Notes:

  • 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 9.26 to 9.28:

  • Added support for Connect IQ System 5.
  • Improved map turn review zoom level when approaching roundabouts at slow speeds.
  • Fixed issue where very long course names resulted in routing calculation failure.
  • Fixed issue where activities could be hidden from history.

Changes made from version 9.24 to 9.26:

  • Fixed software crashes caused by encrypted CIQ programs that are no longer valid.
  • Fixed a couple of device stability issues.

Changes made from version 9.22 to 9.24:

  • Fixed automatic maximum heart rate detection.
  • Added the ability to perform the FTP test with power data coming from a trainer.

Changes made from version 9.20 to 9.22:

  • Changed gear battery data field to display percentage remaining if available, which affects Shimano Di2 single-battery systems.
  • Updated sensor low battery prompts to differentiate between low and critical status.
  • Fixed issue where distance could stop accumulating.
  • Fixed issue where text message sender names would display incorrectly.
  • It could be that Garmin changed the error handling on the Edges. I will see what I can find out.

    Some cars use LADAR instead or RADAR so they would not impact the Varia.

    Many of the cars that are using radar are operating at a much high frequency than the Varia at 77 GHz band

  • that's for sure the case as this message never appeared before this firmware. This message is useless and should not be displayed t'ill radar still working.

    And this message this really annoying as is forever displayed until pressing a non standard button against others messages (back !!)

    And this is not due to others radars as it can happen against a wall in the middle of nowhere.

  • My Garmin Edge 530 does not always connect to the Varia lights after coming out of sleep. Sometimes I have to turn egde off and on to connect to lights and radar.

  • Don't know if it's because of this beta, but I can no longer initiate a sync from the Connect app (iOS), I have to use the menu in the Edge to start a sync.
