They were just added last summer, nearly two years after the Edge 1030 came out. Mostly because it’s plausible (likely in fact), that someone looking at an older Edge 1030 review (even mine), might assume that a bunch of the features of the Edge 1030 Plus aren’t on the base Edge 1030. Now, I’m going to actually split this list in two. With that, let’s dive into it! What’s new: Or, become a DCR Supporter (also, at the bottom). If you found this review useful, simply hit up the links at the bottom of the page. As usual, this media loaner Edge 1030 Plus will go back to Garmin once I wrap up here with it, and then I’ll go out and get my own. I’ve been using the Edge 1030 Plus for all my rides since last month, and I’ve got a pretty good handle on how exactly it works and whether these changes are worth the extra cash for an upgrade from an older Garmin (the price remains the same as the Edge 1030 at $599USD). And finally, new daily suggested structured workouts based on your training load.Īll of which you can get the full details on in one super efficient video by hitting play below:

Plus lots of minor changes like re-routing quick-select options when you go off-course, and increased storage up to 32GB. And the LiveTrack now will actually show your route to the friends/family you share it with. There’s now a streamlined setup process that’ll migrate your old Edge settings and sensors (even from an Edge 1000), plus you’ve now (finally) got free global detailed maps for anywhere you go (except Asia). Still, the Edge 1030 Plus changes aren’t throwaway either. And ultimately, if you were looking to get an Edge 1030, then just like with a new model year Apple product, you’ll take the minor changes over not. Still, this unit does have some minor new features that fill in some of the cracks.

In fact, the Edge 1030 received overwhelmingly more changes last summer when it got a massive firmware update sweep of features from the then new Edge 530 & Edge 830. Like with most Garmin products that tack on a ‘Plus’ designator, the changes from the Edge 1030 to the Edge 1030 Plus aren’t earth-shattering.
