It's worth noting that Garmin is still selling the Edge 1030 Plus on its web site - at full price! It seems reasonable to expect Garmin to support a device they are saying is still worth buying...…

That‘s not true - the contrary! 1040 will get some features from 1050!
(but here is the 1030+ forum…)

Wait, what?!? My brand NEW 1030 plus that I own less then a year is not getting updates anymore???? What the F!!!!!

Brand new? Might be - your device - but not the model. The Edge 1030 plus is the predecessor of the Edge 1040, and the 1040 has been out for 2 years.

So?

Brand that cares about users is supporting devices many years after it disappears from market (as an example Apple is supporting/updating MacBooks for 10 years since production date, Denon is supporting their audio-video equipment many years after it was available on market - I don't even remember when I bought it and still get updates and... it was much cheaper device than Garmin).

And if you buy new product and it happened to be 1 year ago it means that in a moment you were buying it .... it was already not supported any more (last update for 1030 plus was over 1 year ago).

Something is not OK here, isn't it?

Can I still use my Vector 1050 with Edge 1050?

In my opinion, starting to look at other brands and being satisfied is the best option.
My 1030 is the 2nd time the battery swells. !
STOP Garmin after all this that I have read, I will also save money.
I read about the 1040 problems, the 1050 that I would like to get, I read about further problems. Bye Garmin I move on to something else Goodbye.
