Hi,
I was an Edge 1000 owner and sold it to buy the 1030 and for now - second week of use - the only positive aspects are the battery and the screen.
I?ve got problems with
- speed sensor does not mesure the speed for a specific wheel size, only gives about 25% of the real speed.
- Language is set to a country and now the power off menu is in english while the other menus are in portuguese.
- problems with sync the activities with strava and garmin connect by phone. When it happens only works with cable and garmin express.
- The %of climbing is always wrong... but very wrong, places with 10%,15% or more appears like 5% or 6%. The 1000 was very accurate.
- When updating to the latest firmware the unit keeps shutting down after 15 or 20 seconds. I have to reset it to factory default and run the update again.
I use it for indoor cycling and all mountain. Still didn?t test it following a gpx track to see if it works like the 1000... hope that works fine.
That?s a lot of things to solve with updates and makes no sense how Garmin launch it to the market when they know for sometime that for instance de %climb gives wrong values. We shouldn?t be the "guinea pigs" for Garmin.
