  • PositiveThe small bike computer runs for a long time
  • Positivehas Garmin's good map navigation
  • Positiveworks smoothly with Komoot and Strava.
  • NegativeOperation is a matter of getting used to
  • NegativeThe solar function is of limited use.

For whom the Edge 540 Solar is suitable: Above all for cyclists who need a long battery life. All others can save themselves the trouble of charging by sunlight and would be better off investing the 100 euros in the touch control of the Edge 840, which is almost identical in construction.
