rain affecting screen

Jeffus
over 3 years ago

It looks like the edge 830 is troubled by rain on its screen and also the 1030 but has the 1030 PLUS found a useful solution to this problem, other than locking the screen? Locking the screen is an answer for most of the time but not ideal if you need to search the map during wet weather.

    I agree great device I had garmin edge 810 from 2013 to 2020 when it died bought 830 great navigation and good battery life but even with screen locked misbehaves if it rains heavily, randomly trigger multiple functions ie sending alarm calls, changing settings with screen locked only solution is to turn device off and loose ride

    a real design fault in the touch screen that Garmin have not addressed

    Never experience any of these problems with my Edge 1030 Plus with the screen locked while raining. The only touch screen actions that work for me while the device is locked are swipe left or swipe rights to change the displayed screen.
