Hi there,
I wanted to post about a strange and annoying bug issue I’ve been experiencing with the Garmin Edge 1050 GPS navigation computer device. Sometimes when I go into Navigation > Courses > Plus Button > Course Creator, and then create a route to a particular city. It would display an infinite loading circle loading, and it also won’t save the route. It also doesn’t allow to add the options of looping back to start, or out and back. All you can do is exit out and perhaps try again
It would only then work correctly in creating a route, if I were to restart the device a couple of times. It happens very randomly. I am currently on the latest firmware 10.19, which was released a good two months ago now
I believe that all of the map data should be loading up a lot faster while scrolling around the entire map, it’s a little slow on displaying everything, and the route calculation waiting time could also be improved
Other than that, Edge 1050 works lovely, apart from this odd issue which I’m not sure if anyone else has experienced. I’m especially impressed with the UI menu performance, and boot startup/shutdown times, clearly that new powerful processor is exceptional to have in this new device. The sharp, bright, and vibrant display is also really nice
I believe a new firmware (v11.17) is upcoming for the Edge 1050 soon, which will fix a whole bunch of bugs and crash issues, so let’s hope it fixes this one too
