Edge 1030 Plus

This is my third or fourth Garmin which I use for cycling. I wanted a device that would provide a good map, download routes and rides easily, give me turn by turn directions, and provide adequate battery for 4-5 hour rides. My previous Garmin was the Edge 1000 which under-performed from the very beginning (low battery life, hit and miss on syncing with Garmin Connect, failed auto start most times). The Edge 1030 so far has performed impeccably. Figuring out the data screens took some time and I am still working on that. This device has multiple functions that I do not use so figuring out how to disable or ignore them requires manual reading. Battery life running a course or route has been good so far. Quite pleased with this device so far.

The best cycling computer that you can buy. When paired with the tail light you have safety at its best. My wife loves the tracking feature so that she can see where I am to make sure that I am not off the road in a ditch. Also the incident alarm sends out your location if you go down. Can't beat all the features that this one has.

The large screen is great to easily find and sort data. Screen pages are highly customizable to show only what you want. Battery life lasts multiple rides (2-5 hours each) before needing a charge. Easy to save and share favorite routes with other riders. Syncs great with other Garmin devices, but sometimes will drop my Polar HR monitor. Overall solid biking computer

I have had this for a couple of years, has never failed on a ride. Battery will last all day and them some. Mapping features very good. Would like to see a better display. Would like an easier way to send a destination from my phone (such as google maps) to my Edge 1030.

Great device, LOADED with features... only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the screen seems washed out and not very vibrant like the Edge 530... The blacks are more of a dark blue and the maps just arent as crisp, but again TONS of features and I am enjoying having the touch screen. Ill add a comparison photo when I get my bike back 👍

I would not ride without the Edge 1030+. It gives me great real time information, and I can add screens and change what they show, with lots or just a few data fields. I take a star off for a few things which I think could easily be made better: 1. Should have USB-C rather than mini USB connector. 2. Many of the data fields are averages and others are real time. It is difficult on some of them to know which are which. 3. Having to set up on the device itself is awkward. It would be great if you could set it up on a computer, and then transfer the setup to the Garmin.

Had Garmin for years, some days works fine, other days wont since after a ride or live track doesn't work, even maps fails.

It's a great device, but I need to follow the slope, and it lacks this feature. Additionally, there is no synchronization between devices like Fenix, which is a significant issue. This also affects other features, such as intensity minutes, which the device does not display.

I have had my 1030 for a little over a year. In the last few months it will not charge when plugged in. You have to pull the plug and reinsert it a few times and once it connects even then it may not stay connected to give it a full charge. Very disappointing. Also yesterday it wouldn't connect with my phone. I had to go through the Bluetooth process twice and never got to use it on a ride so still not sure if it is working properly. Very unsatisfied.

I have no luck with this device. It is most difficult to connect sensors and at time just will not connect. Very frustrating as I have used Garmin cycling devices for 10-15 years with no issues only full function. Not sure what I will do next
