Perfect Bike Computer

This is my second Edge 540, the first perished in a bike crash. I have had a number of computers over the years and this is easily the best, and fits my needs perfectly.

It Does Not Deliver

The buttons and menu are confusing. Few weeks of trying to use the 540 and I still struggle with the basics (start, stop), let alone the turn-by-turn navigation (which is the only reason I wanted a bike computer). The map is also not clear at all. Also, on 2 occasions the GPS dropped so the record is missing large chunks of my ride. So now I ride with my Garmin watch again, and frankly not sure why I should bother bringing the 540 anymore. I just wish I could get turn by turn directions on my Epix or on Garmin Connect which are far superior products.

Gift

It was a Christmas gift and I’m very pleased with the battery life as well as the screen options! Had the 520 since 2015 and loved it but it was time!

Love The Climb Pro

Upgraded from a 530 and love the additional functionality

Great

For the couple of time I have used the 540 it’s been great.
