Garmin EDGE 540/840/1040 Series Firmware Update 24.18: Details & Road Tested!

[@6degreefloat]

To say I’m excited for a (close to) real-time grade climb is an understatement …

[@ryoukokonpaku1575]

With the numerous rollers and climbs here I'm really excited as well. It's actually quite faster than I expected too which is great to see. In the past my Edge would hilariously report negative gradients while I'm already mid-way onto a steep roller which made look it funny when you overlay stats from your FIT file if you recorded the ride.

[@todd727300]

Well, this isn't it. This update is much worse than the beta we had before 24.18. On previous and obvious climbs which the prior software correctly identified as a climb, our 840s present a 0% or even a descent grade. Again, this version is much worse, particularly in rollers and 1-3% climbs. They had it, but lost it for some reason.

[@cathalkenneally1614]

I’m so glad I bought the Edge 1040. I got it in a sale and the fact that the updates from 1050 models syncing with the x40 series. The Edge 1050 is not worth the price for a better display and less battery life. This is the reason why a lot of people don’t buy the Hammerhead brand because it has a great display but a terrible battery life

[@throx]

They really need "Magpie" as a separate hazard category in Oz. Animal doesn't quite convey the drama incoming.

[@kilroy2573]

That would be awesome, particularly when in a new area!

[@SnappyWasHere]

Question from the part of the world with no magpies. Do they actually hit you or just swoop low to scare you?

Also needs a shortcut that can be put on the DI.2 hood buttons.

[@ryoukokonpaku1575]

Seems Garmin Coach is basically the daily suggested workout feature imo. I've tested it with my Forerunner 955 and the suggestions are almost the same if you set a race of the same date. The only difference from what I've seen is that you can actually see the workouts on the calendar while on DSW you could only see it on your device. Pretty neat imo, especially if your device doesn't support DSW natively (e.g. Garmin Venu, Edge 530 series etc...). One tip I usually do is create a fake event if you don't have any race in mind to join depending on what kind of capability I'd like to work on. If I wanna improve climbing, you could easily create an event with a course that's very hilly even if it's not from your own backyard (e.g. EU famous climbs), if I wanna improve my punchy power, add a course that has rollers and set a goal time/speed. If it's similar to how DSW works, it will tailor your suggested workouts based on the course profile and goal you've set. I usually use the DSW workouts as a guide on how I make my structured workouts when training, as it's a free version of Trainer Road's Train now feature imo.

[@mikekilbride2116]

The gradient upgrade is fantastic and long awaited. About eight years ago I was in regular contact with Garmin about this and they were a bit dismissive, I even moved to Hammerhead for a while, big mistake! This is a good as I need it now and another reason to love my 1040s, still can't justify moving to 1050!

[@migatron7359]

I just want them to fix the syncing of the daily workout suggestion - Epix 2 is my primary device, sync that and the 1040, yet nearly everyday 1040 only suggests a rest day. Super frustrating Great review, cheers.

[@sashimifr]

I can only imagine the mess that it is internally at Garmin between their various software tech teams for their to be such a lack of homogeneity across their devices...

Great update. Thank you. From my experience, I’m finding the white text on red background when notice of hazards come up are hard to read. I wonder if others are experiencing the same

[@adamweb]

I watch all of these updates to keep track of what I'm missing even though I'm still using an old refurbished Edge 530... I keep telling myself I'll finally upgrade when it dies but apparently these devices last forever! 😂

[@jasonmlyniec5579]

I noticed there’s a difference in the way Strava Live Segments work. Previously if you were ahead of your PR or KOM it would show +0:01 for example, but if you were behind the time it would show -0:01. After the update this switched around. I was riding a segment and thought I was getting a new PR only to hear the sound that I missed it.

[@tedjeanmahoney8547]

Very well done video!! Content was spot on. Tis

[@flipooh]

thank you as always!!!

[@azolyak]

I've been running this (and the preceding few betas) and of my gosh thank goodness is update far more stable than the betas of late. Road hazards are interesting, but functionally useless in places like NYC, where an alert could be for any one of 10 potholes

[@duathlete827]

Wonder if they'll ever solve the "lag" problem. Sometimes the grade change lags so far behind, I'm half way up the hill before it changes from zero to the grade the hill started at. I have a 530 so I hope it gets the firmware update.

