Why We Like The Garmin Edge 540 Bike Computer
The Garmin Edge 540 Bike Computer is an advanced GPS cycling computer for serious cyclists that provides us with everything we need to be our best on the road, trails, gravel, or stationary trainer. Suggested daily workouts and personalized coaching adapt to our ongoing progress when we connect our compatible heart rate monitor or power meter, providing power targets, stamina insights, and current training load.

Garmin Edge 540
Love it! I have been searching for an accurate way to track mountain bike rides in dense tree coverage and the Garmin 540 is the answer.

Perfect size for my eyes.
I already had the 130; this model is even better but the set up is not as nice as the 130.

Great equipment for a rider.
Compre el equipo hace un mes y me ayuda bastante en mi entrenamiento. I bought the equipment a month ago and it helps me a lot in my training.

Wonderful!
I’m mostly a runner who does bike a little. Using this on my bike with a radar is so much better and worthwhile than using my watch. Took me a few years to finally get it, but I am so glad I did.

Pretty impressive
I bought the 540 to help finding biking trails and actually learning were I have lived my whole life and never taken the time to enjoy it until now, it works, very detailed, still learning the device, a lot of info jammed in it, not to hard just learning a new one, and yes the sos emergency features do work, I found out first hand over the handle bars

Edge 540
I find it difficult to turn off features that I do not want, navigating the screens is confusing and setting up profiles is not intuitive. There is very limited information in the manual on how to set up, turn on/off features and other information about using the computer. There are too many features added that I do not need. Sometimes less in more.

Even better than the 530!
I needed to replace my original Edge 530 and I am glad I did.

Great map
Bought this as an upgrade from a 130 plus. Love the setting options. Smart drink option especially. Nice to see street names when I change my commute to work route. Bike alarm will be a nice piece of mind when I forget my cable lock on a cafe ride

Garmin is the leader
I upgraded from the 530+ and it was worth it - the mapping features, climb features, and the ability to pull in your paired devices is a great addition - and I am sure there are features that I am yet to discover -
