Description
Description
In addition to flawlessly navigating you from A to B, the Edge 1040 is the best training partner you could wish for. All the data you need during a training session or competition is displayed in real time on the customisable data panels. Training sessions and workouts can be synced to your Edge 1040 from Garmin Connect or through Training Speaks. The Edge also offers daily training suggestions based on your training load and personal VO2 max. The Garmin ClimbPro function helps you to perfectly modulate during a climb and MTB Dynamics gives you insight into your flow and jumps while cycling on the trails. Do you sometimes forget to eat and drink on the go? The Garmin Edge 1040 gives notifications during your activity, so you will always stay well-fed and hydrated.
Navigation
The pre-installed cycling maps ensure that the navigation will always work and you will never take the wrong way again. Turn-by-turn navigation gives you clear directions. You'll even get a warning if there's an unexpected sharp turn ahead. What a safe idea! It is possible to let the Garmin calculate a route, but you can also easily load existing .gpx routes via the Garmin Connect app.
Extra long battery life
You don't have to worry about the battery life. With an improved battery life of 45 hours, you can ride many kilometres before you have to go home and recharge your Garmin Edge 1040. Is 45 hours not enough? The optional Garmin Charge Power Pack can be used to charge the Edge 1040 wirelessly when you're on the go.
Technology
Easy set-upYou'll be ready to go in minutes, instead of wasting time configuring settings. Besides loading pre-stored personalised ride profiles from your previous Edge, you will also be able to transfer ride types, sensors and the most popular setups from existing users.

Top device!
Big improvement over my previous Garmin Edge. Fast device with excellent battery life.
Pros & Cons
3 / 5
Sufficient quality but too many nonsense features
All in all, this is a device I have been using for 5 months without any problems. The core functions work stably and I have yet to experience any crashes or connectivity issues. What works very nicely is that you can configure your own data screens. Pairing devices works easily and without problems. What can be very frustrating are the numerous nonsense functions, the absolute nadir being the stamina functionality. The various automatic functions to set heart rate and power zones are also best turned off. Detecting maximum heart rate just doesn't work at all. Detecting FTP already works better, but should not be adjusted every time based on a single ride. Without all the fuss, this device could be both less frustrating and cheaper.

A new way of riding with Garmin's Power Guide (Edge 1040 / 840 / 540)
Garmin's power guide has definitely changed the way I ride. I simply don't do a ride without this thing anymore. Power guide will analyze your planned course and segment it according to the profile (ascend / descend). For every segment and based on your FTP (that it calculates) and effort scale that you can adapt, it recommends a power output. You'll need a power meter though, which is an extra cost. The major downside in my opinion is Garmin lack of support for it's both lights used together (headlight Varia UT 800 and RTL 515) I own both and you cannot operate both individually. This is unless you download a Connect IQ app "Smart Bike Lamps".
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
A good accurate top cycling computer
Setup is super fast. The GPS is very accurate. You swipe quickly between pages (compared to the 1030). Costs a bit, of course, but the good battery and accuracy mean you have a hell of a bike computer. I am short of superlatives.

Garmin Edge 1040 works even easier than the 1030. Very user-friendly, highly recommended!
