After a several year break from Garmin (first using a Wahoo, then a Hammerhead Karoo 2) I’m back to Garmin with the Edge 1040 and I’m loving it! I have a Fr955 and having everything sync up, eliminating the need for an Apple Watch and/or Whoop band is awesome! So first off thanks to the Garmin team for continuing to help push things forward.
One change I would like to see and I’m hoping others will agree and can upvote or comment here is the visibility of the map, especially when navigating. I race Road, Gravel, and MTB. I find that on the road and really easy gravel the map screen is easy enough to look down long enough to see where you are and what’s ahead, but when riding rougher gravel, higher speed gravel, or MTB in general it is extremely hard to see where you are on the screen and what’s coming up next. I think this is caused a lack in contrast between roads/trails that matter compared to everything else as well as the triangle indicator representing where I am being so small and also a lack of contrast. I’ve added some images of a Wahoo Roam where you can see the navigation path is extremely visible both by contrast and size. I’ve also added an image of the Karoo 2 which has an even larger indicator of your current position and they also make your current route (where you’ve been and where you’re going) drastically stand out simply by using more extreme contrast. I hope this is something we can have changed in the next update.
Note, I am 34 and don’t need perscription glasses, nor am I color blind, sight is totally normal.
