Edge Owners : New Firmware

Notices
Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Edge Owners : New Firmware

Changes made from version 2.70 to 2.80:

* Improve accuracy of vertical speed and grade.
* Add feature to preview course map and course profile.
* Allow user to select course specific fields on the top half of the course timer page.
* Fix problem where today's scheduled workouts would not display if the local date was different than the UTC date.
* Fix problem where track log would not display in history if the timer was started without a GPS fix.
Download link for the 305.

Should have taken my own advice. Hit update, Windows bluescreens and crashes.

Tried it, but the update failed. Now it isn't recognized by my pc when I plug it in
It's still version 2.4 here. I'll mess around with it I guess...

edit: works after reinstalling usb driver. I also found a gps chipset update to 2.7 and did that afterwards.

Managed to get it back on my laptop. Nice to see the Garmin stuff is Vista compatible.. too bad SportTracks won't load on Vista.

I would recommend this upgrade, as the grade calculations did seem smoother. Much better than before, IMHO.
