Garmin has begun distributing beta software update version 12.14 for its Edge 1050 cycling computer. The update, currently available to approximately 20% of users, focuses on resolving several key issues impacting user experience. This phased rollout allows Garmin to monitor performance and gather feedback before a wider release.
Change Log 12.14
- Fixed display issue for Garmin Coach recovery days
- Fixed empty sensor pairing list when pairing CIQ sensors
- Fixed securely paired sensor showing unsecure connection after power cycling the device
This latest beta version focuses on resolving three specific issues that have been impacting the user experience. Firstly, the update tackles a display problem that affected the presentation of Garmin Coach recovery day information. This fix ensures that athletes relying on the platform for personalized training plans receive accurate and timely guidance on their recovery schedules. Clear and reliable recovery data is crucial for optimizing training effectiveness and preventing overtraining, making this a significant improvement for users who leverage Garmin Coach.
Secondly, version 12.14 addresses a frustrating bug that caused the sensor pairing list to appear empty when users attempted to connect certain Connect IQ (CIQ) sensors. This issue hampered connectivity with a range of third-party devices, limiting the functionality of the Edge 1050 for cyclists who rely on external sensors for data collection. By resolving this problem, Garmin is restoring seamless integration with these devices, allowing users to once again benefit from a comprehensive and personalized cycling experience.
Finally, the update tackles a security concern related to sensor connections. In previous software versions, securely paired sensors could sometimes display an “unsecure connection” status after the device was powered off and on again. This issue created uncertainty about the reliability of the data being transmitted and raised potential security concerns. Version 12.14 aims to rectify this problem, providing users with greater confidence in the security and integrity of their sensor connections. This fix underscores Garmin’s dedication to protecting user data and ensuring a secure cycling experience.
For Edge 1050 owners who have established a Wi-Fi connection with their device, installing the beta update is a straightforward process. Simply navigate to the Main Menu, select System, then About, and finally, Check For Updates. The device will then automatically search for and download the available update.
