Garmin is rolling out anew beta updateto the Edge Explore 2 GPS Bike Computer. This is the first public release in the 25.xx testing cycle, despite it being version 25.19. The previous software, version 24.20, brought a wide range of features and improvements to the product, including Garmin Share and hazards support.
Beta version 25.19 is a relatively minor update. The change log states that the Edge Explore 2 now supports camera control. The release notes also indicate that the update brings bug fixes, though Garmin has not listed these changes. As with recent updates for other models like theEdge 540andEdge 1050bike computers, this is a back-to-back update. Users must first install version 24.54, which allows the Edge Explore 2 to use MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) when transferring files between the device and a computer. After the installation is complete, the bike computer will reboot.
Once this has finished, you can proceed with the download of update version 25.19. According to a Garmin team member, this beta update has already reached at least 50% of eligible users. TheGarmin Edge Explore 2 is currently available for $269 at Amazon.
