    With the new firmware in the Garmin 830, it shows that my average moving speed was 10.5 mph when with the onld it showed 8 or so over many rides. It also reports that my max speed was 22 mph. There must be part of my body that doesn't hurt this morning
    but it is evident. Remember, this is after 2 months unable to ride.

    Garmin edge 830 last firmware update was 9.75 over two years ago, is a
    public 9.81 beta but even that’s over a year old and hasn’t moved to a general release.

    Gets time zone updates now and then. Uk is in summer time zone so has had a time zone update.

    In short you’re mistaken.

    I rode continuously in January Yesterday Garmin Express tells me there is an update which I download and it takes several minutes. The new update has features that the old one didn't have such as having moving averages and that feature kicks my speed
    average up on a slow recovery ride from my stroke 2.5 mph and - wait for it - I'm mistaken.

    Now perhaps you'd like to hazard a guess as to how I am mistaken?

    Let me say that the software revision remains at 9.81 but the software that is running in January did not tell me it required an update. And the average speed has changed substantally. So either something in January prevented Express from telling me to
    update my software. Or there has been a change that did not effect the version number. This THAT change is probably instituted by the programmer, that may have been overlooked by the people thyt now program the watches etc., in a different lanuage.

    Neither the stable build or beta have had any updates bar a time zone
    update few days ago.

    No new features have been added this is a you thing as ever.
