A big, clear touchscreen for maps and ride data.
The Edge 1050 is a good fit if you like to see more of the map or keep several ride numbers on screen at once. Its 3.5-inch colour touchscreen gives you room for both, and the built-in speaker can call out turns so you can keep your eyes on the road.
Maps and Navigation
Follow a route with preloaded Garmin Cycle Maps, or use the included Trailforks trail data when you head off-road. The speaker gives you spoken navigation prompts and doubles as a bike bell for letting people know you’re coming through.
Training and Group Rides
Use suggested workouts to give your training some structure, or use Power Guide with a compatible power meter to pace your effort on a course. If you ride with mates, GroupRide lets you share locations and send messages with compatible devices and a connected phone.
