Latest 26.18 gives completely wrong climb rates. I run same roads many years and a few Garmins before. After the update the Edge 540 went a mess! Anyone else notice that?

I can confirm that also on my Edge 540!

Hey Garmin,
The new update didn't change anything. I downloaded a third party app, as suggested by someone here, and it works just fine. At this point I'm kinda losing patience to be honest, thinking to…
I've been on 27.13 on my way back (did the update during a pause mid-ride) and pretty much experienced the same behavior as before. I'll need to test this on another route that I know very well, I'm not…

100% same for me! I was about to return my Edge 540 that I had been happy with, cycling hilly terrain multiple days a week. So it really just seems to be a software problem?
The same issue for me.
And - maybe related to it: when I'm on uphill with ClimbPro screen, being close to the hill top, maybe 50-75m, but still in the inclined part. Then, the climbpro gradient shows 0% and beeps that I'm done with the hill, while still having some distance to the peak.
I've found there's always been quite a disconnect from actual gradient, and previous garmin
eg where climb finishes
or gradient changes, but that was just out of sync
This issue i think is the instantaneous percentage gradient, Doesn't remotely match what the Garmin climb screen would indicate, on a section of climb what was 6-9%, the displayed figure was between 1-4%
Same voor 840. Read the thread there as well
I hope it is a SW problem they can fix soon but I don't see an official answer from Garmin.
It is a SW issue; there is an IQ app, Sensible Grade, that does the job much better.
Having the same problem here, I noticed this today on my Edge 540 Any official statement from Garmin?
Just noticed a software update, from 26.18 to 27.13 hopefully this fixes the problem.
Changelog mentions: "Improved altimeter accuracy with barometer outlier rejection"; does not look like grade percentage improvement to me.
