It would be nice to have the Devices as a separate category and have the Sports & Fitness be general, device independent. Such as Running, Walking, Swimming, Triathlon, Golf, General Fitness, etc.

And the latest fob off statement from Garmin is:

We are aware that there are many older devices that are currently not accessible on the forums that users wish to post about.

We apologize for the lack of information so far and will update this message when a more firm timeline is available. Thank you for your patience in the meantime.
