Question about Garmin Edge 1040 Solar

Unfortunately I can't answer that. Sorry

Hello
The Edge 1040 "only" comes with pre-installed maps of Europe as standard. The maps for South America, among others, can be downloaded and installed free of charge.

uuusprobiere - actually the map material should be available - does garmin not give any info in argentina or brazil?

No problem

Of course you can do that. You just have to be sure that you choose the right maps / region and load them accordingly. If it's a hiking or cycling tour, I strongly recommend loading the maps from Komoot
