They have stopped doing updates to the x30 devices. I watched a GPLlama Garmin update video and he stated Garmin told him that only critical updates will be pushed. Given the x40 series were released over two years ago, that's good.

@@jamesmckenzie3532only one year ago, not two. But your point still stands, it’s a superseded device that they’re still supporting with security and other major fixes.

​@@jamesmckenzie3532 "that's good" for the environment or for their pockets? x30 series are capable devices. I would have rather continued using them on subscription so they keep updating instead of a new hardware, which is almost identical apart from software features. They still look and feel like mobile phones in 90s. My upgrade to 540 was really due to sensor drop issues of 830, which to me is critical, to them maybe not. A friend has an older fenix and told me Garmin stopped syncing his data because they stopped all support, not like they stopped updating the software. It's not sustainable to buy a new device every 4 years. They're the one forcing it to users by making the old devices more obsolete than necessary.

Has it really been that long since the x40s were launched? Time really does fly 😂😂

@@87togabito I got my nicked bike back and asked about waiting until the 840 came out. I should have as it was only a couple of weeks later.

You can also see it as dark red color line for speeding vehicles

I can't on the 1030 Plus either. The option Music Control doesn't show

true, doesn't work on the x30 series

Checked, not working on 830.

This was the one that got me excited... Followed the instructions and said "shit"

@@theogohioan1633 same shit for me😂

flufup of the week!!!

Why? It's a perfectly normal expression

if you dont even cross swords with your mates before work then youre missing out

I have the same issue with my 1030 Plus

Same with my 1030

Nah! This is my complaint. I am aware that Garmin wants to make money and attach hardware to software. I am willing to pay! 10-15 usd to unlock these features on my older gen devices. If any of Wild ones read this, please help. 😢 Because else the device is working totally fine. I'm not going to upgrade my Garmin 1030 plus until it just won't work anymore or I crash. I think it would be a good faith move for Garmin and maybe they come out on the other end with a little profit or at least 0. I could imagine a lot of people with 530/830s wanting these non-hardware specific features

No it is not available, 530 has no touch screen so that doesn't work

I was kinda excited to have the music feature on my 530 but no dice unfortunately.

yes have just discovered the same, which is a shame

make your own on garmin connect. Send to device and it notify you.

Same.

Because it’s not on the 830 🙃

too poor

@@MackBXIII😂😂

The reason is they are purposefully locking new features to newer (read: more expensive) so you will spend money to get them. The shareholders constantly demand higher revenue. That's capitalism for ya

They don’t sell the old ones so it would only cost them money. You were happy with the features when you bought it, so….

Quicker to get your phone out than work out how to control music with the 540 buttons! I only ever use it to see what song I’m on.

Why? You can use it indoors. It’s not illegal to have the controls

Not a sponsor

Yeah, it's a thing with garmin... while following a course you will get 0 live segments pop up. You have to not be following a route and the segments should pop up if you have the settings to do so turned on. Also a tip, in strava you can select few segments and "star" them to make sure they will pop up on the garmin (another thing is, you will only get live segments that are "uphill" meaning gradient of over 0.1% if it's downhill, it doesn't show it. I was disappointed about that too. Hopefully this helped to clarify things💪

@@giordanohaas8876100% correct.

Don't hold your breath

This! Much handier.

Doesn't work on my 1030 plus
