Edge 540 26.18 Gradient percentage works bad!

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 exchange my device. Why is there no offical statement from Garmin and why wasn't it fixed with the recent update?

It's like, are you Garmin guys even checking the Forum??

И след 27.13 е същото

I had the same experience. Rode up and down a pretty flat stretch of road along a river today, was constantly shown a 2 % decline in both directions. I can't believe this. Changed over to a 540 from a 530 because the altimeter / gradient readings went completely nuts all of a sudden, and now this.

Went for a ride yesterday after upgrading to version 27.13 and it fixed the gradient percentage problem.

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 sure when I'll have the chance to ride it though.

No changes from the old version 26.18

27.14 and it's still the same: Riding on a seemingly flat surface, Grad shows -1 % to -2 % continually.
Would have been a miracle if anything changed though, since the release notes for 27.14 don't mention the grade issue at all.

I am really fed up with this nonsense.
I bought the 540 specifically because the 530's barometer went AWOL, and now it's a similar issue all over again.

I just have quit Garmin! Bought a Whaoo...this is too ridiculous....
