According to the product specialist

Pros
Road hazard alerts increase your safety on unfamiliar routes.
The compact design makes the Edge 550 easy to mount on any handlebars.
Multi-band GPS with 5Hz tracking provides highly accurate position information.
Pre-installed maps and compatibility with Trailforks ensure local navigation without the need for pre-ride preparations.
Ride even longer routes thanks to the battery that lasts up to 26 hours when used intensively (and up to 42 hours in battery saver mode).
New multi-band satellite technology gives you the best GPS reception, even when cycling in dense forests or a bustling city.
The Edge 540 gives you insight into your VO2 max, recovery time, training load and teaches you how your body responds to training.
With daily recommended workouts, you'll receive personalised coaching that adjusts itself based on your current training load, recovery and events.
As you cycle, you'll receive insight into your stamina so you can keep track of how much 'fuel' you have left.
Cons
There is no built-in speaker, which limits audio feedback, but visual notifications remain effective.
The Garmin Edge 540, unlike the 840 and 1040, does not have a touchscreen and can only be operated with buttons.
With this model, it is not possible to create routes without your phone or PC.
