Pros & Cons
- 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.
- Despite its good readability, the Edge 1040 is rather large for a bike computer.

You can let the Garmin calculate a route itself, or easily upload existing .gpx routes via the Garmin Connect app.

Super device for the bikepacker as well as the most avid rider who wants to see all the details.
Got this in preparation for a road trip to Rome (2200Km+) What could be better than the 1040 solar, Big screen, europe on it completely, and solar because you may not be able to charge everywhere. So the extra hours you can charge on the road are ideal. Especially if you get to points or somewhere you quickly charge your phone, your lights and/or your bike computer. Strava routes can be loaded with ease and are picked up perfectly. I tested this with some small local routes and it works perfectly. Transferring the sensors also went smoothly. As far as I'm concerned, the ideal device for the next few years.

Improved in every way
It's amazing how fast it goes and the new interface is much better, fast and intuitive and with the solar charging it gives an extra autonomy.
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Great bike computer
Coming from the Edge 1030+. With the Edge 1040, everything functions significantly faster and all the widgets etc are more nicely designed and comprehensive. Life Stamina is also very nice to see/follow. Lots of overviews available after cycling. Too bad there are so few apps available in the IQ store right now, like My Edge 2 for example, that's just a matter of time.
