Version 4.10 firmware. Same change log as 3.55, is this just a public version of the 3.55/3.57 beta?

Should we expect any real changes or improvements over 3.55, or 3.57, or is this just a public release of the same firmware?

first part, no

second part, yes

purpose of public betas is mostly to consolidate the next official release, containing those changes from the betas

happy & safe sporting

It's also a great way for them to delete all the posts about the new GPS chip not working properly without having to officially comment. 

I’m surprised but perhaps not surprised that nobody from Garmin has commented about the GPS chip. If there were no issues with it I suspect they would have come out and said so.

So Should we still install the GPS Beta?  According to the post below it was not included in the 3.50 beta

GPS Chipset Type S1 (3107) software version 2.42 Beta? 

That’s the truth. They keep deleting my post. It’s a waist of $$$$$$$

SW version 4.10 Phased Rollout is at 100% as of 8/07/19 6:30 pm CST

Are there different chipsets in some versions of the 530?

I don’t think there has been any confirmation anywhere that any of the Edge units are using the new Sony GPS chips, however it is a reasonable assumption. (Feel free to confirm either way please Garmin-Matthew )

As to if there are different versions of chips in the 530, one would hope not, but who knows at this stage.

Is it the new Sony GPS Chip that is thought to be a problem, or a solution?

had a look at someone's public activity with a E530

E530 uses Sony chipset... sku:"006-B3107-00"

it is the same file identity and version as with the newest Garmin devices

happy & safe biking
