I am a user of Garmins for many years (most on bicycles). I had my problems with them, but last years it became worse. At least, it reaches my limits. When you read this forum, it is not hard to come to the conclusion that the Garmin organisation is completely running out of hand. After launching the Edge 1030, it immediatlty appears like a beta-version, and that is already a long time ago and hasn't changed so far. At least there was time enough to fix even the basics. Instead, Garmin goes on adding new features while forgetting about the basics. While many of these new features depend on connectivity, so far there was only one firmware version that managed to connect the Edge 1030 with my phone (Android 8.0). Just installed the new 5.33 firmware, and again no connection possible. To name a few basics more: shutting down by itself, not completely shutting down when intended, loosing GPS-signals or unable to find these. Not necessary to go on, because you can read more about it in other topics on the forum. The end of last year I came from Edge 1000 to Edge 1030 with the hope to get rid of returning hardware problems with the touch screen of the Edge 1000 (Garmin replaced it three times). New to me at that time was that Garmin was not actively supporting me in finding a good solution. I had good experiences with their services in the years before, but last time the discussions became hard and "they took their time". And now, the "halo" has shown up on the screen of my Edge 1030 (like many of us already experienced before and still do).
This is just to say that I am at the end of the road with Garmin. And others are warned.
