Map screen flickering due to road name swapping from side to side of the road

AuldNik — Sat, 26 Sep 2026 03:25:27 GMT

Edge 1050 with FW 32.20 and Topoactive Australia & Oceania map 2026.11. Map orientation is set to track up. When I have the map screen active, I notice that the text identifying the road I am riding on switches from one side of the road to the other every few seconds, and each time this happens the map flickers as it pans slightly from left to right or vice versa. It's just mildly annoying, but I could do without it happening.

Edge 1050 - Route management and auto zoom

3795296 — Fri, 25 Sep 2026 07:16:06 GMT

Route management really needs to be improved. For example, if I make a slight modification to an old route in Komoot, it appears as a duplicate on the Garmin Edge 1050 instead of simply overwriting the existing route with the same name. If I make another small change, it appears on the Edge a third time. Why? Also, please display the full route name. If I select a route and pick the wrong one, the list jumps back to the top when I go back. Then I have to scroll down forever again. It should just stay at the position where I was before.
Furthermore, the auto-zoom feature needs an overhaul; right now, it’s just annoying. It doesn't zoom in closer than 50m at turns. In unfamiliar towns or in the woods, that is much too far out. Please zoom in to 20m at turns—or better yet, just let us configure this setting ourselves.

Backlog in alerts during ride

ShockleyR58 — Mon, 21 Sep 2026 17:21:06 GMT

During rides, I get all the normal alerts like hydration alerts, climb alerts, route alerts for upcoming turns, or reroutes, etc. I find, though if I don't manually clear them, they all get backlogged. I was anticipating an upcoming turn on a recent ride and it seemed late popping up. When it finally did and I cleared it all of the previous alerts had to be manually cleared as well, maybe 12-18 or so. Shouldn't they 'go away' once they time out on the screen? Or maybe I'm getting too many in succession and they 'stack' on top of each other? Is there a setting to automatically clear alerts that aren't acknowledged?

Edge 1050 – persistent Bluetooth, WiFi and ANT+/BLE sensor connectivity failures (support says software issue

Fedechofler — Sat, 19 Sep 2026 23:26:50 GMT

Hi all,
I'm a long-time Garmin user and I'm having persistent connectivity problems with my Edge 1050 that I haven't been able to resolve with support. I'd like to know if anyone else is seeing the same thing.
Device: Edge 1050
Firmware: [version]
Phone: [model / OS version]
Sensors: HRM-Pro Plus [+ others]
Symptoms:
• Bluetooth pairing with my phone is inconsistent: it connects sometimes and fails at other times, with no clear pattern.
• WiFi connection is unreliable.
• ANT+/BLE sensors, including the HRM-Pro Plus, are often not detected during pairing ("no sensors found").
What I've already tried:
• Factory reset
• Firmware verification/update
• WiFi reconfiguration
• Full Bluetooth re-pairing (removing and re-adding the device on both sides)
None of this fixed it. I've been working with Garmin Support since [date] (case #[number]) and uploaded several videos documenting the failures. Support has concluded the issue is software-related, but I still don't have an answer on whether this is a known bug, when a fix is expected, or whether beta firmware is available.
In many years of using Garmin products (including the Edge 1030 and Fenix 7) I've never experienced anything like this.
Questions:
1. Is anyone else seeing similar behavior on the Edge 1050?
2. Has anyone found a workaround?
3. Can a Garmin moderator confirm whether this is a known and tracked issue?
Happy to share videos and logs if useful. Thanks!

1050 SW 32.20 No spoken directions anymore on iPhone 17 speaker or AirPods 3

villa-verde16 — Sat, 19 Sep 2026 10:38:36 GMT

I haven no spoken directions anymore on iPhone 17 speaker or AirPods 3. Output is only on the 1050. I checked all settings Audio output -> Phone, Sound -> all active. Garmin Connection active in the background, etc. This has always worked before. Any idea what can be wrong ?

