Garmin Edge 1040 Solar – Solar-Charged GPS Bike Computer for On/Off-Road Navigation

Power and precision for longer rides

Meet Edge 1040 Solar, a GPS bike computer that taps into the sun with a dedicated Power Glass solar charging lens. On sunny days, you can ride longer between charges, while the device remains reliable under dense tree cover or in urban canyons.

The solar lens helps extend runtime in practical, real world scenarios. In battery saver mode, you can reach up to 100 hours of operation; in demanding use cases, up to 45 hours. During daylight rides, the lens can contribute up to 42 minutes of extra ride time per hour in battery saver mode, and up to 20 minutes per hour in demanding use cases under bright conditions.

Navigation, accuracy, and quick setup

With multi‑band GNSS, Edge 1040 Solar provides enhanced positioning so you stay on course when signal is challenged by heavy cover or city canyons. The streamlined interface makes it quick to access courses, data fields, and tools, and you can adjust information directly on the device or from a paired smartphone.

• Power Glass solar charging lens extends runtime and reduces mid ride battery concerns
• Battery saver and demanding use modes illustrate a clear endurance range
