Nach 11 Jahren mit dem Egde 810 war es Zeit diesen in Rente zu schicken. Ich habe ihn im Juni 2023 gekauft und er ließ sich nach 7 Wochen plötzlich nicht mehr einschalten. Es gab relativ zügig ein Ersatzgerät. Nun Ende April 2024 passiert es wieder, dass sich das Gerät nicht einschalten lässt, nur dummerweise bin ich zu dem Zeitpunkt beim Bikepacken in Portugal. 5* für Bike Discount für den Service. 5* für das Gerät, wenn es funktioniert. 1* für die ständigen Ausfälle innerhalb von 10 Monaten.
Schickes, kleines Gerät mit vielen netten Spielereien! Ich kann nicht behaupten, dass ich alle Funktionen ausprobiert habe und für gut befinden kann. Dazu habe ich weder die Geduld noch den Bedarf. Aber zum Navigieren und Tracken, vor allem in Kombination mit der Connect-App, finde ich den Edge 540 richtig, richtig gut. Er ist halt wirklich sehr genau und hält gefühlt ewig. Auch die Größe ist angenehm, während man sich in die Bedienung über die Tasten ein bisschen reinarbeiten muss, dann aber gut zurechtkommt.
A few defects make it insufficient. Overall it works fairly well, offline maps are nice, the GPS is precise, there are plenty of features (even too many) and the battery life is stellar. It is all ruined by two major defects that make it insufficient if not paired with another device, hence the 3/5. The major defect number 1 are the buttons. There are too many buttons, it's hard to remember which does what, they are in the worst position ever (in the bottom corners?! seriously? Put them on the top side not on the corners!) it's easy to miss, touch the wrong button or unlock the device from the mount instead. Moreover half the time the buttons don't register, which is very frustrating. The second is a UI from the '90s with some make up. Suunto has a much better user interface, simpler, cleaner, easy to use, no-nonsense. There are so many issues, just a few examples: navigation notifications are in the way. They are nice to have, but they cover too much screen space, for very long time (the device warns about turns several minutes ahead of time) covering the metrics. The course drawing app? Unusable, you make a mistake or want to edit the course later and you are in a lot of troubles. I always use another app, such as Suunto or Komoot and then import the track instead. Garmin needs to do some hardware and software user interface design improvement to make the Edge 540 a great product. I must have another device, currently a Suunto, on the side to make it the Garmin usable.
