Is the Bontrager 1030 at end-of-support?

Six months ago we were told the Bontrager 1030 was still going to be seeing updates, albeit more slowly w/regards betas than the Garmin-branded 1030. But it's been a full month since the 11.19 beta, with two additional betas since, with nothing for the Bontrager. The gaps were much shorter in the past, with betas available same day, in some cases, for both.

My Bontrager 1030 is becoming increasingly glitchy and I'm hoping that new firmware might help.

Thanks-

I get that improper shutdown but not very often, it has been there for a while. Still does it with 19.20 but it has been much worse with some previous versions. Check the screen carefully. If the power logo remains battery will drain quickly as you probably experienced. Dropouts are annoying but functionally not very consequential. So I have the same issue. Hopefully they will get fixed.

My original 1030 had the blue halo issue and Garmin replaced it about 18 months ago. When I received the refurbished 1030, I had all kinds of problems. Lots of drop outs and the same dim power logo when turning off. I had to do three resets before it worked correctly and it's been fine ever since. I've seen other Garmins that have experienced problems when using sleep mode and I always do a total power down.
