running out to buy? No, not really. But if you value quicker processor speed, great screen, more metric settings, ClimbPro, more intuitive setup, longer battery time.....then it is worth purchasing and especially if you have had your 1030 for around 5 years or more. I do think the price point is still north of after two years being released it should be for the non-solar version. It really should be at tops a $450 cycling computer as I suspect in the near future a 1050 is in wait.

Generally great

I upgraded to this from the 1000 Explore and the 1030, which gave me some problems. I've only used the 1040 a few times. Navigation is important to me, but the 1040 is not as good. It is funky to start, can't preview route easily, including which way the route goes from the start. I cannot pair with 1030 to get previously ridden courses. And I liked having two small fields on map screen. As for biometrics, I'd like max heart rate, not %. As with all past and previous garmin devices, the calories burned is ridiculous. I'm a small female with a low heart rate, so my device will say I've maybe burned 500 calories on a hard, hilly 70-mile ride. Garmin gets confused pairing my scosche arm strap for reading heart rate with cadence. I always have to check if sensors are paired correctly, which is a pain. It's possible I'm doing some things wrong, I realize, but I've used 3 generations of edge 1000-xxx devices.

Great cycling computer

I previously and currently own an Edge 530 cycling computer. I upgraded to the Edge 1040 primarily for the larger screen (at my age my eyes are failing me) and also the touch screen - but it when on sale. It is nice to be able to flip between the information screen/pages by swiping on the touch screen rather trying to find the page up / page down physical buttons. The multi-band GPS feature is nice for better GPS accuracy, especially when in tough GPS signal conditions (eg between tall city buildings and dense forest). However, as good as the Edge 1040 is I do not see much advantage to it over my older Edge 530, there are no new feature that I feel are "must have" on the Edge 1040.

Very average

Have used my new Garmin 1040 for about 2 months. Satisfied with the additional functions of the unit, of which I probably only use 50% of the available. Pleased with the increased font size on 1040, much easier to see. One thing I'm very dissatisfied with is the temperature function of the Garmin. I've found while riding and the Garmin is in the sunlight, the unit reads anywhere from 8 to 11 degrees higher than guys I ride with that are using a Garmin 1030 and 1030+. In defense of the Garmin, I put the unit outside for 1 hour prior to a ride, it is within 1-2 degrees of the outside air temp. I've also put it on a counter in the house, and again, it's with a degree or 2 of other units. I called Garmin product support and asked if this was normal? The response, try moving it to a different spot on your handle bars or just put it in you pocket...That's exactly what I bought an expensive unit for: to put it in a pocket??? Nice support Garmin. Have owned 2 other Garmin GPS's with no temperature issues as this new unit.

Very dissatisfied with Garmin's response.

Syncs with Ant+ sensors quickly

The map navigation features are easier to see and manipulate compared to the Garmin 530. The battery life is great. I used to charge the 530 after every ride now I can charge after 5 rides. I considered to solar version but since I am in Seattle I didn�t think it would provide much extra range. Glad i saved the 100 dollars since the non-solar battery lasts so long. Overall the computer is a good upgrade from the 530. Most noticeable is the startup speed. Also liked the new Home Screen which makes it easy.to select workouts or routes to follow without having to hunt in submenus.

Worthwhile upgrade

I use this computer on my road bike, gravel bike and indoor trainer. It is a significant upgrade over the 530 Edge that I previously used, especially regarding navigation in the woods riding trails. This is my first touch screen and I use it with winter gloves without issue. The additional metrics are o.k. As an ageing cyclist I appreciate the larger screen; easier to see outside and indoors on the trainer too. It's quite expensive but BTD had it a a great price.

Good Graphics and Battery Life

I bought this Edge 1040 as my Edge 1030 battery was no longer keeping a charge so I was looking for new device. I read the DCrainmaker review and found this device should meet my longevity requirements. I have so far done a few 40 to 50 mile rides which have only taken my 1040 down to around 93 percent which really works for me. Also, as a side benefit the new graphics is so much cleaner and easier to read which is definitely great for my old eyes.

1040 - Nice Upgrade from 530 but Issues

Got this1040 to upgrade from 530. Particularly interested in bigger map screen and better map controls. No disappointment there. Display is great. Processor works so much faster - a delight. Haven't done any of the bells and whistles like work outs, etc. Battery life is great - don't see need for Solar. Cons: Just like the 530, the Group Connect is something my group has yet to have any success with - major disappointment. Also, hoping for a firmware update on the Climbing screen - there is a major lag from where you are on a climb and what the screen shows. Too bad because the graphics on the screen are great. Dark red means you will be suffering.

Improved Computer But....

This is a much improved bike computer. It is easy to read and battery lasts a long time. The only downside is the gradient calculation. It has a significant lag. This needs to be improved by Garmin.

Amazing update

I have been riding with a Garmin Edge, which is bullet proof. It's never gave me any problem or reason to upgrade. Finally there is a new Edge to upgrade to. The screen is so much brighter and easier to read that the 1000. The touch screen is flawless and the buttons underneath make more space. The battery life is awesome.

SO Many Useful And Fun Features On This Garmin 1040

This new Garmin 1040 was an upgrade from my old 820, these aging eyes appreciate the MUCH larger screen / display. Also very much like the fact that the display is "ON" all of the time (I've already sold the 820, there may have been an option to have the screen on all of the time on that old unit, and I just didn't know of it). Regardless, battery life on the new 1040 seems excellent. LOVE the many options for data field display, easily configurable. Also, completely seamless and easy transfer of settings and preferences from old unit to new, that was welcomed. Garmin does it right!

Garmin rasies the bar.

In moving from the 1030 Plus to the 1040 here are the differences I've found. The biggest difference I've noticed is the presence of new climb screens. Whenever you approach something Garmin has labelled a climb the data pops up on your screen. The 1040 set up is faster and less glitchy than the 1030 Plus and everything just happens more quickly. The Accuweather app now takes three steps to access instead of one which is a bother. Is the 1040 worth the difference vs the 1030 Plus? Probably not. After selling my 1030 Plus the 1040 was only $150 more than I got for the 1030 Plus so that made it okay.

Many more improvements and refinements than I expected.

I depended on my Edge 1030. Then I broke it. Purely pilot error. The 1040 is the replacement. Way more battery capacity. Better graphics and user interface. New features I didn't expect -- like stamina and power guide -- are useful additions. Almost glad I broke the 1030!
