TECHNICAL INFORMATION

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.

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.