[@PaulSchinder]

Garmin Connect should really have a better way of seeing reported hazards than having to go into the course creator. A simple map where you could see reported hazards in your area before going out would be great.

[@klausbinn777]

Great video as always, Lama. It’s a good update from Garmin, but I’ll still find something to complain about… 🙄 I do wish they had added some of the new fields on the 1050 to the 1040, to keep them consistent. There are a couple of new graphical fields for power that look good - one that looks like a speedo with coloured bands for zones and another that shows a live bar chart view of how long you’ve spent in each zone (a bit like on the new Zwift HUD). They look more useful than the existing three on the 1040. I think there are Connect IQ third-party fields etc, but I’d prefer something native. Maybe pushing the processing power of the 1040 too far? But how can third-party devs do it if Garmin can’t? Also, nice if Garmin had updated the data fields appendix in the 1050 manual to reflect changes in the new unit rather than just copy & paste the appendix from the 1040 manual… I’ve never found documentation their strong point. 😉

[@690MBCOMMANDO]

Great review as always. How did you set up your screen layout with those data fields?

[@revelationdetailers894]

My issue for some time have been the lag time. Just updated my 1040. Hope to test it out and see tomorrow.

[@justsomedude7556]

I actually contact Garmin about not have preset 12 speed for XPLR on there even though it has been out for a while. The rep agreed that should be there.

[@BogdanTimofte]

I had to disable the road hazard alert because it was warning me about potholes on the opposite side of the road.

As a 1030+ user, I appreciate the amount of time Garmin is saving me by ignoring my device for updates.

[@mdabu486]

I had my 1030+ for 4 years and was perfectly happy with it, I would've thought Garmin would've brought the 1040 features to the 1030+ like they did for the 1030. Seeing as there was not much hope for these updates I just sold my 1030+ for a 1040, the 1030+ is effectively obsolete and from what I gathered unlikely to get any meaningful updates

[@macvos]

This is just the way these companies operate. They need to sell new units. However, everything still works as well as before the 1050 introduction, no functionality has been taken away, and the 1030 Plus is still a great unit. The 1050 doesn't make the 1030+ or 1040 a worse unit somehow.

[@leissp1]

Thanks for this. I note that I can't share courses from my 1040 to my 1030 plus. There grade I will wait to see if its improved for me I usually ignore the reported grade as its so laggy and I continue to have incorrectly reported grades like Im going uphill and the Garmin reports downhill. Thankfully the downloaded file is accurate.

[@justinossa7349]

The update wiped all of my presets and profiles... I am pretty sure that is what caused it! I called Garmin and tried to retrieve the old set up but had no luck.

[@k1mfor]

I've been using the newest beta but the grade changes have still been lagging 5-10 seconds behind. I really hope this new version finally fixes that but I believe it when I see it...

[@Brookes79]

First time I ever tried hazard reports it shown up on my Garmin course on my account afterwards. After that it doesn't seem to be working. Only thing I can think of is (do you have to have your Garmin Connect app open on your phone throughout your ride & your phone connected to it?). I'm only asking as I would prefer not to have my data & Bluetooth on during long rides out, so I know I will have enough phone charge until I return home safely.

[@ianbennett148]

Also am update to the Virtual Partner, you can set an average speed, e.g. 22kmph - makes more sense than the previous xx% BTW, after installing the update, my Garmin radar no longer notified the headset when cars were approaching, quickly fixed(after the first ride)

[@henning4919]

Great information ! Question: Is there actually a way to quickly switch back and forth between the zoom view of a map and an overall view of a map while driving with a 1040? What I'm missing is simply an overview of where I am on the planned tour (gpx via komoot). Clicking using the + and - buttons is not practical. Maybe with another separate map page/dashboard but I didn't manage to do that either. Thanks for hints

[@ChrisGuarraia]

Do you think that Garmin might consider displaying gradients down to tenths of a percent (e.g., 5.3% instead of just 5%) like Wahoo headunits do? There is significant difference between an x.1% and an x.9% gradient. 11:00

[@gplama]

Unlikely. I really don't think these devices are accurate enough for 10ths.

[@joecalarco2227]

is there any way by using a satellite communicator like the Motorola defy or mini 2, where you can pair the 1040 to allow for livetrack while not in cell service?

