I've used the Edge 1030+ since Jan 2022 and here is the list of issues I run into on every ride (roadbike)
This is on the latest firmware and the screen fields are all the defaults Garmin built-ins
Bontrager IQ Light Control is the only extra app that is installed
All sensors are from Garmin apart from the SRAM Force/Quarc and all are connected using ANT+
1. Unit will randomly pause as I'm riding and speed will show 17-20mph and drop to 3 mph and go back up. GPS is set to use all satellites. Wheel is using Garmin's SpeedSensor 2
2. Power/Cadence will freeze/remain stuck at 70 pwr/ 60 cad despite changing the battery in the SRAM/Quarc meter.
3. Unit will never find the headlight/taillight (Ion Flare RT), until the unit is rebooted at-least once, after which it announces battery is critical on the lights despite being fully charged
Would it be possible for Garmin to actually fix these basic issues or hire more developers to do so for their flagship product ?
Repeatable issues on every build indicate a broken process control and this will create an inflection point where competitors like Hammerhead/Karoo 2 can move into the same space
As a longtime developer, the above is not exactly rocket science and I am willing to work with the dev team to narrow down any issues and see that they are resolved and supply any diagnostic information they would like.
Thank You.
