  • For any issues that you encounter please fill out the form included in the download and attach it to an email to [email protected]. Please note that you may not get a response to the email unless we need more information on the issue you report.
  • Although this software is believed to be reliable, it has not yet been released for production and should be used at your own risk.

Changes made from version 4.10 to 4.19:

  • Added support for Connect IQ 3.1.
  • Added support to control Garmin inReach remotely.
  • Made improvements to the indoor cycling user experience.
    - Improved smart trainer discovery and initial setup experience when using an Indoor activity profile.
    - Improved the Follow Course experience by enabling UI (map, ClimbPro, Elevation, etc) and data recording from the simulated course.
    - Made improvements to smart trainer sensor calibration.
  • Made improvements to Workout user experience.
    - Added FTP line to workout comparison displays.
    - Allowed graphical workout data fields to be configured on regular data screens.
    - Improved the display for open steps on the workout comparison graph.
  • Made improvements to the ClimbPro user experience.
    - Made ClimbPro available for navigation to a location.
    - Added a setting in the ClimbPro data screen setup to specify which climbs should be detected (All, Medium/Large, Large Only).
    - Removed the ClimbPro page from the timer loop if there are no climbs left in the ride.
  • Made improvements to the Segment user experience.
    - Fixed an issue where segments with slashes in the name would not be processed and would create subfolders on the file system.
    - Fixed an issue where the segment leader could get reset during a sync.
    - Added setting in the Segments menu to set a Default Leader Priority, which allows the user to set a default leader to apply to all segments.
  • Added pressure filter in order to improve elevation recording.
  • Improved Firstbeat heat acclimation by utilizing weather forecasts.
  • Added ability to render Hebrew text for incoming smart notifications. This requires additional font files. Follow instructions on separate forum post.
  • Fixed issues with the map zoom level not being set correctly.
  • Fixed an issue where Battery Save Mode could stop working mid-ride.
  • Added jump prompts for each jump in cases where there are multiple jumps in a row.

  • Fixed cosmetic issues with Extended Display mode.
  • Added additional info to the nutrition/hydration settings page.

    Is there any plan to include the possibility to add 2 target parameters for a workout? As it is right now, we can only set PWR/HR or cadence as a target parameter in a workout. However, it is mostly common to train with cadence + HR/PWR as target values for intervals. 

    This feature is claimed in a lot of posts in this forums, since training peaks added this feature in early 2018.

    In addition, being able to navigate through the workout is very useful. Sometimes we need to delay or repeat an interval. I understand this last request can be a bit more complicated to implement, but the former should be easiest.

    Really like the improvements of the workout screen - having the ability to add the graphic display on configurable screens is a huge step forwards, so kudos. 

    Still confused about segments on Edge devices: Pretty much the only way of using them seems to be when. it following a course and not following a structured workout. So is the idea to aimlessly cycling around and stumble upon segments?

    Regarding: Added pressure filter in order to improve elevation recording.

    Unfortunately 4.19 does not resolve the elevation issue for me. Here is a ride from this morning. I can consistently reproduce this problem and would love to work with you guys to help get this resolved if we believe this is a software problem. I will get in touch via the feedback form.

    As someone wrote earlier maybe it has to do with auto pause, at least partially.

  • 0 over 5 years ago in reply to PiotrekJ

    Thanks , unfortunately auto pause is already disabled on my device and the device was not put to sleep or the timer stopped in order to trigger this.

    I have the same problem, i've been looking for solutions for a long time.

    Garmin service replaced my device but it didn't help.

    I don't know if this is coincidence or not, and more testing will be necessary, but:

    I trained indoors tonight with my usual setup (Tacx Neo 1, Polar H10) running TrainerRoad from my PC. After installing 4.19 the Edge 530 said that it found a Smart Trainer and asked if I wanted to set it up: I said no. But during the ride, my computer kept dropping the power / connection to the Neo and TrainerRoad kept going to sleep.

    I train simultaneously with the Garmin on Indoor Ride mode and recording (not controlling) the Tacx so that I can get the Firstbeat training information available from power+heart rate. And this was the first time that my computer has ever had a problem with connection on that, and is also immediately after I installed 4.19.

    I'll be testing further in the coming days. That's the right way to train, right? ANT FE-C from my PC to the trainer, with the Edge just picking up the ANT+ signals to get the additional data Garmin provides. Right?
