Hello all - Long time Fenix user, first time poster - This is my first real problem, the issue being, it really annoyed me!
So yesterday I was taking part in the Belfast Fondo 2017 a 174km cycle event and wanted to let my wife and a few friends keep track of where I was on the course so decided to use LiveTrack paired with my Fenix 3.
All started well, bluetooth connection made, phone and watch had signal and battery and so a LiveTrack session was started which people reported to me was working fine. About 40-50km in to the ride however I stopped for some food, looked down to pause my activity only to find that the watch had been sent an update and was asking if I wanted to install it - I said no straight away but it was too late and my activity (and therefore the LiveTrack session) had already ended and I had lost nearly 10-15kms of the ride as it later turned out :-( To say I was annoyed was an understatement.
Afraid of this happening again, I forewent LiveTrack and managed to track the remainder of my ride without issue.
My question I guess is, has anyone ever noticed this before or does anyone know of a way to be connected via bluetooth to a Fenix and not allow updates to try and install? An official answer from Garmin would be appreciated.
Lastly, another 1 for Garmin. Why is LiveTrack based on a phone connection (bluetooth and signal) rather than just using the GPS chip already in the device to allow tracking from an external source? Surely to allow this cannot take too much coding.
A rather annoyed Fenix user,
Dave B :-(
