will edge 1050 eclipse the stability work of the 1040?

Hi,

Should we be worried about the future release of the edge 1050?
Won't this latest edge reduce the work of updating the 1040 which are already too few in number for a unit which is still not stable?
Garmin wouldn't you rework your failed 1040 for the beta testers like us?...

    I’m always worried about lack of regression testing from Garmin. 25 years as a customer with various products is depressing from my experience. 1040 took a full year before it was on par with my 1030.

    Does the 1050 software update will be available for the 1040?

    At least, the climbpro gradient issue lag seems to be fixed in the 1050. It only took Garmin a couple of years ;)

    After reading the official description of the 1050, the autonomy is clearly not up to the standard of the 1040.
    With the arrival of the 1050, the 1040 is geared more towards travel cycling, bikepacking, gravel/ultra-cycling, the 1050 will probably appeal to road bikers and mountain bikers who do not need great autonomy over several days .

    The question that was asked will Garmin, which will be working to correct the bugs of the future 1050, be able to work in parallel to correct the bugs of our 1040? Because there are still bugs on the 1040...

    I would gladly swap all the possible trickle down from the 1050 if only I could have a larger location cursor on my 1040 that I could actually see.

    Here is whats mentioned in the 1040 beta

    beta will be installed automatically by syncing with Connect Mobile or Garmin Express, pending rollout.

    Alternatively, to install this beta, you will need to be enrolled in the beta program, and have added a wifi network. Information on this can be found here. 

    With a wifi network added to your Edge, navigate to the Main Menu > select System > select About > select Check For Updates.
