Description
Multi-band GNSS technology resolves a persistent challenge in GPS cycling computers: signal accuracy in environments where satellite reception typically degrades. The Edge 1040 tracks multiple satellite systems simultaneously across dual frequency bands, maintaining position accuracy in urban canyons, dense forest canopy, and narrow canyon roads where single-frequency systems lose their fix. This matters when you're following technical singletrack under tree cover or navigating city streets between tall buildings where standard GPS computers show you riding through buildings or off-trail.
The 3.5-inch touchscreen displays maps, data fields, and navigation prompts with 282x470 pixel resolution across an 88.9mm diagonal. That screen size provides enough real estate to run four or six data fields alongside a map without crowding information or requiring constant page switching. The responsive touchscreen handles inputs through gloves and responds to swipes for page navigation, though two buttons on the bottom edge and a side power button provide physical controls when touchscreen operation isn't practical. A USB-C port replaces the older micro-USB connection for faster charging and more reliable cable engagement.
Power Guide recommends target wattages throughout a course when paired with a power meter, adjusting suggestions based on remaining distance, elevation profile, and your current fatigue state. Real-time Stamina tracking estimates how much effort you can sustain before exhausting yourself, displaying a numerical value that decreases as you push harder and recovers during easier sections. Cycling Ability analyzes your fitness across different terrain types and compares your capabilities to upcoming course demands, identifying where you might struggle on a planned route before you start riding....