Drink/eat (Timers) reminders

1454005 — Thu, 17 Sep 2026 08:23:14 GMT

Hello fellow Garmin users,

I'm having a problem with the eat and drink reminders.

On my old Edge 530, I could set a reminder to eat and drink. This is also possible on a 1050, but the notification stays on the screen for only a very short time, and I don’t hear any sound either.

With the old Edge, I had to swipe the screen away myself, but now I often don’t see the notification and miss the moment. I mainly ride gran fondos, so nutrition is really important to me.

Does anyone have a solution for this?

Feature request: Assign Sensors to Activity Profiles

rolfsg — Wed, 16 Sep 2026 17:35:08 GMT

Let me re-activated this topic Assign Sensors to Activity Profiles

I own two bikes. One e-MTB and one normal MTB. Both bikes are equipped with a SRAM AXS shifter and a powermeter. As long as I use one of these bikes everything is fine. But recently my wife started to use my eMTB to join me on some rides. As the sensors of both bikes wake-up at about the same time my Edge connects randomly to the sensors it first detects. So I need to disable the sensors of the eMTB (my wife is using) and reconnect the sensors of regular MTB I am using. Of course on my next ride with my eMTB I need to reconfigure the sensors again.

That said, it would be desirable if the activity profiles would include the option to enable/disabled the sensors connected to the unit.

Did something changed for the bell function

lhol — Tue, 15 Sep 2026 14:30:08 GMT

Since the beginning I disabled the sound of all the beeps and whistles. They annoy me. The bell however always worked. I seldom use the bell but today noticed that the bell didn't work anymore, not with the double tap on the screen or with the hidden button of my Di2. I have to enable sound to be able to use my bell in which case I get all the annoying beeps back. Is the bell now coupled to the sound? Has that change lately? I am confused.

Edge 1050, FW 32.20 - Crash after tapping the data field of a Connect IQ app

3795296 — Mon, 14 Sep 2026 10:31:24 GMT

My Edge 1050 crashes immediately if I long-press a Connect IQ app data field and then tap it briefly—for instance, to replace it with another app or a Garmin data field. Is a firmware update coming soon to finally fix this error, or is there a workaround to resolve this bug?

Why is it so difficult to update software?

6019210 — Sat, 12 Sep 2026 13:49:41 GMT

Update has been available for weeks. I have it on wifi. I've hard reset. Check for updates > no updates available / transfer already in progress. Nothing happens.

Does Garmin not buy Claude Code for its engineers?

Ride profile distance on home page differs to total rides recorded on device

AndyClutterbuck — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 13:10:02 GMT

HI - I have been using a Garmin 1050 for about 2 months. I have three separate ride type profiles set up i.e. Road / Gravel / MTB

Initially the totals for each ride type appeared to reflect the actual rides I had recorded on the device. However I have noticed that recently the distance for each profile type has been decreasing despite adding more rides.

As an example under my MTB profile I am now showing only 26 miles recorded as at today's date (see image below). But as you can then see from the two screen shots of recent rides I have MTB rides recorded of 25.04mi 30th Aug, 15.90mi 22nd Aug and then there are others during Aug and July. The same occurs for both the Road and Gravel profiles but just thought it easier to show the MTB profile as its a less prolific example.

The totals were definitely increasing after each ride in the early weeks of using the 1050 but at some point in the last few weeks that's changed.

Garmin Coach training not syncrhonizing on Forerunner 255

ebuckinx — Wed, 09 Sep 2026 07:01:42 GMT

I have completed a Garmin Caoch training and started a new one. On my watch, it keeps telling me that I should syncrhonize my watch to see the daily workouts.

However, the previous coach training seems to be sticking around and preventing the new programme workouts to appear.

There is no problem whatsoever with the synchronization except for Garmin Coach.

Also, if you run an activity similar to the one planned, but did not start it from there, Garmin Coach gives you no possibility to link both. That's one reason why I had my 10k marked as failed when it was actually executed on the expected day, but outside Garmin Coach.

