My Varia 515 dropping every km is fixed. Of course supposed the last Varia firmware fixed it, but actually made it way way worse. Things are all back to normal for me, except peloton mode doesn't seem to work nearly as well. In that usual Garmin way, I'm so happy that I don't have 3000 radar disconnect messages per ride that I'm happy.

Hi Shane, I think the Max HR thing is at the end of a ride where it informs you if there is a change to your max HR. The same comes through on Fenix 7. I'm guessing that in times where people haven't actually hit the high rates they wonder how it was able to update them. So I'm guessing at that point it tells you if it actually detected your HR at 201 or whether it calculated it off your observed performance.

Nice work gplama. I wonder if anyone else who uses Routecourse for managing and downloading their routes has had a problem since the upgrade? I only just got a 1040 so have only tried it with 20.19 but apparently it's been working with the previous firmware. Could be a problem for 540 / 840 too, of course.

I hope they fixed the navigation turning advice hang or crash I had since 19.22. Since then the navigation turning advice popup stayed there completely frozen. No meters counting down moving towards the curve, no movement of my position on the map nor map rotation. The popup even stayed after I passed the curve and did never go away by its own. I had to switch to the next page and back again to get rid of it. This happened on every single turning advice.

Hi Lama thks for this update. Yesterday 100k ride but noticed some problems I think from the dashboard app with this new update(1040 solar), so I removed it today. And I need to figure out how to solve the overlay problem I have with gps/speed data not showing up in the videos footage from the radar RCT715. I use the 1040 solar with this RCT715. I searched the Garmin forum and I am not the only one, as I did a reply to the problem someone told me that the Varia app is the problem not the radar. Quistion for you is did you experience this yourself ❓not related to this garmin update. Have a great day.

How many % of the promised max battery time is there on this Garmin Edge series ? I have a Garmin Edge 130 and have got the unit replaced 3 times because the battery is only lasting between 25 minutes to 3 hours depends on temperature. Now says Garmin Sweden that its no problem with battery, the last new unit last 2:40 hours in 5 degree C temperature and garmin tested it to 12 hours !! I hope for some comments and advice from other users before i buy a 540, 840 or 1040 model, maybe those models also only last 10-20% of the promised battery time ?

They STILL haven't fixed Strava segment nag popups when you've already tapped, tapped stop segment, then yes. It just ignores it and pops up again infinitely until the segment has actually started. It's been there for years and years in both x30 and x40 (and I think x20 series?), with everybody crying for it to be fixed ... and they still don't / won't. 20.19 also seems to be a backwards step relative to some of the earlier betas for this release, which definitively fixed sensor dropouts on both x30 and x40 series - now if you start a ride from your unit having been in sleep mode it sometimes happens again. Doesn't happen at all if you start a workout having just turned it on from an off state.

I've been fighting with sensors dropping mid-activity on my 1040 S. This is generally a non-issue, you just see a window pop up saying shifter disconnect ... and it connects again in a second. But when you're in a workout and your power sensor drops, that's very frustrating. I don't see anything in your video that addresses this issue, but I find a lot of thread on the topic in the Garmin forums (without solution). Let me know if you've got any work-around or other tips for dealing with this annoying issue. Thanks!

Shane, I recently upgraded from a 705 Edge to the 1040 Edge. I utilize a PowerTap hub. My issue is that calories burned is simply calculated from my HR and zero work from the hub is calculated. Switching bikes it still is the same. I have courses ridden on the 705 that show 3 times the calorie burn that the 1040 shows. I rode up Alpe D Heuz indoors where it was obvious no work was included. Ironically, I manually synced 3 rides (had a start stop snafu). And it autocalulated the calories with what appeared to be a correct number. Could you tell me from that description if I have a setting wrong or if it is a Garmin hiccup. This is occurring indoors and outdoors. Thanks in advance, Bill

Radar pairing can be a pain in the arse. It needs to pair as both an ANT+ Radar and ANT+ Light to work properly in that situation (iirc). A lot of the time it'll lose the ANT+ Light connection and work as a radar normally... with no light/system control. I'd delete the sensor and re-pair it using the long-hold power on process to put the radar in pairing mode... then pair it again to the 830.

Hi, I don't think the 1030+ will brick without FW updates only if there is a map update which has nothing to do with the FW update. If it records routes and telemetry today, it will in 5 years as well. For example, I use the new 2023 maps on the Oregon 650, from 2014. On the bike, I use the 1030+ for maps only and at the same time the 1040 for telemetry, where I scroll through the screens with buttons from the handlebar drops. I don't see any difference in the accuracy of track storage or external sensor records. 1030+ only lacks the manual calibration of the altimeter, unfortunately. Keep calm :-) @@gonzodetailing2703

I have an Edge 840. I also have a Dexcom G7 constant glucose monitor that is paired to my 840. Over the past several weeks I cannot get a BG reading on my 840. All the display shows is a “blob.” I contacted Garmin, they know about the issue, but don’t know when it will be fixed. Does anyone know about this issue and when it will be fixed?

Sounds like the ConnectIQ app developer needs to look into this.

Garmin, I spent close to CAD$1000 on my 1030+. Why am I not getting all the updates ? Can you at least do a trade in program so I updates to a series you’re investing in, or we’re being just left out? For price paid, I expected updates like the rest. Disappointed ☹️.

Agreed. It was disappointing to see this unit be semi-retired early.

@@gplama I received 20.18 on my EE2 yesterday. Today was my first ride and after a water stop, my speed sensor was stuck on 7.0 kph and would not budge. Stopped the ride and saved it, started a new one - same issues; turned it on/off - same issue; disconnected the sensor and it was fine using GPS. I never had speed sensor issues before in one year of rides. Further, no matter how many times I fix the navigation settings, it will not recalculate a new route if off route. As much I love Garmin hardware (my 830 was a tank until the micro-USB port died last week), their software is abysmal. It's like Windows 3.1 and they just keep building new features on the pig that is the backbone. It needs a complete refresh. Too many software bugs for $400-800 devices.

Garmin fix some issues and then destroy everything with the next update. I’m on beta 21 now and it’s worse than 20.

Why don’t garmin just incorporate all this into an IOS app. the hardware is redundant let’s face it. we all have better screens and sensors built into our phones. and we all carry them with us out on rides anyway. sell the app for 1/3 the price of a new head unit.
@gplama
@gplama Місяць тому
There’s a lot of reasons for this. One being that Garmin can’t sell a $500+ app. They can sell $500+ head units.

@@gplama I wonder what’s propping up what at this point? do the wearables fund the bike computers or vice versa? realistically it’s a very basic app to port to apple/android. maybe people have more of an issue paying £100+ for an app and no hardware. most people don’t want to pay 99p for an app these days.

Because crashing and destroying a pricey phone who's not built for crash protection isn't worth (especially if you do MTB or road racing). Battery life is another and size along with sensor and connectivity support, you'll need an ANT+ stick and drivers (for android, not sure for ios) if you wanna use your phone since most bike electronics use ANT+. Also, if you do use your phone for a bike mount, do note that you'll need some semblance of vibration dampening to your mount else the vibration while riding will mess with your camera's focus lens and sensors, it's a pretty known issue for motorcyclists using quadlock without the vibration dampener acessory.

Best I can suggest is to double check the file actually saved on the unit. Then follow all the steps in my startup.txt video. Then ensure you're on 20.19. If all else fails, it'll be one for Garmin support.
