Garmin continues its rapid software testing, rolling out beta update 31.72 for its previous-generation performance cycling units. The new release arrives just five days after beta version 31.71 and covers the Edge 1040, Edge 840, and Edge 540 series.
Under-the-Hood Fixes Target Overall Stability
- Improved device stability.
Unlike feature-heavy software releases, version 31.72 is focused strictly on system maintenance. The update brings targeted stability improvements designed to address underlying software glitches, lower the chance of device crashes, and keep the head units operating reliably during rides.
How to Check for the Update
Riders currently enrolled in the Garmin Public Beta Program can download the new patch wirelessly over Wi-Fi.
To pull the software update directly to your device, make sure your Edge computer is connected to a local Wi-Fi network. From the home screen, open the Main Menu, scroll down and select System, tap About, and then choose Check For Updates.
