Change Log
- Fixed issues with enabling/disabling bike alarm
- Fixed custom data screens being duplicated in certain cases
This latest update tackles two specific problems. First, it resolves inconsistencies with the bike alarm feature. Some users had experienced difficulties enabling or disabling the alarm, leading to potential security concerns or false alarms. Version 12.17 aims to provide a more reliable and predictable performance of this feature, ensuring cyclists can confidently secure their bikes.
Secondly, the update addresses an issue involving custom data screens. In certain situations, users found that their personalized data screens were being duplicated, cluttering the display and potentially hindering quick access to desired metrics. This update rectifies the duplication problem, restoring the intended functionality and streamlining the organization of custom data fields.
Garmin encourages all Edge 1050 owners to update to version 12.17 as soon as it becomes available. Keeping the device’s software up-to-date is crucial for optimal performance, ensuring access to the latest features, and benefiting from bug fixes and improvements. The update process is generally straightforward and can be initiated through Garmin Express on a computer or wirelessly via the Garmin Connect Mobile app on a smartphone.
