New Edge 1030 Public Beta 7.85 Now Available

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

  • You should also read this thread and PDF from the 830 forum which gives a very complete and useful description of CimbPro and how it works: forums.garmin.com/.../understanding-climbpro-on-the-edge

  • As great as this update is, I still don't think the current version has all the features as there is no respiration rate, unless you have this functionality and it's omitted from the change log.

  • Upgrade went fine and when i load a track with climbs i get nicly the climb maps etc. Also the hydration is added so will tomorrow do the Argus tour in South Africa and will update you on how it went. I don’t have data coverage in SA but will see if Climb worksThumbsup 

  • the metric "Fc average%" of the activity remains empty during all the activity

  • Just back from ride with version 7.85 beta:

    - strava live segments not working at all. Please fix before releasing production version

    - not able to directly ride strava segment which is downloaded via the segment explore widget during an activity. In the past (before version 7.00) this was possible. Please fix before releasing the production version otherwise the segment explorer widget does not make sense.

    I submitted a feedback form for those bugs.

    Other people that experience this?

  • In my experience you have this:

    battery % is easily fixed if you 1) wake the device after complete charging 2) shut down (not sleep). At next reboot it works

    Auto-upload to Wifi works if your edge has already connected to Wifi when you press save, otherwise you start the upload manually in the menu or do what you suggest (sleep+wakeup)

  • Just back from an 120km route with 8 climbs and liked it allot. No issues at all. Did not tested live as i do not have 4g in South Africa.  At home in The Netherlands i cannot test as we have no mountain’sThinking

    V7.85

    Connection with iPhone (Garmin Connect App) and Quarq XX1 lost several times during today's training.

    When the connection with iPhone is lost, the LiveTrack doesn't show your position.

    When Quarq connection is lost you don't see Watts on the 1030.

    If you need the FIT file, tell me.

  • Remember, if you need support please email the beta team.

    It's still rare that Garmin will help you directly on this forum thread.

  • The Humon Hex Interval field needs to be uninstalled and reinstalled each and every time you turn the Edge on. Otherwise you get a broken IQ app icon. IQ with !.

    Emailed humon about it, will email [email protected] now
