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.

  • Ability to hide upcoming climb and segments mini secondary screens for one.I don't care no need to see what "climbs" I have upcoming unless I really want to see them.

  • Be able to set gear & ride type from a connected sensor, and have that flow into Garmin Connect.

    For example, if Power Meter sensor = GravelPM, then set gear = Gravel Bike and Activity Type = Gravel / Unpaved Cycling

    And can we please get gear added to the FIT file spec, so this only needs to get set once, and then it can flow into all services instead of having to set / change this in each service?

  • Ability tu run a course in reverse if the start and end are at the same location. (A prompt when the course is loaded)

  • what is wrong with those?

    • Strava segment showing up automatically even when not in a route created in Strava or on Garmin Course.
    • 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. 
    • Nutrition alert (food / hydration) when in active workout. Somehow on my 1030 these alerts are suppressed (not sure if any improvement on 1040)
    • Fastet 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....

    Best regards,

  • I’d like more control of sounds, being able to turn them off for individual items. I know you can turn on radar tones separately but haven’t spotted a way to do it for other things. Unless I turn tones off the device just beeps constantly. 

  • Omg no, don’t and more features, please, until the bugs in the current feature set are fixed.

  • to organize the tracks in folder

  • I see a lot of voices "don't add new features, just fix the bugs". I don't agree, a solid road map is needed to keep up with competition.

    Speaking of competition:

    • I think it's time to start shifting Edge units and it's  outdated, XX-centoury OS and GUI into something more modern, with snapper user experience. At same time it should retain backwards compatibility with legacy ConnectIQ software.
    • For sure, this is not an easy task but apple could transition from Intel to their own Apple Silicon chips so this kind of transitions is possible. Is it in reach of current Garmin crew? Looking how bad is quality of 1040 software I doubt Garmin is capable for a meaningful change...
