Summary

Experts say the Garmin Edge 540 Solar is a bike computer that offers advanced navigation, mapping, and tracking features, as well as a solar panel that can boost its battery life. The device has a 2.6-inch color display, multi-band satellite connectivity, and compatibility with various sensors and accessories. However, it has no touchscreen and a clunky user interface, and the solar option is not very effective and costs more than the standard version.

Experts say the Garmin Edge 540 Solar Bike Computer is a mid-sized device that offers impressive battery life, solar charging, and multi-band satellite connectivity. It has a range of features to help riders with navigation, training, coaching, and climbing. However, it lacks a touchscreen and has a clunky user interface that can be frustrating to navigate. It is a good option for riders who prefer buttons and want a lot of data and customization, but not for those who value simplicity and ease of use.

Experts say the Garmin Edge 540 Solar is a bike computer that combines the features and functions of the popular Garmin Edge 530 with a solar panel that extends its battery life. The solar panel can provide up to 24 hours of extra battery life in optimal conditions, and up to 10% more in typical use. The device has a 2.6-inch color touchscreen that is easy to read and operate, and it can track various metrics such as speed, distance, elevation, heart rate, power, and more. It also has advanced navigation and mapping features, such as turn-by-turn directions, off-road routing, and rider alerts. The Garmin Edge 540 Solar is compatible with various sensors and accessories, such as the Garmin Varia radar and lights, and it can sync with the Garmin Connect app and other third-party apps. The device is durable, water-resistant, and lightweight, making it a great companion for any cyclist.

Petr Minarik

Experts say the Garmin Edge 540 Solar Bike Computer is a feature-rich device that offers full on-device navigation, long battery life, and improved GPS accuracy. It also has a solar panel that can extend the battery life by a few hours in ideal conditions. However, it has no touchscreen display, which makes the user interface less intuitive and user-friendly. It also has thick bezels and requires a wired connection to download maps. The Solar option is not very effective and costs $100 more than the standard version. The experts recommend considering the Edge 840, which has a touchscreen and buttons, or the Edge 830, which is cheaper and has similar features.

Description

Cycling Computer with Targeted Adaptive Coaching! The Garmin Edge 540 is the perfect cycling companion! Prepare for upcoming races or advance in crushing your personal milestone goals. The bright 2.6 key controlled display has a highly visible screen. Up to 42 hours of battery life on a single charge while in a battery saver mode and up to 26 hours while in an intense mode will keep riders active longer so you ride further, and charge less. Improved, simplified setup with a streamlined interface with the courses and tools you need right at your fingertips gets the Edge out of the box and ready to train quicker than ever before. The Garmin Edge 540 Sensor Bundle includes the Garmin Speed and Cadence Sensor 2, HRM-Dual Heart Monitor in addition to the out-front mount, standard mount, tether and USB-C cable. The Garmin Speed and Cadence sensor 2 accessories are easy-to-install wireless sensors that provide live speed, distance and cadence data. The included HRM-Dual heart rate strap transmits real-time heart rate data over ANT+ connectivity and BLUETOOTH and has a 3.5-year battery life. Real-time stamina gives riders insight on their rides to see just how long they can continue training and riding. Daily suggested workouts with targeted adaptive coaching will show riders training prompts on the Edge 540 that pertain specifically to your current training loads, recovery rates, and upcoming events. While you ride, you will see remaining ascent and grades while you climb so you can gauge your efforts and view through the Garmin Connect app on your compatible smartphone for future ride planning. Multi-band GNSS satellite technology is built into every Edge 540, providing cyclists with enhanced position accuracy so you will stay on track no matter where your training may take you. A preloaded Garmin cycling ride-type specific basemap includes worldwide MTB trail data from Trailforks. This information ensures that riders know what s around them, where they are, and how to efficiently get back to their starting point with ease. Trendline popularity routing will give riders the best route possible choosing from roads and trails you frequent most and offers off-course recalculation so when you are off your specified trail, the Edge 540 easily gets you back on course! When paired to your compatible smartphone, the Edge 540 gives you access to smart notifications, LiveTrack and GroupTrack, rider to rider messaging, and offers a built-in incident detection. Stay connected with up to 50 of your friends and send preset notes from your Edge to another Edge user with the LiveTrack and Rider to Rider feature. Keeping safety in mind, Garmin has built the Edge 540 with the ability to pair to Garmin s Varia line of cycling awareness devices such as a rearview radar and smart bike lights. When paired with your 540 Edge, the Varia radar (sold separately) displays alerts for approaching cars from behind and if an incident occurs, the Edge can automatically send your location to an emergency contact in the event of an emergency. Seeing and being seen gives an added peace of mind.
