High-end GPS bicycle computers & gps with modern solar technology for an even longer battery life. The multi-frequency reception enables precise positioning even in urban canyons, mountain valleys or dense forests. Discover your strengths with the new cycling ability and route requirements functions.
The Edge 1040 Solar from Garmin is a GPS bike computer you can rely on. Featuring a Power Glass solar charging lens, it gives you even longer riding time between charges. Up to a whopping 45 hours of demanding use or 100 hours in battery saving mode, you can be on the road with the Edge 1040 Solar. The 3.5-inch touch display and a modern user interface offer quick and clear access to the most important information. The multi-frequency reception (GPS, GLONASS and GALILEO) on both frequency bands ensures accurate positioning, even in difficult terrain. The new cycling ability and distance requirements functions are available to help you better assess your power. In conjunction with compatible sensors, these allow you to visualize your own strengths and weaknesses and compare them with the requirement profile of a route. Data such as recovery time, VO2max, training load and training load focus are stored and, based on your current training load, you receive personalized training instructions to further increase your power. The Edge automatically evaluates your last training sessions and performance indicators and shows you how fit you are. The Power Guide helps you to find the optimal power input for the route and its elevation profile and to create a suitable performance strategy for it. With the mountain bike metrics, you can save and evaluate the best details of your tours, such as the number of jumps, jump distance and airtime. Display grit and flow values so that you have information on how you can surpass yourself next time. Grit is used to classify the difficulty of the tour based on GPS, height and other data. Flow indicates how smooth your riding style is on descents. With the ClimbPro functions, you can automatically display the remaining ascent and incline. This allows you to estimate the effort that awaits you and see what lies ahead. The stamina data helps you to optimize your energy consumption during your tour and avoid premature exhaustion. The clearly displayed navigation function with optimized maps, turn-by-turn directions and fast route calculation allows you to plan your route precisely and ensures that you reach your destination safely. The route guidance and notifications can be paused by leaving the route - so you can also explore the terrain away from the planned route. As soon as you reactivate route guidance, the Edge will show you the way back to the original route or starting point. Innovative safety technologies such as automatic accident detection, assistance functions and Live and GroupTrack, which allow family members to track your position in real time and view the entire planned route, ensure the necessary safety. If you're looking for a powerful bike computer with excellent battery life, you've found it with the Edge 1040 Solar.
