Is this the end of the line for our x40 devices or will some features trickle down (didn’t for x30 when 1040 arrived )

(PS see below but DC Rainmaker & GPLAMA quote Garmin as saying we should ok for a while)

    Mine (23.09 beta) look much the same relative size as before, VP has always been larger, I want the location cursor BIGGER (so I can actually see it)

    I’m really worried about WHEN Garmin will firstly fix what is broken on Garmin 1040 yet before even thinking about new features coming from1050. 

    Doesn’t make any sense having new features with the base functionalities now properly working… the sensors for example: mine have been dropping (especially the power, cadence and Garmin Varia UT800 and RTL510 not reconnecting sometimes when device is put into sleep) since a long time ago even In previous firmwares…

    Damn! When Garmin will correct that? They’re about to release the 1050 and haven’t fixed the1040 yet??

    I really have to be lucky. No sensors dropouts whatsoever (and i am commuting and training every day  with it)

    MTB with no  name speed and cadence sensors

    Gravelbike with cheap powermeter

    roadbike  with powermeter  and speed  sensor

    radar and lights

    two trainers

    various heartrate sensors,  watches, straps  whatsoever. No dropouts, ever. 

    I just  wish  they would enable connect iq apps  to use wireless so i do not have to connect my phone. No way  i will upgrade,  dont like the 1050, i  do  not need a screen from a  mobile phone (not saying it´s bad,  i can see people like it) which just  just  my  battery in half
