According to the product specialist

Pros
The head unit can create a route based on the desired distance you've entered.
Comes with pre-installed maps of Europe.
Impressive battery life of 45 hours with demanding usage (or up to 100 hours in battery saver mode).
New multi-band satellite technology gives you the best GPS reception, even when cycling in dense forest areas or in the busy city.
The Edge 1040 Solar gives you insight into your VO2 max, recovery time and training load, and lets you learn how your body responds to training.
The Garmin can be charged during your ride through a solar panel in the display, for up to 42 minutes of battery life per hour during daytime riding.
Cons
No sensors can be paired to the head unit.
Despite its good readability, the Edge 1040 is rather large for a bike computer.
