ClimbPro is a feature that allows cyclists that train and compete in mountainous terrain to be better aware of their course.

NOTE: ClimbPro was added to the Edge 1030 in software version 8.00. If ClimbPro is not available, update the Edge 1030's software using Garmin Express.

How does ClimbPro work?

Once a course is created and on a compatible device, the ClimbPro feature takes the course and detects the climb sections. Additional details include:

Each climb segment becomes much clearer during the current or upcoming climb segments.
Information about climbs can also be accessed in the course summary.
Awareness of total elevation remaining, distance and grade throughout the course allows for monitoring your intensity level.
The data provided is based on the course profile and distance of the climbs.
