I installed the new firmware this morning and took a test ride to see if the live Strava segments was fixed - it's not. I setup a new segment, close to the start of my ride, and almost instantly when the segment started it shut down. After stopping and turning the unit back on I continued the ride... Again, about 5 minutes later on another segment it did the same, crashing this time about 5 seconds into the ride. Stopped, restarted and off I went. On the third segment of the ride it worked perfectly. Same exact setup I've been using but this time it seems that it's crashing more than just the first segment - I'm pretty sure it was only crashing on the first segment attempted on the earlier firmware. I don't know if it will help but I'll post the ride file later. Anyone else have same issue or resolved?
Once it just the first time after the updated that it crashed? There were multiple updates. Unit update, touch screen update, GPS update. Maybe one of the updates had not been fully applied.
Or maybe it's because each user seems to have the crash happen under different circumstances and Garmin is not able to recreate each users shut down off of a poor description of the events leading to the shut down, if everyone was sending in their error logs our issues would most likely get solved quicker :) So I will continue to send any and every error log I get, so they can fix my issue!
"so they can fix my issue!" People still believe that some devices work and others do not ? They are all broken in the same way. How much Garmin pay for an hour of being a beta tester ?
I've had crashes on several different firmwares usually at the start of a ride (on 2 1030s). Every time it has happened I have been able to restart my 1030 and it has continued to record including the data before a crash. This is way better than my 810. My 810 crashed all the time but more often in Europe than Australia. I can't help but think it had something to do with the maps. The Europe maps have way more information on them than the Australian ones, so perhaps the amount of issues people are seeing depends upon where they are and which maps they are using

Totally agreed.
If garmin want me to be a beta-tester, first they have to send me a 1030 for free.
Well, WTF... Today about 4 minutes into my ride the unit completely locked up and had to do a hard reset to get it back working. Good news is even on hard resets it still picks up from where it locked up (looks like I lose 45 seconds from when it locked up to when I noticed it had locked up though). After the hard reset I went about my ride and all was great, including dreaded Strava segments. Not one Strava segment crash (out of 4-5 of them on an hour ride) after the crash. I'll take that as progress.