Also, when the programme has been completed, the application does not move on automatically to the next programme available in Connect.

: Request to hide or minimize the yellow pause overlay

paul.lefort — Wed, 09 Sep 2026 04:38:46 GMT

Please can you add a setting to hide or minimize the yellow/orange banner that appears when an activity is paused on the Garmin Edge 1050. When I stop to look at my map, this persistent visual indicator blocks a significant portion of the screen and makes it difficult to read navigation details. I know I can tap it but It would be much better if we could choose to hide the overlay while keeping the activity paused, or have it automatically fade after 1 second.

Text message size compared to older Edges

mtnc — Tue, 08 Sep 2026 23:51:13 GMT

See how small the text message is on this huge crystal clear Edge 1050 screen? Why is it bigger on my nine year old Edge 830? I called Garmin about that today, apparently there are no options for font size except on maps. My Fenix 8 has an option to make the text bigger, why not the 1050? It's sad that I can read messages on my tiny watch but not on Garmin's largest cycling GPS. I'm old (soon to be 65) and I can't read text messages unless I stop, and even then it's a struggle. I have to get my phone out most of the time. Bummer. I bought a bigger Edge thinking the font would be at least as big as the 830.

IF YOU FEEL THE SAME WAY...

Call Garmin at 1-800-800-1020

They have a call back option so you don't have to sit and wait on hold. It works very well. Ask for

BIGGER FONTS

If calling isn't your thing, then maybe please leave a suggestion on their Share Ideas page.

Edge 1050 soft 32.20 hrmax fiction

kielak — Mon, 07 Sep 2026 11:06:37 GMT

Edit: My translation error.

I was using an Edge 1050 and a Garmin chest strap. My actual max heart rate from the race was 192, but the watch shows an estimated 191. It’s absurd that there’s no “safety margin” for the actual heart rate it’s just a metric.

The watch is obviously inaccurate, but using the same algorithm, it shows an estimated HRmax of 196, which is true because my actual HRmax from the chest strap during FTP tests comes out to 195–196.

The estimated FTP, intervals, and my Agent AI as well as lactate tests all show nearly the same resu

The calculations from the Edge 32.20 software are fictitious

VO2 calculation - Ignore outing

pjg61 — Sun, 06 Sep 2026 23:26:25 GMT

My VO2 max was great, training all summer, all those intervals and then I got the flu. So my first ride out, my 1050 drops by VO2 Max by 2 points. Duh ! Yes, I'm recovering from the flu. Anyway to tell the Garmin to ignore one or more activities in the calculation ? I know I'm not breathing well, I recovering from the f'in flu !

Firmware 32:19: haven’t been able to update to 32:20.

djg21 — Sat, 05 Sep 2026 23:03:07 GMT

i have been unable to update my Edge 1050 to firmware 32:20. I’m in the beta program. When I try to update, I get a message “No updates available.” My Edge is working fine with 32:19, but I like keeping the device up to date with latest firmware. Any suggestions?

Since 32.20 update SRAM Force shifting gets sluggish and becomes almost unresponsive after an hour of riding.

dmarchini — Wed, 02 Sep 2026 23:52:50 GMT

Observing after about an hour of riding I begin having difficulty with shifting down to smaller cogs. I have my SRAM Force right shifter programmed for that function. My left shifter is programmed for upshifting and works flawlessly. The batteries are fully charged and all firmware on SRAM is fully up to date. This issue has only begun since the 32.20 update. I can turn the head unit off, wait a minute, and shifting begins working again.

Garmin Coach workout completed on Edge 1050 but still shown as incomplete / Rest Day

FRZN_ — Tue, 01 Sep 2026 20:39:50 GMT

I’m experiencing an issue with the Garmin Cycling Coach on my Edge 1050.

Today, Tuesday September 1st, my scheduled workout was:

Sprint - 53:00 - 2×14×0:10 @ 430 W

I started the workout directly from the Garmin Coach workout shown on the Edge 1050, so I did not start a generic or manually created workout.

