the display is great! the promised functionality is very good. the problem is the inconsistent Bluetooth connection. when it works its great, when it doesn't its very frustrating. As it is, it's better than my Edge 810, but I'm hoping a software update will solve the connection issues.
Plus
Good screen visibility
Easier to program than the 510 or 520
Like the wifi connectibility
Minus
You have to download some basemaps
Doesn't work with fullfinger gloves
Matching sensors not always easy
I use the Edge mostly to capture information and for when I'm doing training rides, the screens are very easy to read and customize. The Strava integration and turn by turn maps are also pretty great, one to give that extra motivation to push in a climb, the other to try new routes without having to look at the phone all the time.
I'm waiting to get power meters and get the full extension of the product, but for now even connecting to the DI2 is pretty awesome. Definitely recommend
Much better viewing the screen in any light including bright light then the old 1000, the STRAVA segments work great, I think you have to go premium. maps and route directions work great also
Great product the screen is more clear and vivid has more functions than the 100-
Upgraded from my Garmin Edge 1000. Like most Garmin Edge computers there are some bugs to the system to start but they correct them within a reasonable amount of time. Its a great computer and does everything I want it to do. I recommend it and am very happy with my purchase.
Really like the heart rate load results.
The Edge 1030 has everything my Edge 1000 had plus more! Larger screen, longer battery life, ClimbPro, etc.
Perfect intuitive device. Never get lost
There is no screen available for average mph as you ride. This is important to get avg. mph respectable before you get home.
Great service and always there to answer questions promptly!
I have done many orders and always found prices on the lower end quality products.
Thank you

It seems hard to just go for a ride trying to navigate multiple screens. I do appreciate the incident report aspect and the bright screen yet I would like the ability to password protect the device and make voice commands.
