With a GPS bike computer that you can always rely on, you can ride as long as you want. The Garmin Edge 1040 is ready for any ride, from gravel trails to steep climbs.

I upgraded from a 1030 to this. I wondered for a long time whether it was worth it or should I upgrade directly to a 1050. Luckily I ended up with this one, the screen is great and the upgrade from the previous one is significant. I don't need anything else. The battery lasts well for several days of driving (I don't drive for hours at a time) and the screen is easy to see even in the sun.
Highly recommended!

Also experiences with Edge 840. The larger screen makes navigation much easier and is otherwise more comfortable. The lack of page change and Confirm buttons has not bothered me. Otherwise, similar devices with versatile features. Especially the 1040 has a really long battery life. Varuste.net good price.

The battery lasts well and the screen is more generous. The previous 1000 and some 800 series suffer from battery life, especially in winter when you need a backlight.
Some people praise the newer user interface, I don't see anything in it that would turn me on, the navigation of the main page is not the thing for me, but the data while cycling.

I initially had a Garmin Edge 540 Solar. I didn't like its user experience and somehow the screen felt small. With 1040, both problems were fixed. In addition, this was the first time that the installation of the Garmin device went well the first time, so the device has left a good feeling. It could be that I could get by with the 840, but when there was a price difference between the two when ordering only 70e more, I decided to upgrade the 540 directly to the 1040 instead of the 840. I feel it was worthy of a bigger screen. I don't feel that battery life is of great importance to me.
But now I can see the map better on the screen and according to my understanding, you can also add other information such as speed to the bottom of the map view.
