Bug tracker (Early adoption fun)

This could be the main thread to collect all Bugs and Feature requests. Add your feature requests and observed bugs and I'll add them to the top post keeping everything neat. If you can confirm behavior please let me know as well, so it will be easier to isolate the source of the error.

Firmware Version: 2.10
Firmware Version: 3.00 (current)

Bugs:

1. Battery save mode is disabled/stops after leaving a navigated course and rerouting has occurred. The setting for it is still turned on though, both drop down menu and settings. Update: The Battery save mode is also disabled if a sharp end ahead warning wakes up the screen.
Started activity-tracker and after the normal time screen turned off. A few minutes later suddenly it turned on whith the message, that I can save battery life, if I don’t turn the screen on to many times. I confirmed. Afterwards saving mode didn’t work at all. [Rudgas, ndugu1]

2. When an Off course warning occurs, the map screen freezes until the screen is pressed again, showing the position indicator in the wrong place/not moving. Does not happen ever time [bikepc01, Rudgas]

3. When calculating a round-trip course, the warning "Route calculation error" is shown behind the "Searching" screen. The beep occurs, but the error field is only shown after the searching field is closed. Multiple error fields can be present at the same time. [bikepc01, Rudgas]

4. The sharp bend ahead warning had a font error, where the outline of the text was much bigger than it should be. Warnings are nearly illegible at times (very fuzzy fonts), especially when there is lots of text. [Rudgas, Markow]

4.1. Had sharp bend ahead warnings popping up occasionally. Do not have a clue yet when and why they occur, but I got them only while "Off Course" warning was active. Also happens when no route/course is selected while recording ride and all navigation prompts are turned off. [bikepc01, Rudgas]

5. Route recalculation on imported routes from the app (not tried on other imported routes) that contains turn-by-turn will reroute to the point where the route was left rather than the nearest point of the route. [Rudgas]

6. Set elevation does not work, after entering a number, it disappears shortly afterwards and displays "0m". [Rudgas]

7. On occasion on long rides when swiping down to use widgets, the window in which the widget is to appear goes blank, and the unit freezes and stops tracking. [Markow]

8. Charging the device while in use, in the drop-down menu, the battery text is broken. Off the screen to the left is what appears to be a Bolt, followed by a "-" character. The battery level in percent within the battery is displayed correctly. [Rudgas]

9. Distance for upcoming turns on turn warnings does not count down at top of map screen that pops up over a data screen. (The countdown does work properly at the bottom of the pop-up map screen.) [Markow]

10. When navigating, screen randomly becomes unresponsive, however does correctly wake up/sleep/shoe map. [Rudgas]

11. My device has triggered the emergency alert twice now without reason. First time was at the end of a steep MTB single trail and I thought I was maybe going fast and then braking until coming to a complete halt too suddenly - anyways, when riding the same trail a 2nd time (on another day), I went really really slow on purpose. I came to a complete halt and after maybe 20 seconds, it triggered the alarm AGAIN. At the exact same GPS location. I will keep observing this the next time ... would be interesting how the device detects an "emergency" at all. Stupid thing was, on the 2nd occurrence of the alarm, it didn't let me cancel it (screen was frozen) and the only reason no message was sent to my contact was because i had no cell coverage at the time :S [Veronika]

12. My Edge Explore has a real problem with addresses/saved locations. I've saved several places I visit often - work, home, friends' houses, new favourite pizza restaurant - and after either syncing or being switched off, it loses them every time.
They [Garmin support] had me download my Garmin folder from the device and send it over to them. Having looked at it, they identified it as a known issue which is already being worked on. They don't have an expected date for it to be solved. [mouserat]

13. Mapping function breaks after several days of continuous riding and recording. I observed this twice, each after about 5 days and ~15h of recordings. The observed effects are that the map is taking more and more time to load, requiring several seconds to load and reorient when waking the screen up. Scrolling is also extremely slow and nearly unusable as sometimes the map jumps back to the starting point.
This can be resolved by a reset of the device (setiings etc. reset is enough), or oddly enough, travelling quickly about 300km without recording. [Rudgas]

14. Bluetooth connection problems [multiple reported instances]

    7. On occasion on long rides when swiping down to use widgets, the window in which the widget is to appear goes blank, and the unit freezes and stops tracking.
  • Not having used all mentioned options:
    - 2: observed this too, but intermittent. Mostly the map keeps moving correctly
    - 3: observed this too
    - 4: had sharp bend ahead warnings popping up occasionally. Do not have a clue yet when and why they occur, but I got them only while "Off Course" warning was active. I vote strongly for a menu option to switch OFF/ON the Sharp Bend Ahead warnings.
  • Thanks for confirming!

    8. Charging the device while in use, in the drop-down menu, the battery text is broken. Off the screen to the left is what appears to be a Bolt, followed by a "-" character. The battery level in percent within the battery is displayed correctly.

    B. Not quite a bug, bit still bad behavior: When looking through the map and selecting a POI by clicking in the top field an info screen appears, clicking the back-button (lower left corner) returns the map to the current location rather than to the location of the just selected POI.

    9. Warnings are nearly illegible at times (very fuzzy fonts), especially when there is lots of text.

  • I've added 9. to bug number 4. as I think it is the same error, I think I've also narrowed it down to multiple warnings overlapping each other messing up the text.
  • With new firmware version (3.00) changelog none of the above mentioned bugs seem to have been fixed.

    I will be on a 2-week cycling trip through denmark starting this weekend, so if anything changes within that time, I'll update it when I get back
  • Oh good lord, now it starts showing me previews of upcoming turns. Which would be a good idea if the position indicator was still shown and if it wasn't necessary to tap the screen to return to the map where you can actually see where you are in relation to the upcoming turn.

    Also bikepc01 the streetmap didn't solve the sharpbends warning, I was merely lucky. However it is possible to disable "system alerts" from waking up the screen so at least battery safe mode isn't broken at the first sharp bend warning.

    10. When navigating, screen randomly becomes unresponsive, however does correctly wake up/sleep/shoe map.

    1. In addition to all already mentioned battery saving errors I had this case today. Complete restart device. Started activity-tracker and after the normal time screen turned off. A few minutes later suddenly it turned on whith the message, that I can save battery life, if I don’t turn the screen on to many times. I confirmed. Afterwards saving mode didn’t work at all. GARMIN please fix this soon, it’s so annoying.
  • Hmm I can't quite remember, but I think hitting stop, power button (device sleeps), power button again, start. Once restored battery saving mode. Niw I have just everything disabled that wakes up the device.
