weather alerts not turning off. Always default back to on.

I get 3x weather warnings every ride on my edge 530. Only way to modify them is in the app and it doesn't work.

I am having the same problem and I think I found a fix. Go to iPhone Settings, Garmin Connect, and change share location to Never. If Garmin Connect on your phone can't tell where you are, it shouldn't be able to provide a weather alert. The Garmin device has built in GPS and doesn't use your phone location services for anything. I'm hoping this is a long term fix.

This issue for iOS only, no issue with android. This method may work: go to iPhone settings --> Garmin Connect --> Turn Share Location to Never. Turn Notifications Off.

Hi mates.

I have a Garmin Edge 830.

I emailed Garmin Support because this is very serious, especially if you use the navigation on trails... the random Weather Alerts can distract you and block you from seeing the map in key moments.

For reference, Garmin Support reference ID: 20813457K0.

I almost had an accident and was reluctant to use the Garmin again because I think it is NOT SAFE.

The support told me they are trying to FIX THIS ISSUE.

I included the link to the Edge 830 thread in my original email to prove more people need that fixed.

Perhaps if more people also complain about the same issue, they might prioritise it.
