RE: A bug with the nutrition alerts?

Cyclomac — Sat, 14 Nov 2026 03:38:06 GMT

Hi,

I do not know if the 1060 is like the 1050, but you could try this path:

From the main menu screen, go to "navigation", then "courses" and select one of them; do not go any further for now.

Now, lift up with your finger the screen from bottom to top. On my 1050, I have 4 menus with the one you need to stop... nutrition/hydratation.

From now on, this annoying menu wont come up any more with also other courses you have.

In activity profiles/"your profile"/nutrition-hydratation/track consumption has to be...off, also.

Hope it works also on the 1060.

A bug with the nutrition alerts?

Pdlpsher — Sat, 14 Nov 2026 02:52:47 GMT

I never use nutrition alerts and I have these things disabled. I was following a route today and every 30min an alert showed on my screen. It was super annoying because I don't want these. I checked my settings and I do have these alerts disabled on all of my activity profiles. I wonder if this is a bug? When I did my first ride I tested the navigation and then rode the majority of the ride without navigation, and I don't recall seeing these alerts. I wonder if navigation is causing this bug. Could someone test it if you plan to ride a planned route? Lastly, I tried to make these alerts go away by clicking on the X or check mark. After a press the alert stayed there. I kept pressing either options to no avail. After 10-15 seconds the alerts did go away. I never use nutrition alerts so I've never seen this on my old Garmin units. I wasn't even able to make these alerts go away. Something is definitely off.

Since I don't use these alerts so I don't care about this but I thought it was weird that I wasn't able to make these alerts go away by clicking on the 'X' or 'check mark'. Someone navigating a course with the Smart Fueling enabled could test it and report back if they are experiencing the same thing...

Thank you! Coming from a 1030 Plus so I had no idea about this. I did confirm that changing the setting on one course did disable it for all courses. One would think that disabling nutrition alerts would also disable Smart Fueling but I guess not.

RE: A bug with the nutrition alerts?

poyo — Sat, 14 Nov 2026 03:13:07 GMT

Sounds like Smart Fueling, not the regular eat/drink alerts. Go to Navigation > Courses, select a course > Nutrition/Hydration and turn off "Plan Enabled". According to Garmin, this disables Smart Fueling alerts for all courses.

Navigation voice prompt bug

Pdlpsher — Sat, 14 Nov 2026 03:00:18 GMT

While navigating the voice prompt will say 'In one quarter of a mile turn xxx'. The turn is clearly about 1/10th of a mile or roughly 500ft ahead, not a quarter mile. So I think this is a bug. Instead of revising to 'one tenth of a mile' I suggest just use feet or meter, like say 'Turn in five hundred feet'. Let's not use 'miles' for a turn that's coming up very quickly. I noticed that after each turn the voice prompt will announce the next turn, usually in xxx miles. So it would be nice to always use 'feet' (or meters for those using metric) for an upcoming turn, and reserve miles or kilometers for the next turn right after making a turn. Thank you.

Remove widget meteo at the top of the screen

fifidu63 — Thu, 29 Oct 2026 08:02:51 GMT

Hi, is it possible to remove the weather widget and icon at the top of the screen that’s never up to date due to lack of connection ?

I don't need this option and it might help save battery life.

Thanks !

Philippe

You have to have the Connect app running on the background in your phone for the weather widget to update.

Voice commands: Screenshot and Zoom

Russ — Fri, 13 Nov 2026 14:00:49 GMT

Hello,

Zoom

I find zoom command quite useful, but honestly I expected to be able to say something "Zoom 50" to set zoom level to 50m and if I say "Zoom 2000" to set it to 2km zoom level. The reason here is I find it silly to have to yell at it "Zoom in, zoom in, zoom in". Sometimes I have to do it after having to yell "Ok Garmin" for 3-4 times to get it activated.

[Edited:] I would also suggest implementing command "Zoom route" to zoom at the level that would fit my route. I usually zoom out to bigger zoom levels just to be able to see where I am relative to my course.

Screenshot

The feature works and it's helpful to be able to take one-off screenshots without having to enable screenshot taking with the power button and ending up making hundreds of screenshots while trying to lock the screen. The problem with this voice activated screenshot features is that it also captures the "Ok Garmin" own UI, the mic and waveform graphics covering the datat field. Another improvement could be added is to include screenshots into the data that could be transfered during the sync process.

Garmin Coach problem

Grabek1 — Fri, 13 Nov 2026 16:24:11 GMT

Hi, today i have a problem with refreshing workouts on my Edge 1060. In app i have a sprint training, on my Fenix 8 pro in Garmin Coach there is the same workout that i have in Connect App. But Edge froze yesterday training from the Garmin Coachcalendar and doesn't want to refresh and show today i must do yesterday workout, not today. And for tomorrow i can see that Edge, App and Fenix show the same workout. Problem is that for today show yesterday workout which is done, don't show today workout and dont wont refresh. I cannot do today workout. Why are we always beta testers for Garmin paying for device.

Edge 1060 with Software Version 5.27 ???

1425937 — Thu, 12 Nov 2026 22:30:16 GMT

I recently purchased a new Garmin Edge 1060, which arrived in sealed, original retail packaging.

While checking the copyright information on the device, I noticed that it reports the following:

Software Version: 5.27

Build identifier: 752a87b492

Build date: August 20, 2026, 11:56:30

GPS Version: 3.00

Connect IQ Version: 6.0.3

DFU: v1.00 [2fd3ec]

TSC Version: 224.23.00 NX

The device appears to function normally.

