ClimpPro needs to work WITHOUT a course!

I left Garmin for the Hammerhead Karoo2 (K2) just after it launched.  I wanted a better display, better navigation and I wanted to support "the little guy" with the promise of continuous updates and refinements. 

Fast forward I still love my K2, but it's lack of Crash Detection, so so battery life (8 hours MAYBE) and the final straw, loosing my Di2 functionality on the unit, made me come back to the Garmin Ecosystem.

Now that I'm back, I have all those things I missed and more plus Garmin fixed a lot of the things that drove me out (Garmin navigation of all things WAS terrible, but it's way better now in rhe1040, but Garmin could still learn a few lessons from Hammerhead when it comes to navigation Thinking

  1. Garmin PLEASE Pray tone3 let ClimbPeo be enabled ALL THE in or out of a route! This one feature on the K2 that is such a joy!  As you approach a hill, it pops up and displays all the relevant metrics related to the climb as well as the total number of climbs you've ridden and all you had to do was press Start at the beginning of your ride Heart eyes

Note:. Hmmerhead/SRAMS is NOT at fault for loosing Di2 functionality, but rather Shimano having a tantrum and making it's customers suffer... I'm looking at you Shimano Rage

  • I upgraded the 1030 to 1040 to have more feature and some additional speed. The 1030 was able to show the Climb pro when I had to climb on the road. It was automatic and it was annoying to me so I switched off. Now I changed my mind as after 4 month of break in cycling it is important to know how long and how hard do I need to climb. I spent some time to enable climb pro as it appears it should work without the following a course option. This is a very bad surprise from Garmin as this feature was in an earlier computer too...

  • ClimbPro on all models of Edge currently require that you either be following a course or navigating to point of interest. They do not currently support climb detection when just free riding. 

  • Totally agree! This is my number one update!

  • Do you know if there are plans to add this feature in the near future? Would be a really great improvement!
