  • First ride with 9.68 beta, no gps track ....

    I was not on the indoor profile 

    Strange enough navigation to a point was working

    Wtf is wrong with Garmin latley ,are you beginers ? Because you act like one....

     

     

  • Firstly there is no mandate that you must update to the latest beta version 

    in doing so you take on the risk that it might not suit your configurations

    you could be objective with your comments so as provide useful feedback to the developers and also to other users to make them aware of problems you have encountered 

    whilst garmin May test the functionality of a firmware release it by no means covers the equipment permutations that users have coupled with the device knowledge they may or may not have 

    therefore constructive feedback moving forwards Would be more welcome

  • Sorry but this time I am forced to install latest beta, altrough I had all the betas since year 2000 to all devices

    9.50 Its a disaster, 9.66 beta , bigger one 

    Actually I want to use my 500 eur device, so please spare me with the knowledge

    My feeback was very simple, gps was not working! 

  • My edge displays version 9.68 after installing the update. Garmin express displays version 9.5.

    After syncing there is no more updates. The gps firmware is on version 2.5, is this the latest?

  • How were you forced to install the beta? If 9.50 was not working for you, then you could install one of the earlier firmwares. 9.50 is working fine for me but I did initially have problems with it that required several resets.

  • Maps were deleted and unable to add them back. Start to add maps back via Garmin Express, but Edge keeps dropping connection via USB to computer before maps can load.

  • Were not forced to, installed it manually. Did not have any problems and still dont have any.

    Updated because of all the improvements and because of new gps firmware. The only thing thats not clear is if my device did get the new gps firmware after syncing. says 2.5 and dont know if this is the new one

  • "Forced' by situation

    FW is 2.5 for my also 

  • What improvements does the new GPS firmware bring? I haven't had any issues with the GPS track. However, I know another 1030 user that has had tracking issues.
