    Still I can not change the fields into MapDashBoard with Garmin Express/connect IQ

    Also with other devices there are some issues with ConnectIQ and Express in this days so are  not device related but probably servers related. 

    So... I think you have to wait.

    I’ve had two instances where on 5.50 the unit just randomly restarts. I guess I’ll throw 5.51 on

    Not exactly a reply to this post, but to https://forums.garmin.com/sports-fitness/cycling/f/edge-830/166997/new-edge-830-frozen-locked-up-v3-50/1083580#1083580 , where Garmin posted and immediately locked the thread.

    That post may have a clue to what they are field testing here.  The issue there involved system lockups, and the post says they are "trying to collect data on this very issue".

    The lockup issue (and a possibly unrelated power drain issue) went away for me when I went from the factory 5.1 firmware to beta 5.28.  A later 5.xx beta was also good and so far the 5.5 release, which installed automatically, has been good, but it has only been a couple of days.  I'm a moderately frequent beta tester, but for now I'm in "if it ain't broke don't fix it" mode, so I won't install this one.

    Hi, do you know if the v. 5.51 will fix the problem of « light control » if the varia rtl515? I can’t control my varia with my 830. Thanks!

    Three things:

    1. The release notes (at the top of this page) imply there are no functional changes between 5.50 and 5.51, so if you have 5.50 then 5.51 probably won't "fix" anything new.
    2. Your problem is probably the way you have paired your Varia; I had mine paired as a Radar, but after I deleted the sensor and added it as a Light Network (I forget the exact steps) it worked great.
    3. You haven't really said what your problem is with any detail. I suggest you search the cycling forums (not just 830) to see if others have had problems with Varia 515, and then post in a separate thread (maybe on Varia forum) with more details to see what others might have to say

    Has there been any progress made?  This beta has been out a month and I've still seen people report issues with crashing and freezing and no updates from Garmin.

    Weird stuff in Garmin Express showing as 5.0 (previous version numbers were also wrong but the old version 5.50 showed as either 5.1 or 5.2, be nice to get it right! )

    Also showing loads of updates on main screen but nothing when you actually go to the unit. Seems you have broken something else.

    I think they are working on major enhancements to bring some features from 1030 plus to 830. I read in DCRainmaker that few features will be coming our way from 1030 plus. I am using 5.51 for a while and so far, i saw only one drop in sensors and everything else works great.

    The major improvements in the 1030 plus are hardwear, chipset screen memory to bring it into line with the 830. 

    Garmin would be better of fixing the various firmware problems that exist now before adding new features that inevitably break more stuff. 

    We can but hope Grinning
