27.14 still crashing

Software 27.14.

Maps activated according to 'configure maps' page:

TopoActive Europe 2025.10

Garmin DEM Map EU 2023.10

Garmin Geocode Map EU 2024.10

Garmin ClimbPro EU, East 2025.10

Unfortunatelly, the device keeps crashing when navigating. At least 1 crash per 20km.

It is also annoying that after the restart an activity is stopped and doesn't resume automatically. So if you didn't notice the crash you have your workout spoiled (statistics, training progress, social media, and so on).

  • Hello,

    of course you may contact me and revise my recent rides.

    Yes, you can view my data on GC and you can also email me.

    BTW: I didn't have these issues with firmware 27.13.

  • Same here :(
    Currently I'm on 27.14, but the problems in minimum exists since February (can't remember which FW version has been in use there).
    On an average one reset every 100 km. The 1040 then automatically does a full reboot. Most times you simply can resume the activity after the reset by pressing start again. For continuing navigation you sometimes have to re-select the course to follow. In addition, most times live tracking must be re-activated manually, so that the wife doesn't have to worry during longer rides through the night ...
    I once had the case that at the end, on a 230km ride with a reset, there was no GPX track available in the recording uploaded to Garmin Connect. Fortunately I was able to recover the GPX-track by means of an online tool from the live-track URL data ...
