It s not as comprehensive as Wahoo s smartphone integration
these require a power meter as well as a heart rate monitor
Garmin s older touchscreens have been awkward to use and sluggish
it takes up most of the stem s length
routes loaded onto the device are stored under saved routes
the battery-saver mode disabled the screen much of the time
Garmin Edge 1030+Initial setup was a little clunky
Garmin has built over the years
Nobody wants a bulky computer in their cockpit
screen took a bit to adjust to the brightness
the transition between different brightness levels is a bit clunky
Accuracy is diminished a little with bulky gloves
performance with gloves could be patchy
it s also one of the heaviest computers on the market
the brakes into a lot of the corners
just a huge jump up from pretty much anything else on the market
lacking some features of rivals
and just look at that price
that the Edge 1030 is a bad product -
old tired micro-USB port
link to forums
too requires a power meter
not compatible
no biggie
Gradient change reaction times are ridiculously SLOW
The Edge 1030 is also marginally heavier than the Edge 1000
GPS units to feel lacking in comparison
isn t nearly as easy as it could be
it is worse than useless
The power button is on the left side
Garmin Edge 1030 Plus is on a handlebar
abundance of settings can easily become overwhelming
Garmin can't connect to all motors
Sometimes it locked up when switching off
data was totally disconnected from the platform and not synchronized with other devices
can't be worn horizontally like the Edge 1000 either
This is impossible to match by an operating system
it's not compatible with the smaller models
This feature is currently only supported on the Edge 1030
Confusing map colour with low contrast
the manual and support are terrible
the colours are a little dull
loading larger routes can be slow
the CONNECT app cannot do is manage your sports profiles
The Edge will then no longer send trip exit alerts
injury and optimise performance
interesting changes that will not be installed on the old model
is no longer offered on the new model
dangerous bends or voice guidance like a car GPS
audible beep signaling turns
sharp corners
alarm When you run inside for coffee or a nature break
with weaker eyesight a highly readable screen
features would be blocked because of no phone connection
s a staggering array of that the unit to display
the units only have maps for their purchase region
it s still sluggish compared to smartphones
No cherry-picked units sent by manufacturers
the three buttons below the display have an undefined pressure point
it takes approximately 30 seconds to a minute to establish a connection with GPS
tactile button only interface
programming can be relatively simple or a bit of a chore
of sweat on the screen and splashes from creeks were inconsequential
missing touchscreen and smaller housing made
no separate desktop route-planning app
The data fields further down the screen will disappear
select the type of terrain depending on the bike you re riding
do not try to change settings while riding
the screen didn t feel cramped or require squinting
Lacks some other features that other more-inexpensive computers has
heavy and expensive
The touch screen is difficult to use with gloves on
Some reports of the live tracking not working consistently
