Reviews over the
Garmin Edge 1040
4 / 5
A new way of riding with Garmin's Power Guide (Edge 1040 / 840 / 540)
Garmin's power guide has definitely changed the way I ride. I simply don't do a ride without this thing anymore. Power guide will analyze your planned course and segment it according to the profile (ascend / descend). For every segment and based on your FTP (that it calculates) and effort scale that you can adapt, it recommends a power output. You'll need a power meter though, which is an extra cost. The major downside in my opinion is Garmin lack of support for it's both lights used together (headlight Varia UT 800 and RTL 515) I own both and you cannot operate both individually. This is unless you download a Connect IQ app "Smart Bike Lamps".

Great bike computer with a nice large screen
As a navigation system the 1040 is a fine upgrade over the 530, as a training computer I would rather choose the 840.
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Very complete bike computer.
A few weeks in use. A great bike computer that can really provide a lot of info while cycling. You can upload pre-made routes but also let the computer determine a route for you based on a distance. A very complete computer with lots of possibilities.

4 / 5
More extensive and faster than ever, but takes some getting used to
Nice upgrade from the 830, many more features, especially in training support, new controls take some getting used to, but works well and comprehensive
