What about Gradient Lag?

Went out this morning with a friend who has the 1030 (I have the 1040) and the lag I had was only 2 seconds, sometimes no lag at all. We did a few climbs and after the 18.25 release everything is perfect except when climb pro finishes it won,t revert back to your original  page.

Well, maybe they will fix the gradient lag in the 1050.  I won't be any garmins until this is and elevation are fixed.  Karoo and Wahoo bike computers seem to have less bugs.  Like others have mentioned, its odd they used the same hardware in the 1040 after seeing this issue int eh 1030+.  I guess they don't care about accurate grade and elevation.  Many of their potential customer sure do though.  Vote with your $$$ folks...

Very agree. Enough is enough 

Hi Matt, any ETA yet when this is going to be fixed. On shorter hills I’m already half way through when it pops up and thinks I just started. Topical example Sydney harbour bridge.. it in fact shows the climb is coming when it is actually I already completed it. Is my device faulty or this is “normal” behaviour?

I had an edge 800 before I upgraded to the 540. I can not believe the 10 years old 800 has a perfect gradient accuracy with no delay, whereas my brand new 540 is like 15s off. Very disappointed. I want my money back. How long do we have to wait until this is fixed?

I've got some bad news.  This thread goes back a couple years.  Never.  Garmin Forums does not care about their customers in the least.  Only to use us as ATM's to extract money from.  On this issue they love to tell us we are the problem, these are normal tolerances. They think whenever they release the successor to the 1040 we are all going  to forget and line up like sheep to give them $800.  NOPE. I'll sooner ride with a sun dial on my bars then a Garmin ever again. Awful, awful company. 

After 10 months of 'a plan' and engineers 'working on these improvements' what do you have to report?

Agreed.. this is a joke. Customer service. Hello!!! This is 2024! Reputational damage? Do they care? Wow! Shocking. This reminds Sony laptop support back in the days. They closed that devision since.

@Garmin-Matthew  is in his deep winter hibernation.  Should arise in late May. 

You do know this forum, is not customer support, it's just a user chat space. I really don't know what people expect from posting in this thread. I have several Garmin products including the Edge 1040. I have no issues with mine, the grade is reporting fine and all the other great features. Sounds to me you have a fault with yours and recommend contacting the actual customer support. The first Garmin product I had was the Edge 800, the 1040 is my fourth Edge and I've had three of their watches. The very few times over the years I've had to contact customer support I've had a good experience. Maybe you should try it?
