Coming soon: pre-order now, available from 17 November 2026.

1. Hands-free voice control

Say "Okay, Garmin" and ask for things like your heart rate, a route to the nearest coffee shop, or to report a pothole. The Edge reads out stats, changes screens and suggests routes while your hands stay on the bars.

With a connected phone and the Garmin Messenger app, you can send voice messages and hear replies through the built-in speaker. Voice control works in select languages, and Garmin notes performance can vary with riding conditions.

2. New navigation tools

• Route Options: compare routes to a destination by ride time, elevation and bike type.
• Route Previews: see distance, estimated ride time, traffic and reported hazards before you start.
• Up Ahead: pick the points of interest you care about, such as coffee or toilets, and see the nearest ones on your route.
• Free Flow Routing: find routes with the fewest stops and intersections, handy for training efforts.
• Road closure alerts: reported by other Garmin cyclists, alongside existing hazard reports (needs a paired phone and Garmin Connect).

3. Training and group riding

Real-time stamina, power guide, cycling ability and course demands carry over, along with free Garmin Cycling Coach plans and TrainingPeaks workout sync. New on the 1060: an interactive workout screen, a customisable home screen, and GroupRide detection, which offers to join a nearby GroupRide session from your phone.

It can also reverse charge a Varia light, phone or other device over USB-C. Garmin says this isn't intended for use while riding.

4. Edge 1050 vs Edge 1060
