What modifications would you like to be included in future firmware versions?

I would like to ask you what modifications of the current firmware would you like to be in the new versions? Please write a few words about how these modifications should look and function. The first modification I have in mind is the color steress score bar chart. When assessing stress after exercise, a number is shown and a marked arrow appears in a pie chart in a specific zone and color. However, all these measurement results on the bar chart are white and do not reflect the color of the zone in which the measurement result was.

    • "Strava segment showing up automatically even when not in a route created in Strava or on Garmin Course."

    -Wtf we need that ? to have the prompt every second that we need to start or stop pop up segment? If you change direction what will happen?

    -Better idea: If you load an course, maybe to present all segments on that course and star the one that you need , before start riding 

    • Option to Hide default workout screen (even when in a workout) - most of time I watch my own custom workout screen with data fields I need. Having one extra screen which I don't use is a bit annoying when swiping across them. 

    -Agree

    • Fastest and more reliable sync of workouts and routes from phone to the unit. Now more I'm in rush, more problems it makes. Sometimes need to restart my edge and/or iPhone. Wah** proves that this could possible....

    -Force manual sync- Connected feature: Phone or Wi-Fi : then tap sync

    Update the Tones to be definable. (I tried the Tones again on the 1040 and had to switch it off after 7KM, constant beeping.)

    Select Tones for:

    - Turns

    - Off Course

    - Dangerous curves

    - any other for people with Power Meters etc.

    The number of Tones and frequency for a single event should also be programmable; e.g. single Tone just once for and event to multiple Tones multiple times (as now on Turns)

    I would select Turns - 1 beep once. Dangerous curve - 2 beeps once. Off course 3 beeps once.

    Dangerous curves:

    Should appear way before the curve. If navigating with Turns it should appear with the Turn. 

    Most of my Turns are due to taking a road 90d to another road, e.g. I have a Turn. The Dan. Curve should appear with the Turn, not on it or even after it, as I have had.

    Where it is a, for example, hairpin on the same road, the Warning should come up at least 200M before the curve. If it only appears when on the hairpin, it is not a Warning, it’s an Arrrggg Alarm.

    I have the 12.15 software installed and I ask for the following:

    1. The workout page is displaying 3s power both in graphic and numerical form. It would be convenient if the graphic on the upper left or the numeric value on the upper middle showed the actual power.

    2. The audio prompt for Lap Power Alert, when enabled from the phone connect app, is announcing the previous lap power (Useless) and not the current lap power as it should. The Garmin Edge 530 was reporting the current lap power which is useful.

    3. Somehow it is impossible to find the GPS setting for GPS-Glonass after you change it for the first time.

    Thanks in advance

    Write on the firmware release not here 

  • 0 over 3 years ago in reply to krazyeone

    Can you be more specific please? Where can I find the firmware release page? I found it and it is locked. The Audio prompt issue is referring to the app as well as the firmware. The current thread is about modifications or I misunderstood?

    Do you have beta or official FW?

    For 2: seems to be an bug , or I am wrong?

    For 3 : what do you mean? There are 3 GPS options on the profile:

    Activity profile, select the profile , Satellite system:

    -Best accuracy (multi-GNSS multi band)

    -Balanced (multi-GNSS)

    -GPS

    You have great ideas, it's great if Garmin implements at least some of them in future firmware. Some of you write that they want the firmware to be stable and have no bugs. It is obvious that each of us would like that to be the case. However, I am afraid that such desires in the case of Garmin are unattainable. But hope is the last to die.

    firmware 12.15 stable as already stated

    2. I don't know if it's a bug or miscode or .....

    3 I know that there are 3 options among them there is GPS+GLONASS MISSING. It is the one I saw after I had transferred settings from my edge 300. Obviously the setting was transferred successfully but there is no way to find it again after you alter it. It is no big deal since there is multiband mode that covers it but I felt like it was useful to report it.

    If I Star a segment it means I'm interested and it should pop up. This is default behaviour when you sync a route via Strava.

    PS: Spare your "WTF's" please.
