This feature is especially useful for those who like to explore new routes or ride off the beaten path.

The Edge 1040 Solar also comes with a range of advanced navigation features, including turn-by-turn directions with voice prompts and alerts for sharp turns, blind corners, and more. The device is preloaded with Garmin Cycle Map with popularity routing, which uses data from millions of rides to help you find the best routes and trails. You can also create custom routes using the Garmin Connect app or import existing ones from other sources.

In addition to its navigation features, the Edge 1040 Solar also comes with a range of performance monitoring and coaching tools. It can track your heart rate, speed, cadence, power output, and more, providing you with real-time data and insights into your performance. The device also comes with advanced training and coaching features, including prompts for pacing, recovery, and nutrition, so you can get the most out of every ride.
