Well...

-Firmware V3.0 issued in May broke my Garmin HRM strap's pairing. That is right. Garmin's own software update broke their own HRM straps. GREAT JOB GARMIN!
-I come to a particular 3-way T-intersection of country roads from the East, my Edge 1000 will full power off completely. Only that intersection and only from the East.
-2 weeks ago I got prompted to install firmware update v2.50 on my device that was already running v5.0
-Hangouts notifications for SMS don't work right...but at least I don't use iPhone as iOS paring has been broken for most people since launch 18 months ago.

Segments as implemented is bug prone and very limited...and how they implemented it is moronic and prone to breakage....and odds are Garmin being Garmin they will never fix it.

Hopefully the Edge 1000 is my last Garmin (305->705->1000), I'm tired of this ****. Hopefully phones will be equal replacements soonerish.