[@changrenyong7616]

Unfortunately, this latest still does not address my main gripe about the 840: when the display is set to autobrightness, it's too dim under low light condition. Lately, since a few beta firmwares ago, my 840 will become unresponsive for about 10 seconds after powering the unit up. I am also experiencing that in this new firmware.

[@helicocrasher]

Thanks for the update review. Unfortunately I have zero success with the map manager on my edge 840. The download always stalls at some low%, it never finishes. I still have to use Garmin Express. Furthermore the map manager shows „update available“ for latest/same map version. Did anyone test these functions before release?

[@changrenyong7616]

I am seeing inconsistent behavior regarding auto brightness and backlight in FW24.18. The first few times after powering it on, the display was difficult to see even with the backlight on. With auto brightness still enabled, I increased the brightness slider. When I did that, that seemed to have set a floor on how dim the backlight was allowed to go to. But that brightness setting (on the slider) did not survive a power off/on. I did a few more power off/on and only once did the display have an acceptable brightness level with the backlight on (Edge 840 did not automatically move the brightness slider all the way to the left in the dark closet).

[@cricanwa]

It's the same like mobile phone automatic brightness. Darker, when it's dark, brighter when it's bright-ish. The Garmin auto brightness turns the backlight off when it's really bright around. Makes sense

[@klausbinn777]

The hazard warnings are a great feature. Used it on an audax a couple of weeks ago and genuinely useful in a couple of spots. The only worry I have living in the UK, though, is that the number of pothole warnings will soon begin to multiply exponentially now that 24.18 is on general release. Can see in a year’s time that I’ve turned off the alerts because they’re almost continuous. Maybe Garmin could make the alerts more granular, so the user can choose to only get certain hazards flashing up. Or, even better, just have an algorithm that says when a certain number of pothole warnings are present on a stretch of road, turn the surface type to gravel. The UK will then take over from the US and Australia as the world’s foremost gravel riding venue…😁

[@gplama]

Granular alerts - great idea!

[@gplama]

No doubt these updates make the x40 series more appealing. RE: Which is best: There's a ton of ways to carve up which bike computer is 'best' - the conclusion is there's no one 'best' that suits everyone. Garmin Edge units are without question unmatched when it comes to features and extensibility options (via ConnectIQ). Although all the bells (pun intended for the 1050) and whistles aren't for everyone. Wahoo have nailed the ease-of-use side of things which appeals to a wide spectrum of the market. Hammerhead/Karoo... well.. They've been laying very low lately in regard to updates/feature additions that we were all hoping to see roll out to take advantage of the new hardware on the K3.

I even had the unit completely stuck on 0% for the whole ride and during climbs, not sure what's going on. I contacted the customer support but they haven't been helpful so far.

Still trying to figure out how to kill off Virtual Partner after all these years. Anyone have any ideas?

I am finding the new road hazard alerts a bit late on my 1040S, meaning i am on top of or just past the hazard when the alert hits???? Anyone else seeing this?

[@gplama]

They’ll appear on the map screen at about 500m zoom and closer (iirc). Are the icons showing up late? Firmware 24.19 was released in beta yesterday. Maybe give that a shot. Also ensure your maps/everything is up to date.

[@danielcable5363]

@@gplama well the alert is showing up late. Maybe i need to change settings?

When will the next generation be released?

EDGE 550/850? I'd say first 1/4 next year, as a guess.

Since I updated the firmware yesterday my Edge 1040 refuses to connect to my Windows 11 PC. :-(

I had to update the app

I hope they finally "fix" how climb pro and the map is interacting. No map while having active navigation and force the map when no navigation is active is a - let say - an interesting decision. It would expect it to be the other way round. But even then: why not just make it a toggle option for users to decide?

[@andorsn]

Does that happen when you add a map widget to the ClimbPro screen? Or are you talking about ClimbPro automatically popping up, which can be disabled?

[@SillyMochi]

​@@andorsnhow do you add a map widget to the climb pro screen? There is no such option. That's exactly the issue. The map only shows on climb pro if you are NOT having a route/navigation loaded. It's completely dumb.

[@andorsn]

@@SillyMochi ah, you're right. TBH I only saw the screenshot in GPLama's screen setup video and assumed it was configurable. Garmin 🤷‍♂

[@Jerzj]

Segments still don’t work when navigating 👎 wahoo can make it happen, shame that Garmin can’t.
