Edge 1040
Unfortunately the Garmin is not available on a Mac computer desktop or the Finder. Windows has to be used to access all the folders. I do like how RWGPS files go directly to Garmin now. I love the battery longevity compared to my old Edge 530.

Not For Me
Just not my forte. To much nerd techy stuff. It was a quick return for me and back to the Wahoo side.

accessory's don't connect. If you own a smartr go p hone Strava is a better option
Doesn't connect to heart rate or cadence sensor. Cannot distinguish between gravel and pavement. frustrating to use touch screen cycles on its own map slow to update. Must be constantly resynched with phone.

Problem after problem
When it works, it’s great, but when it doesn’t….. Latest issue is the “GRADE”. My 1040 can show1% gradient while climbing 7%, or some similar disparity. GARMIN has been working on this for a couple of months with no solution to my knowledge. They did send a new device, but same problem. Maps are sometimes way off. The most common problem is the Varia Radar515 “disconnecting” while riding. Very scary when you’re used to depending on the radar. Another typical issue is the different elevations & distances between different riders on the same exact ride route. Sometimes the elevations are off by more then 500 ft.

Too much
I purchased this for navigation as the GPS and maps are incredible. However, the actual navigation was inferior to Wahoo. Couldn’t figure out turn by turn, audio notices, and distance to waypoints prompts. Also, you lose the ability to see speed. If I needed a map this detailed, I would look at my phone. I just need the route and reliable navigation. The GPS is superior but, functionally, the Garmin does not help you navigate a course any better than Wahoo. I returned the Garmin 1040 and purchased the Wahoo element 3 and am happier and safer. I just don’t need all that excess data bogging me down. I just want to ride!

Awesome bike computer
I stepped up from the Garmin Edge 530 and WOW! what an upgrade. I really like the larger screen, the touch screen and visibility of the information on the screen It has so much and you can set it up and configure it to however you ride. It syncs perfectly with the Garmin Radar rear light as well. The battery life is great and to this point, I have no complaints at all.
