RE: Crossroads as Hazards

looigi — Sat, 03 Oct 2026 15:38:19 GMT

Yeah. I quickly disabled the hazard warnings on mine because I found them of no benefit and potentially distracting from actual real hazards that I should be paying attention to. The problem is they're just crowd-sourced with no vetting.

Crossroads as Hazards

1208979 — Sat, 03 Oct 2026 10:47:28 GMT

I’ve recently noticed that my Garmin flags crossroads as a hazards. Fair enough but it would be more useful to have it flagged as a crossroad and maybe tell me the name of the road. Flagging it as a hazard is fine but what bugs me is that after I cross the road, it asks me if the hazard is still there. Um, it’s a paved, state maintained road. It has been there for decades and probably will be for several decades to come. In fact, I would be really concerned if one day it wasn’t there. Is anyone else experiencing this and does it bug you as much as it does me?

Garmin isn’t doing the flagging. Random other people are. That’s what the “it asks me if the hazard is still there” stuff is all about (it wants you to confirm other people’s reports).

RE: Slow map refresh and navigation delays on Edge 1040 with TopoActive 2026.11

But what about all the other devices that work with this maps? Watches and other edge devices !

Slow map refresh and navigation delays on Edge 1040 with TopoActive 2026.11

4353314 — Mon, 06 Jul 2026 06:10:29 GMT

Since updating to firmware 31.31 and installing the TopoActive Europe 2026.11 maps, I have noticed significant lag when following a route in navigation mode using a GPX file.

The map no longer updates smoothly and there is a delay in the position tracking, especially when changing direction or approaching an intersection. The map rotation and redraw speed are noticeably slower than before.

Yesterday I was riding a MTB route and, fortunately, it was signposted because if I had relied solely on the GPS instructions, I would probably still be waiting for them…

Is anyone else experiencing the same issue on the Edge 1040 since these updates?

Happy to read that it works for you too and is the confirmation that the problems are almost certainly caused by the new Topoactive maps.

I can confirm this as well. My Edge 1040 is running 31.33 SW, but I haven't installed the Topoactive 2026.11 maps because of all the reported issues. I'm still using the 2025.10 maps, and everything is working perfectly fine.

RE: Edge 1040 cannot find Neo 2T as Power Sensor, only as Smart Trainer

Edge 1040 cannot find Neo 2T as Power Sensor, only as Smart Trainer

4046685 — Sun, 27 Sep 2026 18:37:36 GMT

Hi,

I'm trying to use a Tacx Neo 2T with MyWhoosh and an Edge 1040.

According to Garmin, the trainer should support:

- one 2-way connection (trainer control)

- multiple 1-way connections (data only)

My goal is:

- MyWhoosh controls the Neo 2T

- Edge 1040 records power/speed/cadence only

However, the Edge only finds the Neo 2T as a "Smart Trainer". It never finds a separate Power Sensor, even when the Neo 2T is not connected to any other device.

Has anyone successfully paired a Neo 2T with an Edge 1040 as a power sensor only?

Or any other advices how tho connect the Neo 2T with MyWhoosh and the Edge 1040 in parallel?

Thanks!

open the tacx training app and go into the Neo settings and turn on the legacy protocols (probably it is disabled now this is why you cant find it as power sensor or speed sensor, there is a toggle button in the app, i dont remember for the exact name)

I don't have a Neo 2T so don't know., but my Saris trainer shows up as an ANT+ power meter identified by its ID number, not a name. Once I select and connect, I can edit the name.

With the Edge already being sent back to Garmin, and this thread getting out of hand, I am now locking it. For any other concerns or questions, please create a new thread.

Garmin 1040 Port Fire/ Melt

ZPhilly — Sat, 19 Sep 2026 18:55:44 GMT

Last night, the port on my Garmin 1040 Solar caught fire while I was not home and melted inside the computer. The computer still works fine and thank goodness nothing happened since I was not home. I saw one other post with this issue somewhat recently, is this an issue for anyone else?? I am very rigorous about taking care of my electronics, and this computer has never been in a crash.

Edit: rather than help me figure out what happened, Love that y’all are just trying to blame me. This fourm sucks! Bye bye

Just was curious on if this is a more widespread issue, dude.

Again:

What help did you actually expect?

To figure out what actually happened, like you said.

That's what you got.

@Garmin - DK what's the workaround for this issue? It's been over 3 months and users are forced to come up with workarounds themselves.

RE: Garmin 1040 Port Fire/ Melt

ZPhilly — Fri, 25 Sep 2026 15:49:47 GMT

Jeez "respectless dude"? Are you kidding me? Go away man

RE: Garmin 1040 Port Fire/ Melt

Cristox — Fri, 25 Sep 2026 15:47:36 GMT

Flipped you off because of the respectless "Dude"

What help did you actually expect?

To unmelt your device?

My help was the advice to not use the device without battery door to avoid USB port melting.

And you "Duded" me.

RE: Is it possible to turn off the Edge connected/disconnected message on my phone

Garmin - DK — Fri, 25 Sep 2026 15:42:40 GMT

Called2RideMTB - Thank you for the post. While some workarounds are available as advised by other users, but there is not a setting to disable the phone disconnected alerts on the Edge 1040.

If that's something you'd like to see developed and implemented in the future, use this link to send a feature request to the appropriate folks: https://garmin.com/ideas

Is it possible to turn off the Edge connected/disconnected message on my phone

Called2RideMTB — Sat, 19 Sep 2026 10:48:12 GMT

For more than 3 years, this message / request pops up from time to time with various circumstances.

For me, my Edge 1040 is sitting at my desk charging and ready to go. When I work around the house, I get constant "Edge connected" and "Edge disconnected" messages as I move in and out of range. I have tried everything I can thing of.
The only notifications I have turned on are:

Activities
Badges
Find m Phone
Health Status and
LiveTrack.

Every thing else is turned off, including Device Communication and Live updates.

I have searched all of the Garmin Connect notifications, the Pixel 11 notifications, the 1040 notifications and even all through my Fenix 9 thinking may it was a relay message.

Please, Garmin, Give us a way to stop these specific notifications.
