Garmin New OEM Edge® 1040, 010-02503-10

I had call3ed and ask for help with my Garmin Edge. The battery was running low all the time and won't last through a 50 mile ride. The woman I spoke with was very helpful in changing the settings which has completely fixed the problem. I'm on my 4th ride without a charge where as I barely made one before. Thx for the help.

I took a fall and broke the mounting tabs and screen on my 820. It was a good run for 5 years, so figured I'd just get the newer 850. Saw the deal on the 1040 and figured it might be worth it. Out of the box, the screen is brighter, way larger and the new operating system is much easier to work with. Way more features on it, love that it will show me my shifting on my new SRAM Rival AXS gravel set up as well. Haven't dug too much into all the info it generates, but the better GPS is noticeable on my wooded rides and the map will be great for some upcoming rides in the spring around Vermont.

The main reason I upgraded from an 820 to 1040 was the battery. 820 did everything I needed to do but the battery was horrible. Six hour ride and I was almost done.! Love the 1040 !!! didn't think the biggest screen would make a difference but sure as heck does !

I have had the product for about 3 weeks and have gone on about 12 rides so far. Very impressed with the battery life, screen display, and the features. I upgraded from an Edge 1000 so there are many new features with the Edge 1040. I really enjoy the Climb Pro feature so you can figure out how much effort to put in and how much longer you need to suffer. I cannot wait to try the WO mode on the trainer during the Winter months that I won't be outside.

I upgraded from the 1030 to the 1040 and the differences were amazing!! Like any new products, it took a few rides to familiarize myself with the new layouts. The home screen is very nice with the "at a glance" items. My preference would be to not load all the data screens that you can unselect.

The Edge has everything you could ask for in a cycling computer. The map integration is seamless, the battery life is outstanding, and it comes packed with far more features than I expected. From navigation to performance tracking, it handles it all effortlessly. If you want a reliable, feature-rich companion for every ride, the Edge 1040 is absolutely worth it.

I bought this to replace my Garmin 540, only because I needed a bigger screen. So far I love it! Big display is easy to read and it easy to set up and use. Has all the features of the 540 plus many more that I never thought I'd use. It tracks every hill climb, also warns you that the climb is coming up. Warns you that paved road is turning to gravel/dirt. I use it for an indoor trainer, outdoor on my Tri-bike and on a gravel bike. Works great on every application.

After 3 years of purchase battery seems to drain faster and recharge time takes a long time considering other Garmin products do not. Recently, the audio alerts for heart rate, speed/pace and navigation turn audio prompts do not work. Support has escalated the issue with a diagnostic log to no avail. Support in the past has been good, but this one is lagging. I sometimes question updates that seem to break something and fixed with a future update. Otherwise, the Edge 1040 works well.

Purchased a 1040 after my 1030 plus didn't survive a torrential rain storm. It has a nicer user interface than the 1030 but the software is buggy even the most recent beta version. Grade worked well on the 1030 despite some lag but doesn't work at all on the 1040. As many others have stated even on flat ground it can go from -3% to +3 % in just 50 yards or less. Climbpro doesn't reflect the proper beginning or ending of many climbs even on popular trails. Temperature is still not accurate but I always viewed it more as a heat index. If Garmin could get to a stable working firmware it would be a great bike computer.

No problem with first few rides, but yesterday, 30 km into a ride, Garmin 1040 went into pause mode and stopped recording. After about 5 km, I stopped and turned the unit off. When I restarted it, locked into pause mode again. On the third restart, it started recording normally again. This never papered with my Edge 800 or 510. If it happens again, I'm returning it.
