Garmin-Matthew Does the new firmware update 3.50 not contain this?

No. The 3.50 firmware does not include this version.

Once firmware reach and stable version, I'll be able to update through the Garmin connect mobile app?

Is this applicable to those of us who have upgraded to 3.50?

Does this improve also GPS + Glonass mode accuracy or only Galileo?

Does the 3.55 beta firmware for the Edge 530 already have this? I already have the 006B310700.GCD file in the RemoteSW folder,

0 aweatherall over 5 years ago in reply to TJM276

No the GPS update is not included in the beta release. If you have already installed the GPS update then you don't need to install it again.

I have not installed the GPS chipset update but a file of the exact same name already exists in the RemoteSW folder. My computer prompts me to overwrite this file when I attempt to copy the new one. I am just checking before I do this as the instructions did not mention this.

Just overwrite it.

I installed this firmware along with the 3.55 Beta and my Edge 530, which has otherwise been free of issues, froze during a ride and I had to hold the power button down for 10+ seconds to get it to reboot. Upon rebooting, it could not regain GPS reception.
