I finally started riding again March 30 and since then have gotten in 120
miles. 20 of those miles were not recorded on the Garmin which had
something to so with the software update.
 
In any case, that updatehad some funny actions. I did not turn on the
fall warning which was supposed to send an emergency message out through
your phone. But it never-the-less was operating from the strong
vibrations from the disc brakes. Yesterday I used the rim brake DeRosa
Merac and had no such messages. It did record the stop recording message
when I would come to a stop.
 
With two months off of the bike my legs are getting really tired from
every ride. And my average speed is back up to 11 mph from the 8 it had
dropped to after the last software update.
 
I know Roger doesn't think that the software is being updated and he is
quite correct that the software version number has not changed, but I
have noted that the operation of the Gatmin 830 has changed and version
numbers usually don't changer automatically (though I think that Microsoft Windows does.)

 
I have the same device so im well aware of any updates that come out, it’s
only had date updates ie time zones.
 
Its system is still on 9.75 unless one is in the Beta program which seems
unwise frankly! And has no updates for two years or so.
 
It’s Maps and Trailforks are 2024.20 so updates of the maps and trails last
year.
 
Considering that the 850/550 is likely in the next year or so, the idea
that they are still changing the interface on the xx30 generation when the
xx40 generation is out, the 830 has some love due to being “old” and stable
if one can find one being sold, they aren’t sold by Garmin any more though
where until recently though the 130 does still remain.
 
In short you’re confused and just plain wrong about this.

Did tommy really just claim that garmin is updating the firmware without
changing the the version?
 

Yip! And having the same model the only difference will be he will have
North America regions on the maps.

The Garmin 830 that is, which hasn’t had an update in quite a while and is
no no longer sold though does get date zone and map updates every year or
so.
