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.

Solid product!
Really hard to set up... (Touch screen is easier to set up). After you figure it out you can use it. Works great and it finds sensors fast. Battery life is awesome.

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!

Delighted with Garmin Edge Purchase
I received this device as a Christmas gift, and I am thoroughly pleased. The Edge 540 stands out as the most remarkable Garmin model currently available.

Excellent after sales service.
I bought a new 530 some time ago. For some reason the charging port developed a fault, I contacted by phone, was instantly given details and faculty to return the faulty device, 4 days later I have new 540 in my possession. No questions asked. I am impressed with this service, well done Garmin.

My new Garmin 540 Edge
Completed my first gravel ride with my new Edge 540 and it was flawless. I LOVED being able to see climbs ahead of me and the grade % during the climb. The "sharp turn ahead" warning was a nice surprise, too! So far...I love this new device.

Great compact cycling computer
I got this a few months ago to replace my old Edge 510. I liked the old one, I've used it for many years. I replaced it with its younger brother. What a progress! The new one has bigger better screen, the GPS functions are fantastic. Despite grey winter days, the solar function keeps the battery fully charged. I'm extremely happy with it.

Everything I expected
So far so good. I love the features, I barely miss the touchscreen (especially since it cold out and I have gloves on most of the time). It loads quickly and tracks really well. The new climbpro is great and the training program I just started is pretty good. The battery life is impressive.

The best thing you will ever buy
Thought I was cool already with my Garmin Edge 130, but I have elevated my coolness by getting the Garmin edge 540 Solar. I have never felt so cool in my life. Highly recommend.

All you ever need in a bike computer
I had a Garmin Edge 530 for six years and decided it was time for a replacement. I decided on the Edge 540 Solar and am glad I did. I have to admit, it took some getting used to. The menus are a little different, but once I got over that hurdle, I love the many features and functionality and would heartily recommend any serious rider try it.

Great UI
Having used bike computers from the big brands and ridden thousands of kms, this is my favorite one yet. The UI is so easy to use. The screen is great and easy to see and it's the perfect size for both racing and training.

Garmin Edge Gets Better and Better
I've had Garmin Edge computers since the 500 and have loved each edition. The 540 is another improvement with the workout screen being my personal favorite. Battery life keeps improving also, which was an issue with older models.

Mixed
Unit operates well. I thought the user instructions were confusing, and this unit has far more capabilities than I will use. For me, the small screen in sunlight became pretty useless, without reading glasses

Solid step up from Edge 530
I upgraded to the 540 and appreciate its additional software features for training. The GPS is improved, as well as the menu navigation and setup. The battery definitely lasts longer and I love the new "main menu". You can set it up with as much or as little data fields and info as you want to see. I do have two complaints. The font on the menus is on the small side compared to the font size of the 530. The other issue is that the backlight is much too dark!! That is a definite problem. 90% on the 540 is still not as bright as 60% on the Edge 530! That is not cool. Overall, it's a good unit for a good price.

We really appreciate your feedback! If you'd like to change the font size on your Edge 540's map, you can do so by following the steps outlined here: http://ms.spr.ly/6423tyzFU As for your concerns about the brightness, we'd like to help with this. When you have the time, please set the backlight of both units to 60%, then take a photo of them side-by-side and upload your picture to this link: http://ms.spr.ly/6424tyzFq Afterward, you can call Garmin Support at 800-800-1020 to discuss this in further detail.

Works great!
This is my first bike computer so it took me a bit to figure it out. Still really don't know what all of the options do but so far it works great! Found some good routes with the app and sent them to the unit fairly easily. Kind of wish I went with the touch screen but the buttons work once you figure them out. So far I really like the unit.
