Garmin has released a new beta software update version 12.10 for its Edge 1050 cycling computer. This update introduces several new features and improvements designed to enhance the rider experience and provide more comprehensive data and control.
One of the notable additions is the ability to view future weather conditions directly on the Edge 1050 for scheduled Garmin Coach workouts. This allows cyclists to better prepare for their rides by checking the anticipated weather and making necessary adjustments to their plans.
The update also expands camera control options within the Edge Remote and Di2 Remote Actions, giving riders greater flexibility for capturing memorable moments during their rides. Furthermore, users can now schedule software installations to occur after their ride is completed, minimizing interruptions and ensuring a seamless cycling experience.
The Edge 1050’s calendars have also been improved. They now offer enhanced visibility for Garmin Coach running and strength workouts (with compatible wearable support). Additionally, multiple workouts scheduled for the same day can now be viewed within the calendar, providing a clearer overview of training plans.
Several enhancements have been made to data accuracy and presentation. These include:
- Fixed issues with altimeter calibration menu night mode.
- Improved GroupRide rider list presentation by centering it around the user.
- Addressed issues with incorrect gear details and data field population for eBikes.
- Included connection type information for paired sensors.
The update also includes several improvements to the user experience, such as:
- Resolving nutrition/hydration tracking interruptions if the device is powered off during an activity.
- Eliminating pauses during the update process before the unit reboots.
- Adding support for HRM 200 pairing and data.
- Introducing light color mode glances for the glance list.
- Fixing issues with truncated max speed/cadence data in certain graphical data field configurations.
- Resolving invisible text in dark mode spectator messages.
- Improving graphical data field selection within Garmin Connect Mobile (GCM) for data screen setup.
The update also addresses various bugs and crashes encountered in previous versions, contributing to a more stable and reliable user experience.
This beta update demonstrates Garmin’s ongoing commitment to refining and enhancing the Edge 1050’s capabilities, providing cyclists with a more intuitive, informative, and enjoyable riding experience.
