Can't Update Past 6.06

2664794 — Fri, 17 Jul 2026 02:03:19 GMT

I recently had an issue today where my Edge MTB randomly rebooted several times throughout the ride. After doing some research, I found that this issue was fixed in version 28.33, so I tried to update my unit.

Despite the unit arriving less than 2 weeks ago, it's still in software version 6.06. I bought it brand new directly from Garmin... shouldn't it come with new(er) software? Anyways, even after going to settings in the Garmin, going to settings in Garmin Connect, and even connecting the device to Garmin Express, it won't let me update the software. In fact, it even says "Software is up to date — Version 6.06." I'm pretty confident version 6.06 is not up to date. (And nothing changed when I enrolled in the beta program either.)

Garmin express let me update the maps, but nothing else. And to add salt to the wound, the unit gets stuck in the boot screen after disconnecting it from Garmin Express, forcing me to force reset it every time.

I was loving this unit until the reboot issue, and now the hassle of trying to update it is only making it worse. It's an expensive unit, I shouldn't be having this much difficulty- especially when it's (basically) brand new.

Climbing or Descending?

SamIveson — Sun, 05 Jul 2026 09:56:39 GMT

I've recently started using my Edge MTB and one thing I find frustrating is getting to grips with the climb or descend modes. On the surface it seems quite simple but often I'm not sure which mode I'm in. Is there a way to work this out without hitting the lap key?

It would be ace if there was a little border similar to the 5Hz one when in one of the modes. The 5Hz doesn't hang around long enough to be useful for this. Quite often especially on group rides where there's a bit going on I forget to hit the lap button then end up out of sync. A little border or even an optional data field would be a handy little prompt to remind me to put it into the appropriate mode.

Elevation data gaps on device, connect shows 0ft

f1xedgear — Fri, 03 Jul 2026 23:51:49 GMT

I recorded an eMTB ride and 0ft of elevation was recorded in Connect for the entire ride:

My edge did record elevation data but it has gaps where elevation drops to 0ft for a while, then back to the real elevation for a while, and so on several times for the whole ride. In the exported FIT file data the elevation changes from 0ft to "none" exactly every 5 minutes exactly.

Edge suggests switching to eBike profile when I'm already in eMountain profile when my ebike connects

f1xedgear — Wed, 24 Jun 2026 20:29:46 GMT

This is with a bosch smart system ebike. Asking to switch to a different ebike profile is not useful in this context. I don't even have "eBike" profile in my pinned list.

It WOULD however be useful if I had regular "Mountain Bike" profile started while riding my eMTB and the Edge detects the bike when it connects.

Ucoming workout step targets

mixchris — Wed, 10 Jun 2026 19:29:31 GMT

Hi,

How to see your upcoming workout step target (like Heart Rate zone) on a Garmin Edge MTB?

During my workout, I'd like to know what the next step is—for example, in which HR zone the next repetition will be. Unfortunately, I haven't found a field to enter that information.

Maybe there's something available at the IQ Store?

Upload segment from Edge to Garmin Connect?

9894287 — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 03:54:30 GMT

So I created couple segments from a ride sent it to my garmin edge MTB and they show up there so that part is good. However, these segments disappeared from my Garmin Connect. How do I send them back from the Edge MTB to Connect? Why did they disappear in first place? Is it something to do with the trail perhaps?

Turn Prompts doesn't work when navigation by courses

mixchris — Sun, 19 Apr 2026 07:21:35 GMT

Hi,

When I navigate using a GPX course, my Garmin doesn’t alert me when there’s a turn. The Garmin switches to navigation mode because arrows appear on the course, but it doesn't provide sound prompts for turns. I have to keep looking at the screen and following the track so I don’t miss a turn. Does the Edge MTB require any special courses format? How do I set up turn alerts when navigating a course?

Stop timing gates - not working

9894287 — Sat, 18 Apr 2026 01:48:52 GMT

I dropped in, messed up my line 20sec later so I stopped and walked back up. Went to the menu, Select Stop Timing Gates but nothing happened. Tried several times but no luck. The gate timer was still going until I reached the finish gate. Waste of run and pedal up.

Profile disappeared

9894287 — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 02:18:21 GMT

I am on the latest software 30.18. I noticed that E-Enduro profile was missing in Garmin connect iphone app and soon enough it was gone from the garmin Edge MTB as well. Is that a bug?

BUG - Changed profile to Enduro but it recorded DH activity

9894287 — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 02:09:01 GMT

Got to trailhead, changed profile to Enduro (I see Enduro on the screen) start recording only to find out later that my activity is being recorded as DH activity. When I saved the activity I still see Enduro the profile selected on the screen. It is annoying as you get different screens with the DH activity than with Enduro. However I did appreciate not having to manually tell it whether I am going to Climb or going Dowhhill lol. Can we have that by default for Enduro?

Hello, anyone tried connecting garmin edge mtb to bosch system e-bike?

Has the random restart issue been fixed yet?

3706797 — Mon, 01 Dec 2025 18:16:59 GMT

I cracked the screen on my current edge 540 (had a crash), so I need a new bike computer. I would like to get a MTB version but not if it's going to restart at random times during rides.

thanks,

Downhill MTB records ascent and give personal records

Jimmykane — Sat, 08 Nov 2025 14:57:53 GMT

I bought the device for downhill MTB.

The device on the downhill profile records ascent and even proposes the ascent of the shuttles as a personal records.

Same happens to app.

Is this a joke ?

GoPro Remote for edge mtb?

hi all,

Why isn't the GoPro Remote connect IQ app available for the Edge MTB?

Isn't it obvious it should be ?

SRAM AXS POD controller

SwissMountainLeader — Fri, 26 Sep 2025 08:48:17 GMT

Hi all,

I have a new Garmin Edge MTB. I had assumed I could use a spare button on my AXS POD controller to page through screens, my left POD is linked to an AXS reverb seat post. I did get the submenu "ANT+ Function Setup" one time but it no longer appears. The "ANT+ Function Setup" didn't let me do anything.

I thought I'd seen people using this on x40/x50 EDGE but a deeper search shows the Garmin documentation is a bit vague and the comments around on the internet don't give much clarity.

Has it worked for anyone?
