Solar GPS Bike Computer for Cyclists

The Garmin Edge 1040 Solar is a portable navigation device built for riders who want extended battery life on long routes. It combines multi-band GNSS positioning with a 3.5" touchscreen and 64 GB of internal memory for maps and activity history. Solar charging through the Power Glass lens adds up to 42 minutes per hour in battery saver mode during daytime rides.

Straightforward Setup With Wireless Sync

The unit mounts on a bike handlebar and pairs with a smartphone over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi for quick configuration and course transfers. ANT+ and dedicated remote links connect sensors, Varia lights and Shimano Di2 shifting without cables. The rechargeable lithium-ion battery delivers up to 45 hours in demanding use or up to 100 hours in battery saver mode.

Check Mount Compatibility And Sensor Ecosystem

Verify that your handlebar diameter suits the supplied mount and that any power meter, heart-rate strap or radar you own uses ANT+ or the listed remote protocols. The device stores up to 200 waypoints and 100 courses, so plan whether that capacity fits your typical ride library. A USB cable is included for charging and data sync.
