Frustrations with Edge 1040

I'm honest, I experienced similar issues with the 1030, but since I start to use the 1040, all the frustration has gone. It is really strange your case, the 1040 is much more stable that any other Garmin Edge devices.

ciao io ho messo da parte il 1040 e uso il forerunner 965 !!!!!!!!

I have problems with my 1040 not pairing to Power Meters unless I manually click the Connect button.  It also doesn't like the Di2 paring to the EW-EU111 sensor although it works fin against the older EW-EU101 and newer 12 speed Dura-Ace.

I've also noticed that after a ride it can take for ever for the device to upload the ride.

I have had issues with it not shutting down correctly from time to time but not too often.

Its most annoying.

Just jumping in here hoping Garmin responds.  Very new Edge 1040 Solar.  3 cases:  All (3) it missed a portion of a ride.  A 50 mile ride was 37, a 73 mile ride was 47 and century was 73.  In all (3) it completed the map by drawing a straight line from where it stopped to where I finished.  As if I caught an airplane ride home....or "as the crow flies.  I've rebooted many times--no help.  Help!!!   Aslo, when I reboot it reverts my screen settings to some prior settings--salt in the wound!  Please, please, please!

Do you have screenshots of the map? what GPS type are you using? Go to activity profiles > satellite system to check. 

GPS is Multi-GNSS Multi-band (titled Best Accuracy).  Couple theories I have:  1.  I sometimes add a waypoint.while making a rout..took me a while to figure out I don't want to do that...happens mostly on out and back map making when it doesn't like me coming back on the same route.  ?  I finally found it only adds the point and updates the mileage if I hit done...(or finished or end point...can't remember exactly...even tho I'm not done.  I just keep adding 'done" points until I'm actually done.  That 'hack' has worked.  But usually only an issue on out and back routes. Pure loops are no problem.  

Another theory is even though I've picked the course, maybe I forget to hit ride and just hit the green start button?  BTW: I always hit X (no) when it asks me Navigate to Start?. (I've found it sometimes takes a bad route to the start and I know where the start is--99% of the time).  This may relate to a 2nd problem I've been having:

Problem 2:  While in the map mode it suddenly is not telling me distance to my next turn.  (Turn Guidance is enabled). Rather it merely tells me what road I'm on.  Thus I'm left to navigate by watching the purple lines of my route.  It has the route loaded.

Greatly appreciate your assistance on both of these issues--the "fly home" and the "loss of distance and name of road to next turn at the top of the map mode screen".

Thanks in advance,

Dave 

Thank you, Dave. This map view is consistent with the timer being stopped, or GPS being lost, but based on that you are using the Multi band one it looks to be the timer. Are you using a speed sensor? auto pause? 

In regards to the 2nd item, do you have guide text enabled? and have you tried uninstalling and re installing your edge's map on Express? See here for details: Managing Maps on Garmin Devices With Garmin Express 

Progress.  Speed sensor:  No.  (assuming you are referring to something other than the Edge 1040 Solar.  Obviously it measures speed--but I asume that is via its GPS...and a lot of software.

Auto pause:  Yes I have it on.  Is that bad?  I thought it useful for getting an accurate overall average speed.  (Not penalized for lunch, stop signs, mechanicals, etc...Am I mistaken?

Guide Text is set at "Always Display"  Should I change it to "When Navigating"  ?

Last:  Have not tried uninstalling and reinstalling Managing Maps..  Will check it out.

Thanks

I've done the Installing Maps.  Any thoughts on my answers to your questions re speed sensor and auto pause?

Thanks
