Very Disappointed
Previously, I owned a 1030 plus that didn't survive a torrential rain storm. The 1030 plus firmware was very solid. The 1040 is very buggy whether you are using the current firmware or the public beta. Climbpro is very inaccurate and starts sometimes even on flat ground. The grade feature no longer works accurately. I have noticed in the forums many others are having the same issues. The interface is easier to navigate than the 1030 plus. The temperature has never been accurate but I view it more like a heat index on the ride. It could be a nice upgrade to the 1030 if they can solidify the firmware.

I'm probably not optimally using it (yet)
I got this to help with my riding and especially MTB adventures (pre-garmin specific MTB). I like the size to see maps with my aging eyes. I really like the climbpro feature (although could be optimized to the top of some of the common climbs). I like the touchscreen more than I thought I would and how it helps download courses/routes to help me train. I am not sure how reliable the jump/airtime features are, but the noise can be somewhat motivating, and the beep warnings provide anticipation of sharper turns, although annoy my kids when riding with them...I feel I'm still learning and refining my use/data screens to get what I really want/need/enjoy!

GREAT BIKE COMPUTER
I’ve been a cyclist for over 20+ years, I just don’t know how far behind the times I was with my Garmin 510. I was totally impressed with all the functions of the Garmin 1040. This is a great product for on the road or on the trail.

Great product
Amazing bike computer. Love all the features. Easy to set up and personalize. Group track is great to be able to see riding partners that are doing a different route.

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!
