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?

    Not as a percentage of the total number of Edge users.  Simple example, almost everyone I know that rides has an Edge.  I have never seen a single one that

    displayed the gradient field.  Everyone I know cares about total elevation gain for a ride.  Nobody I know cares about real-time gradient.  Based on that small sampling I would say that the percentage of people that use gradient is small.  That would make this a low priority problem compared to lots of other things that are broken.

    We have different realities for sure.

    I have ridden this year in Colombia, Peru, Panama, USA (Miami & New York), France (Paris & Nantes), Spain (Bilbao, Valencia and Madrid), Iceland (Complete tour around the island) and every year I ride around the world.

    Most of the people I ride with care about grade they ride, when they ride it.

    Maybe you shold try using the data field and could find it interesting as well.

    @calicyclist.  I can confirm that Garmin Varia Radar units work indeed 100% with Wahoo head units.

    @djwalker. Well then, you must obviously be experiencing selection bias with your statement   that: “Nobody I know cares about real-time gradient”.

    Or you only know 1 or 2 people.

    Contrary to you, “everyone I know” indeed cares about real time, real reliable, real fast grade display - you know - like with the old 1000 and 810 and 1030 (non +).

    As far the "most advertised non-working functions" concerned. For Garmin this is not new at all. Garmin Virb 360. It was sold as youtube and facebook live feaure. It has never worked (I purchased mine in 2019).

    Hi Camilla, 

    Thank you for your thoughtful insight.

    Did you ever consider that perhaps many of us realized this major flaw, only AFTER we were past the return window?

    From new update: 

    • Improved ClimbPro data screen and climb list

    fingers crossed

    I would not cross them as the description has nithing to do with the lag, but lets see

    i have checked and its looks diff now , maybe better granuarity? Lets see

    Looks better :) did you take a ride to check lags?

    Unfortunatley not , I ride mostly on the flat city and in the weekend to mountains/hills 

    If I will manage to test later on but I have small climb (30 seconds, so Its not exactly relevant)
