Garmin is gearing up to provide a new quarterly update for its bike computer. As of now, the company has not announced when v11.17 will be accessible for the Edge 1050, which is currently priced at $699.99 on Amazon. However, users who have signed up for Garmin's Beta Program can already test it out.
Major Changes Expected
It appears that v11.17 will be a significant upgrade for the Edge 1050, which was launched in June. Although, it’s worth mentioning that many fixes in Public Beta 11.17 are aimed at correcting bugs that were present in Stable Version 10.19 released in September. Specifically, Garmin has implemented five bug fixes targeting issues with Garmin Coach and GroupRide.
Fixing Connectivity Issues
Additionally, Public Beta 11.17 is reported to fix problems that could arise when connecting with the inReach Messenger Plus, as well as errors in map track-lines and issues with smartphone connectivity. The new update should also rectify navigation errors, such as mismatched directions and distances, along with a faulty elapsed timer that could happen when pausing an activity.
More Improvements Included
Other bug fixes in this update include addressing gaps in recorded messages within activity files and incorrect entries for recovery heart rates that stopped Garmin Connect from showing data accurately. Furthermore, v11.17 aims to stop the Edge 1050 from entering Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) mode when it is off but a bike alarm remains active. To top it all off, Garmin has included some new features in this update, which you can review in the complete changelog listed below:
