Edge 540 Solar GPS Computer
Description
Garmin's venerable Edge 530 GPS bike computer has been a mainstay for cyclists who prefer a medium sized screen interface with button controls, as opposed to a touch screen. With newer hardware in play, and greater GPS accuracy, and solar charging in the display, welcome to the Garmin Edge 540® Solar GPS Computer. With the Edge 540 Solar you get a USB-C interface, the latest superior positional accuracy- even in the most challenging environments, thanks to multi-band GNSS technology. On your daily rides, you, like many of your cohort, want to go further and train harder to maximize your capabilities and seek the best support, GPS accuracy, and a suite of overall head unit and app-based tools to get you there. That is why you need a cycling computer with button controls, advanced navigation and targeted adaptive coaching.
The Edge 540 Solar cycling computer can offer this targeted adaptive approach when used with your compatible power meter and heart rate monitor. It can help you manage your efforts by providing power targets throughout a course, plus stamina insights, so you know how much fuel your body has left to tap into. Whether you’re riding roads, trails, gravel or dreaming of those while riding indoors, you can benefit from insights and workouts that will help you understand your strengths and weaknesses to prepare for upcoming races or personal milestones.
