    Thank you. Your instructions above reference the 1030 and also say to use a micro usb cable. Minor updates needed to the instructions

    Jees I expected a hot fix for the 4iiii powermeter issue, as I got replies from Garmin stating it was a "known issue":(

    This update does not fix it at all. I just tested it, and the same problem persists: It does not stay connected tot the 4iiii p3 pwoermeter for more then 1 sec, and never gives a reading.

    @garmin: Does this mean I got a useless device for another week?:(

    This is Beta compared to what? That disaster you shipped with? Truth is funnier than fiction.

    I provided Garmin with comparison fit files from my two computers with our problem. Let's hope they fix it for final release or next beta at least.

    There is no point in being a jerk when Garmin is trying to help us out and fix problems quickly.  I, for one, appreciate their effort.  And "disaster" is a bit harsh.  I haven't run into a single bug that stopped me from successfully using the unit.  I would imagine that the same is true for most users.  Even reviewers (gpLama, desfit, and dcrainmaker) didn't run into the bugs that some people are in such a huff about.  So, I would say that the unit is working pretty well for most users.  Maybe not for you but for most.  Insulting people and companies in the forum does nothing to help the situation.

    Other than the segment issue, which a quick and easy fix was on here, my unit has been excellent.  Certainly better than my 1030 which is now a nightmare to use. My 1030 has broken tabs (like a lot), unreliable battery level.  If I charge the 1030 to 100% then there’s at least a 50/50 chance it will either lock up and need a reboot or I’ll turn it on next day and the battery is 0%. This was for me “last chance Garmin” but I’ve been nothing but impressed with it so far.  

    Some POSITIVE feedback:

    1) battery life is amazing

    2) screen sensitivity is much improved

    3) climb pro better

    4) like the power stamina screen

    5) navigation is so fast (and more reliable)

    6) really fast to start and connect to sensors

    7) really fast to acquire satellites 

    8) aluminium Mount so much better

    9) like the Home Screen now I’m used to it

    10) fonts are so much clearer even with the same screen resolution

    I'm glad you are satisfied with the release and that it is working well for you. I, and others, are experiencing a lot of problems. I hope that eventually they all get fixed. Ride on.

    Make sure to read the other posts.  You might want to do a factory reset and get rid of any fields that might have been imported from old devices.

    Fields were removed. We'll see if 12.14 stops the random lockups, the incessant notifications, and other annoying behaviors. *fingers crossed*

    Not a problem per se, but I found the volume setting, but there doesn't appear to be a way to actually adjust the volume. Is this a bug or intended?
