Renewed Garmin Edge 1000 Color Touchscreen 🌈 GPS: Enhanced Navigation at a Fraction of the Cost Review

I really liked this computer until it died. Easy to read, all my sensors are connected and I used it as a Strava backup when I forgot to turn Strava on. The real-time telemetry for watts, heart rate, speed, average speed and distance was really nice since I bike 3 times a week and maybe 120-150 miles a week. However, after about 18 months, the underside of the touchscreen stopped working. I found a workaround by turning the screen off and turning it back on after 3 seconds and if I could hit…

I received my Garmin Edge 1000 within 2 days of ordering. It works fantastic and gives me all the features I need for cycling. The device gives me a lot of flexibility in the performance items I want to monitor and presents that information in a size I can read without glasses. I particularly like the large screen with detailed maps. In my opinion, this feature is a clear advantage over the smaller GPS models from Garmin and other comparable GPS's.

I started creating maps (in appropriate formats) and made several - literally over 20…

This is the least intuitive device I've owned and is often awkward to use. The screen is so bad that you can hardly read it while driving. Today was the last straw that convinced me to write a review. I've only had this PC a few months and haven't added anything other than a course and apps, but when I tried to update the map today I found there wasn't enough memory to add the new update. The instructions said I need to add a microSD card to increase storage to upgrade! WHICH TYPE!? Doesn't…

For the past few years, I've lamented that bike computers are inferior to other consumer electronics, yet cost the same. The Garmin Edge 1000 is no exception to this rule; it still lacks the quality, features and performance of other consumer electronics. But it's much closer than any previous bike computer. I truly believe this is the best bike computer on the market. The bright screen is easy to read in bright sunlight, which automatically dims and even changes color at sunset. For the first…
