What about Gradient Lag?

Can anyone report if Garmin have fixed the issue that the 1030+ has with ridiculously long responses to changes in gradient?

    Wow, thé new climbpro is awesome, great job.

    and yes gradient is OK Now !!!

    thanks Garmin !

    bigger fonts, background color regarding zone and the 1040 will be perfect .

    Also I like the upgraded graphics, and gradient indicator in climb pro, which frees one data field for something else. 

    Yes! Noticed this yesterday on my ride and wondered if it was new, how could I have missed it. Excellent.

    Hello

    Any idea on when the new firmware (newer than 14.50)  with the "gradient lag" corrected will be deployed to the general users?

    Thanks

    I have a feeling it will be soon as they have released a second beta firmware since the release of the grade lag fix beta.

    And that was more than a month ago. A few days ago they released a 4th beta so maybe a 2023 production release? I hope the climbpro enhancements also flow on to the standard elevation screen as I find that more useful for my riding.

    Answering my own question, yes it looks like the enhancements including the current gradient above the position marker is in the standard elevation screen which for my purposes is more than adequate, even better than the climbpro screen, thanks Garmin

    I've read/watched some reports that the 15.23 firmware backtracked on the gradient lag improvement. @GPLama did a video comparison between the 1040 updated to 15.23 and an Explorer where both devices had the same lag of over 10 seconds. I originally commented  that I didn't notice that but now I've simultaneously used the 1040 with 15.23 and a 530 and both are identically slow, meaning 10+ seconds.

    Beta firmwares older than 15.22 had a markedly reduced lag of about 3-5 seconds. Meaning the 15.23 firmware re-introduced the lag at least for some people. Can anyone corroborate that?

    I can report that the lag was still there on my first ride with the new 15.23 firmware. 

    BUT since then I did 5-6 rides where the lag was gone and the gradient changes were spot on. So I'm quite happy and I hope it will stay like this.

    Very strange because I didn't even reboot the device between the first and second ride (I always put the device in sleep mode between the rides).

    So it seems there are some special circumstances where the lag may reappear

    Hello
    I've just test for the very first time my brand new Edge 1040 Solar with firmware 15.24 yesterday and the bug is still here.
    Lag of around 30 seconds in the gradients changes.
    It’s very disapointing

    What's really disappointing is that even in the current beta 16.06 the bug is still present. Even more that Garmin doesn't comment on why they backtracked on the former improvement.
