Garmin has begun deploying a new software update, version 26.17, for its popular Edge series cycling computers, including the Edge 1040, Edge 840, and Edge 540. While the rollout is currently staged at 20%, Garmin is expected to expand availability in the coming days. This update focuses on addressing specific bugs that have impacted some users, primarily related to the bike alarm feature and custom data screens.
Change Log:
- Fixed issues with enabling/disabling bike alarm
- Fixed custom data screens being duplicated in certain cases
The most notable fix in version 26.17 targets an issue that prevented users from reliably enabling or disabling the bike alarm. This security feature is crucial for cyclists who want to deter theft while stopping during rides. Reports of the alarm malfunctioning have circulated within the Garmin user community, and this update should provide a welcome resolution.
Beyond the bike alarm fix, Garmin has also tackled a bug that caused custom data screens to be duplicated under certain circumstances. Custom data screens allow cyclists to personalize the information displayed on their devices during rides. The duplication issue, while not as critical as the alarm problem, could lead to a cluttered and confusing user experience. By resolving this, Garmin aims to restore the intended functionality and streamline the user interface.
Garmin typically recommends keeping devices updated with the latest software to benefit from bug fixes, performance improvements, and new features. While this update focuses on bug fixes, it underscores Garmin’s commitment to maintaining and improving its cycling computer ecosystem. As the rollout progresses, cyclists can expect a more stable and reliable experience with their Edge devices.