However, the publicly documented Edge 1060 software releases appear to start with version 8.17, so I'm curious about the origin of the 5.27 firmware.

Could you please confirm:

Is version 5.27 a legitimate factory-installed firmware version for retail Edge 1060 units?

Is this an internal engineering or pre-release build?

Should I update the device through Garmin Express, or leave the existing firmware installed?

Is there anything unusual about this particular build identifier?

The device was supplied in sealed retail packaging, so I have no reason to suspect it was previously used or tampered with.

I'm simply hoping to establish whether this is a normal factory firmware configuration.

Thank you for your assistance.

RE: Edge 1060 with Software Version 5.27 ???

1425937 — Fri, 13 Nov 2026 16:22:52 GMT

Thank you for the information. I'll go ahead and update it to 8.21. Just wanted to be sure that I didn't get a preproduction model or something like that.

aweatherall — Fri, 13 Nov 2026 15:40:53 GMT

5.27 was the available version when the unit was built at the factory. Since then Garmin has made several updates available that have fixed and improved things.

I would recommend updating to the latest build, which is currently 8.21

RE: Disabling alternative fields

aweatherall — Fri, 13 Nov 2026 15:38:31 GMT

Currently not, but I have asked Garmin about it.

Disabling alternative fields

cichy — Fri, 13 Nov 2026 12:36:17 GMT

Would it be possible to add an option to disable the alternate field mode in the next update? Currently, deleting a field doesn't work; you can only replace it with a different value.

RE: Disabling alternative fields

cichy — Fri, 13 Nov 2026 15:37:04 GMT

I know, I have it set up anyway. But it can be done more elegantly.

RE: Voice commands: Screenshot and Zoom

ethnicfoodisgreat — Fri, 13 Nov 2026 14:43:10 GMT

I agree about the zooming. You should be able to zoom in or out multiple levels with one command. This seems like a simple fix. Hopefully Garmin will enable this soon.

RE: Disabling alternative fields

aweatherall — Fri, 13 Nov 2026 13:11:32 GMT

You can set the alternative to be the same as the primary, which would give the same result as unsetting it.

RE: Edge 1060 Replacement Unit Initial Impressions (Firmware v8.21)

the battery autonomy is to me a issue.

Edge 1060 Replacement Unit Initial Impressions (Firmware v8.21)

wontae kim — Fri, 13 Nov 2026 06:53:59 GMT

I recently received a replacement unit due to a dead pixel issue. Before this ride, I updated the firmware to v8.21 and the maps to the latest versions. To ensure stability, I connected all my devices and sensors strictly via ANT+.

Ride Conditions & Setup

Firmware: v8.21
Sensors (All ANT+): Varia RCT715 (flashing mode, radar active), HRM, Shimano Dura-Ace FC-R9200-P Power Meter, Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 R9270, Speed Sensor
Display & GPS: Auto Brightness / Auto GPS (SatIQ)
Ride Environment: 60km (37.2 miles) on suburban paved roads, 386m (1,266 ft) elevation gain, wind 6m/s, temp 6–14°C (43–57°F).
Total Time: 2 hours 10 minutes (including rests).

1. Battery Life I started the ride at 96% and finished at 83% after 2 hours and 10 minutes. Doing the math, this projects to an estimated total battery life of about 16 hours. Honestly, this still falls a bit short of my expectations.

2. Voice Commands (via Di2) I assigned all three left buttons on my Di2 R9270 to control the 1060. Instead of using the "OK Garmin" wake word, I used a Di2 shifter button to trigger the voice prompt. I used commands like "Zoom in map," "Zoom out map," and "Report pothole" (successfully reported 7 potholes).

Even while riding into a headwind at 30–35 km/h, the recognition rate was near 100%. I used the device's built-in microphone, keeping my mouth about 20–40cm away from the unit. It might be due to the firmware, but activating the voice command manually via the Di2 button resulted in flawless voice recognition.

3. Speaker Audio The audio is noticeably clearer and easier to hear than on the 1050. At maximum volume, I could easily hear the rear vehicle approach warnings and navigation prompts even when riding at 40 km/h.

4. Boot Time / Freezing Unlike the 1050, when I first turn on the 1060, the screen freezes for about 7–10 seconds before the device starts operating normally. Could this longer initial loading time be due to the addition of the voice command feature?

Overall Impressions Unlike my initial buggy unit, this replacement device operated very stably. Most notably, there were zero disconnection issues with my Varia 715. I can't do a perfect 1:1 comparison with the 1050 just yet because Shimano's Force Vector Viewer isn't supported on the 1060 yet (which requires connecting power data via BLE and Force Vector data via ANT+). But so far, the stability is a huge relief.

Can't connect EDGE Remote to 1060

Vadim.lt — Thu, 12 Nov 2026 12:00:37 GMT

Any hint on what can cause the issue? Remote was used with 1050, not trying to connect it to 1060 - no luck.

1060 is searching it (remote is available to pair in 1060 menu), remote is in pairing mode, but..... no connection.

RE: Can't connect EDGE Remote to 1060

Vadim.lt — Fri, 13 Nov 2026 08:47:35 GMT

Ok, guys. Thank You for Your concern. You'll never believe. I was trying dozens of times to connect the remote.
I've sent a request to Garmin support for assistance. Support asked me to record a video of attempt to connect THE REMOTE.

Which I've started to record and ..... remote has connected to 1060 while this attempt. Like it should at the first try!

No ideas what was different, but it worked.
