I just bought the 1040 solar….
What is the difference besides size?
The 540 and 840 sounds very similar
Based on historic differences of previous models, the difference between the 840 and 540 won’t be very different and they are practically very similar. The key difference between the 530 and 830 was that the 830 had a touchscreen and the 530 didn’t. The 830 had more ways to search for locations. And of course, they were priced differently. I assume that these differences will carry over to the 540. Also, I assume the 840 will have all the same capabilities as the 1040 but will just be smaller.
