The Garmin Edge 1040 bike computer sports a color touchscreen, up to 35 hours of battery life/up to 70 hours in battery saver mode, and puts more training and navigation features on your ride—all for the same price of $599.99!

Solar-charging technology makes the Garmin Edge 1040 Solar the best bike computer of 2022!

During daytime rides, it adds up to 42 minutes per hour in battery saver mode and up to 20 minutes per hour in demanding use cases (assuming continuous 75,000 lux conditions during daytime riding).
Also, the Edge 1040 Solar model provides increased storage from 32 GB to 64 GB! Which brings us to its other major difference: the Edge 1040 Solar comes with maps for North America, EMEA (Europe/Middle East/Africa), and Australia/New Zealand! If you get the 1040 base, though, you can still download any of these for free!

Garmin Cycle Map gives you preloaded maps that have wider coverage than ever before, including worldwide MTB trail data from Trailforks. Also get elevation data, points of interest, and searchable addresses.

ForkSight Mode (in the Trailforks app) automatically displays upcoming forks in the trail and gives you context by showing where you are.
Turn-By-Turn Directions alerts you of upcoming turns.
Back to Start guides you back to where your route started, even if you deviate from it or stop early.
Route Calculation now calculates faster and caches so you can spend more time riding and less time waiting around.
Trendline Popularity Routing uses the billions of miles of ride data that cyclists have uploaded, allowing the Garmin Edge 1030 Plus to find the best route from roads (and trails) most traveled.
Create More Courses in the Garmin Connect app, so you’ll never run out of places to ride. Or plan them on other platforms such as Strava and Komoot then automatically sync them to your Edge.

ForkSight Mode in the Trailforks app automatically displays upcoming forks in the trail and gives you context by showing where you are.
Yes! You can now get any maps for anywhere in the world for free with all the data you want.
Previously, you got the maps for the region in which you purchased your Edge 1030 Plus. And while you could download others, they weren't the same quality and data.
The Edge 1040 Solar comes with maps for North America, EMEA (Europe/Middle East/Africa), and Australia/New Zealand! This is because it has storage of up to 64 GB compared to the 1040 Edge's 32 GB.
With the Edge 1040 base model, you get 2 maps preloaded according to your region, PLUS, you can go into Garmin Express and simply load other maps onto your device for free with the full high-quality maps like the ones preloaded on your device.
Yes! You can easily transfer your activity profiles, data, and sensors to your Edge 1040 Series GPS for cycling!
Get prepopulated custom ride profiles based on your previous Edge, ride types, or your sensors. From there, cycling activity profiles can be managed directly on your compatible smartphone from the Garmin Connect™ smart device app.
All existing settings are transfered over. Up to 30 sensors can be migrated over to your new device.
Basically, the 1040/1040 Solar checks all the unique activities and sensors you've used over the last year from all your devices, including the names you've given them, and drops them in your new unit. How convenient!
