Problems with Windfield IQ app and Segments
on August 8, 2024
Posted by: Desertdoug
I have owned pretty well every high end Garmin computer over the last 15 years or so, and I find the 1050 a little “So So”.
I had the Connect IQ app Windfield on my Garmin 1040, and it worked well. When I configured the 1050, the Windfield app has NEVER worked. I have had several emails with the developer, and he keeps telling me I need a Firmware upgrade on the 1050. I have looked in the Connect IQ app on my phone, and there is a link to upgrade the firmware, but it is corrupt and goes no where.
Live Segments seems to be Hit or Miss, sometimes they work and sometimes not. The Segments Widget rarely works and only seems to show segments after I get home and connect the Garmin to the computer to download and charge.
Other than that, everything else works great.

The screen is gorgeous and the size , readability and accuracy is the best out there. All the new options are amazing. Garmin made it again.

Display is the real killer feature!. Battery life is very good.
I don't think you will be disappointed in its purchase.

Nice unit but disappointed in brightness

I bought because I wanted the brighter screen. Initially I could not read it in direct sunlight. Garmin support had me download an update which helped. It IS readable in sunlight now, but still not as good as the 1040 or 1030+. Much better in the shade.

Love it

Switched from 1030 to the 1050…and love it. It doesn’t do anything my 1030 did..,however, the screen is so bright and snappy processing is very noticeable. It feel so solid in your hand and the WiFi and blutooth is much more reliable.
I am a little older so I could not hear my 1030 beep when my Varia went off. The 1050 has a speaker and I am so thankful since I can hear those alarms so much better. I have even had to turn the volume down!
Some features like Apple Pay..,is a little silly.

It is expensive but that is just the way it is.
I hoped that it would make me faster…but it did not help any with that issue.
