The Garmin Edge 540 Solar is more than a GPS; it is a ride companion and personal coach as well.

The Edge 540 Solar functions with side buttons and does not have a touch screen like the 840. This leads to reliable function in any conditions as well as a lower price.

With this solar technology, you can get up to 32 hours of battery life with demanding use or 60 hours in power saver mode. This extension of battery life essentially ensures that you will get through your longest rides without having to worry about your charge.

Maps are in full color and highlight popular trails or routes. It will also help you discover new places to ride and make sure you arrive at your destination safely. You can fully plan out your ride ahead of time and benefit from knowing about upcoming climbs so you can budget energy accordingly. The ClimbPro ascent planner is now available for every ride, helping riders attack climbs as efficiently as possible.

Targeted Adaptive Coaching gathers your data as you ride and creates workouts based on results. It also takes into account your current training load, recovery, and upcoming events. This feature will have a new custom workout waiting for you every day to help you improve efficiently. The Cycling Ability feature classifies your strengths and weaknesses as a rider and compares them to a specific course. This helps riders plan out a ride or focus their training to improve weak spots. During the ride, get real time stamina insights to estimate how much longer you can push the pace. This works great with the Power Guide feature which makes suggestions for power output on different areas of a course.

Despite being absolutely loaded with features, the Garmin Edge is pretty simple to use and easy to set up. A streamlined interface makes it quick and easy to access information, maps, and tools. Connect your Edge to your smartphone with the Garmin Connect App for an even more convenient way to plan your workouts and monitor your stats.