I completed the entire workout and saved the activity normally. The activity was successfully synced to Garmin Connect and appears there as:

Sprint - 27.05 km - 54:05 - 149 W average power

However, Garmin Coach does not recognize the workout as completed.

In Garmin Connect, Tuesday still does not show the completed workout, and on the Edge 1050 itself the Training/Coach screen now shows “Rest Day” for today, while the Sprint workout is still shown as if it had never been completed.

I have already tried:

Synchronizing the Edge with Garmin Connect again
Restarting/syncing the device
Changing the activity type to “Training” and syncing again

None of this changed the workout status.

This is particularly confusing because the activity itself is clearly synced correctly and contains all the workout data. The problem seems to be specifically that Garmin fails to associate the recorded activity with the scheduled Garmin Coach workout.

What is the correct way to fix the completion status of an already completed Coach workout?

I do not want to reschedule or repeat the workout, since I have already completed it exactly as prescribed.

My Edge Firmware is up to date.

I have also seen multiple Edge 1050 firmware changelogs that specifically mention fixes for Garmin Coach issues such as workouts not showing as completed, workouts not syncing, and Garmin Coach incorrectly showing a rest day after a workout was completed.

However, I am still experiencing exactly these issues on my device. This makes it seem like the underlying problem is still not fully resolved, which, quite frankly, is pretty embarrassing for Garmin’s top of the line cycling device.

SW 32.20 saving diagnostics

eduferro26 — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 16:19:13 GMT

The device is in its factory state—nothing non-Garmin installed, just standard maps. The only third-party app is Shimano Force Vector from the IQ Store.

Since the update, the "Saving diagnostics" message appears constantly. This happens repeatedly in the following situations:
1. When modifying my own cycling profile data screens; it won't allow me to edit or save them, even when trying to restore previous settings.
2. Upon finishing a ride, while on the "Save or Cancel" screen.
3. It is impossible to follow a route. The route was created in Connect and sent to the device using that same app. When attempting to load the route, the device kept rebooting continuously for 10 km; with each reboot, the route calculation reset to 0%. It never got past 39%, making it impossible to actually follow the route.

This is supposed to be a stable release, yet a BASIC function of the device has been lost.

SW 32.20 change of Routing Mode not saved

JEF27 — Sun, 30 Aug 2026 16:45:48 GMT

When I edit an activity profile and change the Routing Mode in "Navigation / Routing", for example to "Straight Line", this change is not saved permanently. After exiting the menu and re-entering it, the Routing Mode is reset to the default from the template from which the profile has been created.

I have that issue since upgrade to SW 32.20. Tried multiple device resets but behaviour still the same. Same issue also when changing the Routing Mode in Connect app.

Edge 1050 randomly reboots on firmware 32.20

balanila — Sun, 30 Aug 2026 16:42:04 GMT

Yesterday I was riding without navigation turned on, just a regular activity recording.

Maps are the standard ones, nothing third-party loaded.

The ride was long — moving time was 8:17:31, total time 15 hours 30 minutes — which is why the radar battery started running down.

Connected sensors were: cadence, HRM, and a Varia RTL515 (battery was low, then critical low). I had turned off the Varia's tail light to save battery, leaving only the radar function active.

The device rebooted twice, about 20-30 minutes apart, with no error messages at all — it just restarted. After the reboot, the tail light turned back on, and my activity was in a state as if I had pressed Finish but hadn't confirmed it yet — the screen had a red outline and a checkered flag icon.

This issue never happened on previous firmware versions.

If there's anything I can do to help investigate this, I'd be happy to.

Custom cues not spoken from Ride with GPS

7380826 — Sun, 30 Aug 2026 13:50:26 GMT

When creating routes in Ride with GPS, you can add custom cues to point out hazards, POIs, or other personal cues. After transferring route to 1050, the custom cues are not spoken while on the ride but rather a generic “point approaching” is spoken.

Is there a way to transfer a RWGPS file to the 1050 where the custom cues are actually spoken out loud?
