Let's talk about the new Garmin Edge 1050 device; because it is the most powerful and sophisticated GPS cycle computer on the market.

If you're a cycling junkie, get ready for what Garmin has just unveiled. Its newest Garmin Edge 1050 cycling computer has great details for your rides.

Garmin has introduced the Edge 1050, its most advanced GPS cycling computer to date. This top-of-the-line device sits on top of the Edge 1040 Solar model and offers a far superior cycling experience in terms of performance, navigation, training and connectivity.

For those who find the word cycle computer strange, it should be clarified that it is a computer for bicycles, which allows to record and display all the information about the performance of the cyclist and the route taken.

In this case, the Edge 1050 has a 3.5-inch color touchscreen that fits into a fairly neutral casing design with metal buttons, giving it a cart-friendly feel. Add to all this the fact that it is a device weighing 161 grams, which makes it one of the lightest cycling computers in its category.

While it doesn't quite reach the 35 hours of the Edge 1040 Solar, the Edge 1050 offers up to 20 hours of battery life at full power and 60 hours in power saving mode, so you can completely forget about running out of battery after a day without riding your bike. This allows you to enjoy cycling without worrying about running out of battery.

The Edge 1050 packs quite a few innovative features to encourage group cycling. For example, you get alerts about road hazards from other riders, you can send and receive messages while riding with GroupRide 2, and you can see real-time leaderboards on group rides.

Several new features have been added to all of this, such as:

- Creating tours: For the first time in Edge, you will be able to create tours right on the device.

- Navigation according to the type of surface: choose between unpaved roads and receive alerts for unpaved parts.

- Popular Trendline Routes: See the most popular routes of other Garmin cyclists.

- Preloaded Garmin Cycle Maps: Access worldwide MTB maps from Trailforks.
