DESIGN AND MATERIALS
Slim, aerodynamic and tough
The Edge 1040 solar adopts a new design, slightly longer by 3 millimetres, to achieve a sleeker, more aerodynamic device.
Its 130g composite case incorporates a much more robust ¼-turn aluminum mount, to resist repeated vibrations on rough terrain such as mountain biking or gravel.
Enhanced user interface
Complete redesign of the user interface to ensure smoother, more intuitive access to data and functions. The structure is based around widgets and a single main menu.
The device's configuration and connected functions have also been simplified (no more BT dual pairing, for example).
LARGE COLOR TOUCHSCREEN
High-definition color screen, identical to that of the Edge 1040.
Measuring 3.5", or 8.89 cm diagonal (282 x 470 pixels), it is transflective and capacitive. As a result, it adapts perfectly to outdoor lighting conditions, and the touchscreen works perfectly when wearing gloves or in the rain.
CONNECTED METER: SMART NOTIFICATIONS, CONNECT IQ, SYNCHRONIZATION WITH GARMIN CONNECT
Receive e-mails, messages and alerts directly on your Edge, when paired with a compatible smartphone.
Download data fields and get apps and widgets from our Connect IQ store.
The Garmin Connect app hosts a very active online community that allows users to connect while on the move, take part in challenges and even share their exploits on social networks.
NAVIGATION: CYCLE MAP FROM GARMIN, BACK TO THE START
Pedal along with preloaded maps that provide information on elevation data and points of interest, and let you search for addresses.
Never get lost thanks to detailed navigation functions and alerts that warn you of upcoming changes of direction.
The Edge 1040 solar helps you get back on track if you stray off course, and guides you back to your starting point if you want to get home early.
TRENDLINE POPULAR ITINERARY GENERATOR
Using billions of kilometers of routes uploaded by cyclists, Edge 1040 solar suggests the best route, based on the most popular roads and trails.
Spend more time pedaling and less time waiting, thanks to a route calculation function that's twice as fast as on previous models.
Multi-continent mapping
The Edge® 1040 solare comes with 64GB of memory and is preloaded with
Topo Active Europe + Cycling Map Europe - 47 countries - with specific themes according to each type of practice and highlighting the most important information.
Displays "Popularity Routing" of the roads and trails most frequented by users Garmin. Uses billions of kilometers of data from Garmin Connect - collected from athletes to provide the best routes
TRAILFORKS APPLICATION AND FORKSIGHT MODE
Download the free Trailforks app from our Connect IQ™ store, then unlock Trailforks map content on your Edge, including trail conditions, heatmaps and more.
When using the Trailforks app, this mode automatically displays upcoming trail intersections and shows you your position within the trail network.
EXTENDED BATTERY LIFE
The Edge 1040 solar features a higher-performance 1900mAh Li-Ion battery for even longer outings and multi-day trips.
Record autonomy - In GPS mode, 45h autonomy and up to 100h in energy-saving mode with the Solar version.
SOLAR GLASS
Solar Power Glass™ that extends autonomy by almost 60% compared with previous generations. Recharges even when switched off.
Multi-band GPS
This new function, unique to Garmin , is a technological achievement, providing unrivalled GPS positioning accuracy. Thanks to a constant recalculation of position by the device on the 2 frequencies of each multi-band compatible GNSS network, this technology effectively identifies and eliminates bad positioning data, thus offering much higher accuracy, especially in canyons, cities and difficult alpine environments.
High-performance integrated sensors
Like its predecessor, the Edge 1040 solar incorporates all the essential sensors for accurate performance data, including a barometric altimeter, temperature sensor as well as compass, accelerometer and magnetometer. The device is also equipped with lugs compatible with the Garmin Charge ™ power pack.
ENHANCED MEMORY AND USB C
n order to download even more additional cartography, the 1040 solar's internal memory is 64 GB.
The Edge 1040 solar is now equipped with the new USB-C standard
The device is also compatible with ANT+, Bluetooth Low Energy and WiFi sensors.
Sensor battery level monitoring with post-race reports on the device and battery alert messages between rides via Garmin Connect Mobile.
Performance management functions: Planning (1)
"Cycling Capacity"
Determines the athlete's capacity and thus enables preparation planning. This analysis is based on VO2 Max and FTP data, as well as anaerobic, aerobic and aerobic endurance capacities, and explains the type of work to be done to progress.
Recovery and fitness monitoring
Allows you to monitor the evolution of your physical condition as you prepare, and to obtain advice and precise data on the level of recovery.
Performance management functions: Prepare (1)
Training functions
Create and download free workouts from Garmin Connect*. Create a simple workout directly from the Edge.
Performance management functions: Preparing (2)
Enter your training goals, free days, activity level and available sensors to obtain a free, customized training plan directly from Edge. This training plan can be linked to a specific event, such as the Gran Fondo, Cyclosportives, Etape du tour etc., and thus obtain a customized plan over 30 weeks or more, including all phases of preparation (general preparation (foncier), specific work and sharpening.
Performance management functions: Preparing (3)
When a workout is missed, the focus is on priority workouts, instead of offering a lower-priority workout scheduled for that day. In the plan, these workouts are marked "key" or "long"
Workouts are proposed with power or heart rate targets. The aim of this function is to provide advice to cyclists who are not following a specific training plan and who want to progress.
Performance management functions: Perform (1)
Power guide:
Manage your efforts with the power guide function, which recommends power targets throughout a course.
Real-time endurance level - STAMINA
The real-time endurance level function - Stamina - tracks and helps athletes manage their physical effort throughout an event. It displays energy consumption and enables athletes to avoid "running out of fuel", by starting out too quickly on their events.
Performance management functions: Perform (2)
ClimbPro function:
Automatically displays the climbs on a route, specifying the % gradient and the number of km remaining to the summit. Perfect for better effort management.
Climb data visible on Garmin Connect Mobile
Nutrition and hydration:
The Edge also records nutrition and hydration data according to heat, altitude, heart rate and power to provide specific alerts during activity.
EBIKE FUNCTIONS
Before the trip: the intelligent algorithm uses elevation data embedded in the map, as well as user and bike data, to display a distance indication in route planning.
During the trip: indication of a dynamic range based on the eBike's actual battery consumption, with dedicated alerts to the user in the event of battery level problems.
After the trip: eBike battery level / consumption report
SECURITY FUNCTIONS (1)
Incident detection and assistance request*
Manually or in the event of a fall, Edge sends its 3 emergency contacts, GPS position and a message requesting assistance. These functions require connection with a smartphone.
SECURITY FUNCTIONS (2)
Improvements - Simplification of LiveTrack*
Makes it easier for friends and family to follow cycling outings.
The new version of LiveTrack lets you share your planned route, so that those following at a distance can see where the cyclist has been and where he or she is going.
Ability to start a LiveTrack session directly from your Edge.
SECURITY FUNCTIONS (3)
