The Garmin Edge 1050 sets new standards as the first high-end bike computer with a brilliant 3.5-inch LCD touch display. It offers innovative navigation, safety and performance functions. These include GroupRide for easy organization of group rides, notifications of danger spots from the community and a built-in loudspeaker with integrated bell. The Garmin Pay payment function and the long battery life of up to 20 hours in GPS mode and 60 hours in energy-saving mode make it the ideal companion for long rides.

GroupRide allows users to share routes in advance and stay in touch during the ride. Accident notifications and leaderboards at the finish increase safety and the competitive spirit among participants. The community can actively report danger spots, which are then displayed in the Edge route planner to make route planning safer.

The Edge 1050 uses data from Garmin Connect to identify the most popular routes using Trendline Popularity Mapping. The navigation functions are supported by a pre-installed Garmin bike map, which enables direct route planning on the device even without an internet connection. The integrated loudspeaker provides navigation instructions via voice output and the bell ensures safety on the road.

The Power Guide supports riders in creating a performance strategy taking into account altitude profiles, stamina and wind conditions. The Stamina function helps to make optimum use of energy during the ride and avoid premature exhaustion. Training plans can be easily synchronized, and after each workout the Edge 1050 provides suggestions for the optimal recovery time.

With Garmin Pay, purchases can also be made without cash. Compatibility with other Garmin products such as the inReach enables communication even in remote areas via the Iridium satellite network. Safety features such as LiveTrack and accident detection provide additional protection, and the Varia product line increases visibility on the road.

The Edge 1050 is a comprehensive bike computer that combines cutting-edge technology with practical features for ambitious cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts.
