Edge Explore firmware 4.60 bugs

After upgrading from 4.40 to 4.60 so far (few minutes) I have found following bugs:

1. Missing backlight level after entering pull down screen. Backlight level is displayed after touching slider but still there is missing * icon at slider position.

2. Missing translations of some menu items in main menu (I'm using Polish language settings)

  • After syncing by GE missing translations in Polish (repored as #2) are fixed. Thanks Garmin.

    Problem #1 (missing * indicator on backlight level slider) is still not solved in my device.

  • l will try the next ride

  • how can you have contour lines like that? and what is the "antenna" symbol at the top right?

  • about battery I haven't tested like you but it seems less consuming to me, I have usedit for 3 rides and still has 25% two rides where navigated and one just recorded, around 8 hours on the bike...

  • how can you have contour lines like that?

    By enabling "Draw contours".

    what is the "antenna" symbol at the top right?

    It's an indication that Varia radar is connected.

  • My last ride was total time 4h50min of which 3hr51min driving with just recording activity - no course loaded, no navigation, screen backlight 65% (stays on all the time) and my battery was at 28% with start @ 100%...

    I'll repeat my next ride with firmware 4.60 and we'll see then if battery consumption is comparably high and then install firmware 4.40 to see if batt. consumption is back to 'normal'. This in order to convince Garmin that there is a battery consumption issue that is introduced with version 4.60.

  • "Live" data while on the road until now with firmware 4.60:

    2019-11-03     55,62 km    2:02:33    66%    16,6% per hour    backlight 70%    recording activity + loaded course, no navigation
    2019-11-06    101,24 km   3:51:38    28%    18,6% per hour    backlight 70%    recording activity
    2019-11-10     71,63 km    2:48:57    60%    14,2% per hour    backlight 70%    recording activity + loaded course, no navigation

    For comparison reasons gone back to firmware 4.40. Data will follow.

    "Live" data while on the road until now with firmware 4.40:

    2019-11-13     42,08 km    1:49:12    82%     9,9% per hour    backlight 70%    recording activity + loaded course, no navigation
    2019-11-14     32,75 km    1:19:42    89%     8,3% per hour    backlight 70%    recording activity
    2019-11-16     65,62 km    2:25:12    78%     9,1% per hour    backlight 70%    recording activity + loaded course, no navigation

  • Supposed to be fixed with formware 5.00.

  • A quick test with the Explore idle on the table during 4 hours (no GPX, 2 sensors - not connected, screen backlight 70%, stays ON, main menu screen) resulted in a promising 7% per hour battery use. Also this issue looks like solved in version 5.00. Live data from rides on the road will follow.

  • Bug #1 reported in original post (missing asterisk icon on backlight slider) solved in firmware 5.00
