New Public Beta 6.43 Now Available

Garmin-Shawn
over 6 years ago
A new Beta software for the Edge 1030 has been released. Full change log, instructions, and software for installing the beta can be found here.
  • For any issues that you encounter please fill out the form included in the download and attach it to an email to [email protected]. Please note that you may not get a response to the email unless we need more information on the issue you report.
  • Although this software is believed to be reliable, it has not yet been released for production and should be used at your own risk.
Changes made from version 6.30 to 6.43:
  • New Beta Feature: Galileo satellites. There is now support to use the Galileo network of satellites to assist in getting GPS fixes. With the correct GPS firmware, this option can be enabled by selecting GPS+Galileo in the GPS setting. Sync the device with Garmin Express to make sure that the new line of GPS firmware is provided to the device. Without this, the option will not be available.
  • Added support for ANT+ cycling dynamics metrics.
  • Updated smart notification categories. In the phone settings, social and other smart notification categories can be enabled. This will make the Edge show notifications from other applications depending on how they are categorized by Garmin Connect Mobile. Apps like WhatsApp, GroupMe, and Twitter may show up under social and things like e-mail, calendar, and news may show up under other. These categories are off by default and must be enabled to be seen.
  • Fixed an issue causing cadence and power data dropouts.
  • Fixed the activity profile routing mode getting reset to Road Cycling mode.
  • Fixed issues with device transfers.
  • Added prompt to indicate when a course has more course points than are supported by the device.
  • Improved Shimano STEPS response time.
  • Fixed lens mode VIRB setting.
  • Fixed issue with transmitting front and rear gear information to the Varia Vision.
  • Fixed sharp bend notifications on the Varia Vision.
  • Fixed issue with elevation back correction that could allow large dips in elevation.
  • Added the current software version to the power on page.
  • Completing a segment will now turn on the backlight.
  • Added a minimum scale to the altimeter page so that small elevation ranges are reflected properly.
  • Improved activity auto-start when the device is stationary.
  • Minor bug fixes and stability improvements.
  • Minor CIQ improvements.
Installation Instructions
  • Connect your Edge 1030 device to your computer using the micro-USB cable.
  • Download and unzip Edge1030_643Beta.zip and place the GUPDATE.gcd file in the \Garmin folder of your device's internal storage drive.
  • Disconnect your device from the computer, approve the update on the Edge, and wait for the update to finish.
  • If you would like to revert to the last public release software, follow the above steps but place the GUPDATE-630.GCD file in the \Garmin folder. Rename the file to GUPDATE.GCD before disconnecting your device.
    NOTE: If you revert to an older version of software, all of your settings will be reset to defaults.

    Can anyone explain how "This will make the Edge show notifications from other applications depending on how they are categorized by Garmin Connect Mobile. Apps like WhatsApp, GroupMe, and Twitter may show up under social and things like e-mail, calendar, and news may show up under other." works

    I think that is not well described, in garmin connect app you only have option to enable or disable notifications for social apps
    Then in Garmin 1030 you have new option group for social apps , if that is enabled you will receive notifications for that area
    I also think that settings are diffrent if you have android or ios

    You did not understand the situation!

    Every one have a lot of routes on the device. Some for walking. Some for the road. Some for gravel.
    When selecting one of them for a course, you have to know which is for what!
    This is an essential on such a device! Should I before look on an onther system to know which one i should select?
    Never!


    First it is NOT everyone that keep lots of routes on their device. Second the Edge is a cycling computer. It is not intended to be a multisport device. There are watches for that. But anyhow as I said the Connect Mobile app can do the filtering and sorting you ask for, so just do that on your phone before you go, pick the route and send it to your device. Manage your routes on your phone instead of the Edge. Keep your Edge clean by deleting unused routes, they will remain in your Connect account/ You can do that now, or keep asking for a functionality that will never come because by design the Edge is a cycling computer only.

    I downloaded firmware 6.43 today, installed, and tested it. 6.43 seems to have solved my navigation issue. The pop up map occurred 0.11 mile prior to the turns and the next point and distance to next worked.

    HI,

    with this firmware, I have cadence and power gaps every few seconds (in opposite to every few minutes of before). picture included.

    cadence and power come from Favero Assioma Duo via ANT+ciq.forums.garmin.com/.../1424960.jpg

    There is no point people getting upset with each other and also note that English is not everybodies first language.
    It would be good to be able to have different folders for courses. When I have gone touring I have preloaded up to 30 or so courses knowing I might not have access to the internet all the time.
    My only way around this was to sequentially change the name of each course.
    It would be nice to be able to sort the courses into folders and also have a sort option of distance to the start of a course much the same way segments are sorted.

    I just updated to v6.43 but there is no GALILEO available.
    Means, it seems, the GPS-software was not updated.
    Garmin Express does not offer an GPS-update.
    Does anybody know how can I update the GPS-software?
    (I live in Europe - Austria)

    EDIT:
    Solved!
    The second boot of the device showed: "update GPS-software".
    GALILEO now is available!
