Will 21.10 reset my edge?

I would like to upgrade ot the latest firmware, but last time I did, it was a factory reset of all my settings - screen layouts, beeps, units etc.

Will this upgrade be the same?

If so is there a good reason to upgrade? For example does IQConnect 3.1 enable any new features on 820 that were previously not available?

  • obviously I am talking about 12.10.

  • You can save your settings and reinstitute them after an update or reset that causes you to lose them.  This is what Garmins says:

  • it didn't reset in my hands. I have never faced resets with updates on edge 820 . but its always a good thing to save as much data and be prepared for a reset and lost of data / settings
