Overview
Garmin has announced Public Beta 31.23 for the Edge 550, Edge 850, and Edge 1050 cycling computers. At the time of publication, this release is in pre-rollout status, meaning the forum thread is live but the update has not yet started distributing to enrolled beta users.
The detailed changelog for 31.23 has not been published by Garmin yet. Based on the pattern of recent 31.xx releases, the changelog will likely appear once the rollout percentage increases from zero. We will update this article once Garmin posts the official change list.
