I'm just a casual cyclist, not a pro. I got into this sport not too long ago and usually I just cycle with my cycling buddies. We often explore new routes throughout Klang Valley and hope to take on bigger challenges when time comes!
Just upgraded from a 520 to the 540 but not liking it so far. My biggest pain point (besides the hard to press buttons and non-intuitive interface) is that the 540 does not automatically power down after disconnecting from the charging cable. With my 520, once I removed it from charging it gave me a 15-second auto power off countdown and then turned itself off. With the 540 lacking this Auto Power Down feature requires me to perform an additional 3-clicks of hard to press buttons to power it down. WHY? This is so annoying. From what I've discovered online, this feature was removed starting with the 530 and users were pissed off then. Now it's carried forward to the 540. Why would Garmin not include an auto power down feature after charging? If I take a turned OFF device and plug it to charge (which it then turns on) and then its completely charged and removed from the charger, it should return to its OFF state. That is only LOGICAL. I can see how lacking this feature its possible to forget to power it down manually and then wake up the next day with a dead device that remained on all night.
Its my first Garmin bike comp but yes, if it have the auto power off will be great! I recall there are auto-off feature but I haven’t deep dive into that settings yet, not sure if the auto power off is available there though. It definitely make sense to auto power off once the charging is complete.
@@Melvpedals I have the auto power down feature on the Edge 520, but this feature was removed on the Edge 530 and also not included on the 540. It's severely dissapointing to me as a 520 user thinking I am "upgrading" to the 540. The 540 does have better sensors. But the buttons and interface navigation are horrible compared to the 520/530.
recently I'm doing hill training at bukit hantu.. I usually do my training in the morning 6am (start from Cheras Selatan) ends around 8+am.. if you want, we can do together..
@@Melvpedals my plan is bukit hantu on weekday, genting highland on weekend.. Need to get myself used to long climb... I can do Bukit Hantu on weekend, need to accumulate at least 2000 elevation (target 3000) per weekend ride
That's a good one. The best is to clip it back in its original position. For portrait I would suggest that you get the mount accessories to flip the gopro or your action cam to portrait position.
