Garmin-Matthew
over 5 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 7.50 to 7.85:

  • Training Load Focus. Low Aerobic, High Aerobic, and Anaerobic stats are tracked over a 4 week window and the user should be able to track what needs to be focused on.
  • Two-way setting sync. Changes to some settings made on the Edge (zones, user profile, etc) will now be uploaded to Garmin Connect.
  • Heat/Altitude Acclimation. Shows user's acclimation to different altitudes and hot/humid environments.
  • ClimbPro. See upcoming climbs while riding a course so you can prepare for needed effort
  • Power Curve tracking has been added to the My Stats menu.
  • Nutrition/Hydration tracking alerts
  • Training Plan Review Page Improvements
  • Workout Comparison Graph. Provides live feedback while executing a workout.
  • Widget Management. Disable and re-order items in the widget loop
  • Bike Theft Alarm*. While armed, get alerted when your Edge device moves.
  • Find My Edge*. Help find a misplaced Edge by making it beep or showing its last known location on your phone.
  • Grit/Flow**
  • Jump Metrics**
  • Added a new Popular data field category and generally improved the data field category order
  • Updated screen creation and editing flow (applies to eBike/STEPS, Lap Summary, Segment, and Data Screen)
  • Ability to swap data fields while in the timer loop on long press instead of edit only (additional tap required)
  • Updated battery icon to be more visible in some places
  • Incident detection setting is now active per profile instead of globally
  • Added ability to hide data screens without deleting them
  • Reordered settings to match the Edge 830, mainly splitting the growing number of settings into Safety & Tracking (Incident Detection, Get Assistance, Contacts, GroupTrack, Bike Alarm) and Connected Features (Phone, WiFi, Device Transfers)
  • Additional small changes and improvements

* Complete functionality requires an upcoming Garmin Connect Mobile release

** Mountain Bike Profile Only

    There are a lot of complaints out there on iPhones as well not consistently working on Livetrack.  :)    I had wondered the same thing (and also whether it was Samsung flagships vs other devices), but the forums are filled with a lot of folks complaining with various iPhones, Samsungs, HTC, Motorola, etc etc.   It _WAS_ working very well on the now ancient but solid 810 (which I gave away sadly), and was working pretty good on the 1030 up until the last several rounds of firmware updates and/or Garmin Connect app updates.  The big issue is it isn't designed to work in a hostile environment such as being out on the road.

    I think you are right, any glitch in the Bluetooth connection to phone or phone data connection to cellular network and it just gives up ghost.  It can’t be that difficult to cache position and resync when connection Is up.  Not sure if improved in 7.85 not tried.

    All  can say is that I ride with three other guys that have Iphones and they do not have connection problems. Yes, there were Livetrack problems but the latest firmware has corrected the problem. I have done 7 rides with the new firmware and Livetrack has worked fine on my Iphone 6 with the latest IOS installed. I don't know much about Android phones other than one of our club members has a Android phone and he has a good connection but I don't know if he has Livetrack working. If you can't get Livetrack to work, there's always the option to use the RideId app which is rock solid.

    I have the same issue with my Bontrager 1030 and wonder the same thing. Anyone know what the deal is?

    It's a brand new phone which was working great Livetrack and bluetooth wise for three 30 mile rides (on 7.85), and it's predecessor (a note 9) was working the last couple of weeks before that.  Then HHH - connect went completely tango uniform with sporadic LTE drops from being out in farm country on marginal/no  signal intermittently killing it,  and then bluetooth started dropping in and out in sympathy apparently.   Connect mobile app itself just isn't designed to deal with real world usage with communications not being perfect, and the 1030 firmware appears to also have issues, but it could just all be app related at this point.  It was perfect for nearly a month across two phones,  and then went back to not.
