The Edge 1040 firmware update 18.23 broke my config from before this upgrade. My devices could not be found any more by Connect on my iPhone, the Radar was not recognized any more, nor were my gears. I would definitely stay away from this 'firmware update', why ruin a perfect configuration. With previous firmware upgrades I could just wait till it was done and go out riding, now I had to spent half my afternoon to figure out I had to reset the Edge to factory settings, remove it from Garmin Connect (on my iPhone), and then go through the setup process on the Edge 1040 as if it were new.
Luckily the sensor settings were saved in Garmin Connect so they could be easily reconfigured, but I spent my afternoon on buggy updates. And then I just got a Epix Pro to add, if I would have known Garmin brought out such buggy updates I would have stayed away from any new Garmin gear.
