it's getting mind-blowing!!!

 We accept anything and everything with Garmin, paying a fortune for a GPS to be hassled with each update. When will there be a fix??? My 1040s has become incredibly slow in the menus since 25.25, and a reset does not correct anything, I am not the only one in this case. So why Garmin are you not doing anything for the 1040? All the fears I had are real now, the 1050 is the priority and we, after buying a crappy device for 600 euros, have to wait months to get updates that do not break anything else functional... This is my last Garmin purchase

  • Most of the long time Garmin users know very well how bad their devices are: the software is full of bugs at the release time and the situation does not really get any better with the later updates. Switching to another brand is made hard due to the walled garden of Garmin Connect: you can (easily) upload your workouts only from Garmin devices. If you have years or decades of your workout data in the Garmin Connect, you just keep using the Garmin devices even if some competitor may have better products. I actually believe this ecosystem lock in is the only way for Garmin to compete with Wahoo, Karoo and other brands.
