Installation Instructions

  1. Connect your Edge 1030 Plus device to your computer using the micro-USB cable.
  2. Download and unzip Edge1030Plus_424Beta.zip folder.
  3. Copy the GUPDATE.GCD file from the Edge1030Plus_*** distribution folder to the \Garmin folder of your device's internal storage drive.
  4. If there is a GPS_*** folder, place the 006B310706.GCD file into the \Garmin\RemoteSW folder of the device. Please note, not all Beta releases will include an update.
  5. Disconnect your device from the computer, approve the update on the Edge, and wait for the update to finish.

    NOTE: If you revert to an older version of software, all of your settings will be reset to defaults.
  • I still see a discrepancy of suggested workout on Fenix 6 Pro with latest FW 16.70 and Edge 1030 Plus with this latest beta.
    E.g. the Fenix 6 recommends a threshold bike training  --> 3* 8 minutes @265Watt. The Edge basis training for 73 minutes @150Watts.
    The last two days the Fenix 6 recommended everyday trainings while the Edge said rest day.

    I would assume that these daily suggestions should be the same on Fenix 6 and Edge 1030 Plus.
    This can hopefully be fixed soon.

  • For today my fēnix 6X recommends either 30 minutes at 100bpm (hear rate) or 30 minutes at 120W (power).

    For today my Edge 1030 Plus recommends 30 minutes at 3 second power of 100-144W (power only).

    The workout based on power disagree only by 2W. However, these recommendations are of no use as I don't have a power meter! The heart rate recommendation is not much better when you live in rural hilly terrain as I do.

  • Just tried a bunch of routes which got stuck before when using an OSM map. They all calculate fine now Slight smile

  • For me the daily suggested workouts were more or less in line for a while. But since a few days these are not in sync anymore. Restday on the Edge and same day threshold training on Fenix 6 is quite the opposite.
    I reported it to the Edge Beta Team.
