My first reaction was how horrible the UI has become. First and foremost, there's no easy way to get back to a STARTING place. The online manual is dreadful because there are no pictures to show you what to look for. Too often, they present the order of steps for something, and it's too easy to miss a step because you are looking in the wrong place. The YouTube videos are almost as bad; the people typically go too fast. So, you see, stop, go to your Garmin, and do not see what they showed, so you go back, find where you left off, and go back and forth: it's a mess. \n\n\n\nAs far as performance goes, meh! When I'm riding, my cadence and speed monitors keep flipping out and in, back and forth. Sometimes, I can't get my cadence to link at all. I've called for help, and they sent me the instructions to get some data for them, but the instructions do not work. The guy I talked with had an attitude issue, and it sure sounded like he was wasting his time talking to someone who couldn't figure this out on their own.\n\n\n\nAnd while I'm ranting. As I stated, I'm coming from the 510. There are a slew of features in this one that were not in my previous Garmin. I've tried searching for what any of these new features do and why I would want to use them (let alone figure out how to access them), and I find nothing. Would it have been that hard to provide a basic sentence or two about what the various features are for? \n\n\n\nSo, yes, I am very disappointed with my unit.","textLength":1527,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":false,"autoModerated":false,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":2,"downVotes":0,"orderId":null,"dimensions":[],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":null,"firstName":null,"lastName":null,"emailAddress":null,"externalId":null,"city":null,"state":null,"country":null,"ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":null,"purchaseDate":null,"dateCreated":"2024-05-25T00:00:00-04:00","customData":[],"acceptedTermsAndConditions":true,"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[{"name":"ride tracking","score":0.41},{"name":"cadence","score":0.63}],"syndication":{"sourceName":"Garmin","siteUrl":"https://www.garmin.com/en-US/","logoUrl":"https://images.turnto.com/site/syndicationlogos/1652_LH48.png"},"catalogItems":[{"sku":"3816-010-02694-00","title":"Garmin Edge 540 GPS Bike Computer","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/3816-010-02694-00","category":"cycling-accessories-computers","reviewCount":78,"ratingCount":78,"averageRating":4,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":7,"2":7,"3":5,"4":18,"5":41},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]},{"id":4710957,"locale":"en_US","rating":1,"title":"will return it","text":"this review is based on my opinion:\n\ni started with the Edge 130 and loved it! but at my 48 years of age i needed a bigger screen to read better some of the screens. i got the 540 and guess what!!!! they made the letters smaller! \n\nthe colors of the screen in certain light conditions make it harder to see the (specially the maps) \n\nthe screen brightness in AUTO mode is super low!! i need external light from a lamp to see it clearly and if you turn off the auto brightness off your battery will die mid ride. \n\nin the 130 was basic (i get it) but you would just open it and go riding, but this new 540 the menus are so intricate that you will need an afternoon to set it up as you like it minor annoyance","textLength":707,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":false,"autoModerated":false,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":0,"downVotes":0,"orderId":null,"dimensions":[],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":null,"firstName":null,"lastName":null,"emailAddress":null,"externalId":null,"city":null,"state":null,"country":null,"ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":null,"purchaseDate":null,"dateCreated":"2024-05-22T00:00:00-04:00","customData":[],"acceptedTermsAndConditions":true,"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[],"syndication":{"sourceName":"Garmin","siteUrl":"https://www.garmin.com/en-US/","logoUrl":"https://images.turnto.com/site/syndicationlogos/1652_LH48.png"},"catalogItems":[{"sku":"3816-010-02694-00","title":"Garmin Edge 540 GPS Bike Computer","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/3816-010-02694-00","category":"cycling-accessories-computers","reviewCount":78,"ratingCount":78,"averageRating":4,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":7,"2":7,"3":5,"4":18,"5":41},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]},{"id":4700871,"locale":"en_US","rating":4,"title":"Great investment!","text":"So happy I got the 540!
