Change History
Changes made from version 4.90 to 5.00:
Added support for Connect IQ SDK 1.2.1.
Added Ascent and Descent elevation alerts (Settings > Apps > Alerts > Elevation).
Added support for 'repeating' sports in a multisport profile (Settings > Apps > Multi Sport Profile > Repeat). This is useful for events such as 'Swimrun'. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swimrun).
Added support for on device course creation (Navigation > Courses). New data fields such as next waypoint, distance to next waypoint, ETA to next waypoint, ETE to next waypoint etc. were introduced in conjunction with this feature.
Added new Hands and Background analog watch face options (requires Display firmware version 2.90).
Improved consistency and accuracy of altimeter auto calibration (performed during a GPS activity). Notes: GPS and manual calibration points will be used to determine the best overall calibration possible. A secondary step when acquiring a GPS fix at activity start will help denote a more accurate fix for altitude purposes (yellow to green ring indication). Settings > Sensors > Altimeter > Auto Cal. is now an On/Off setting as the 'Once' and 'Continuous' settings are no longer necessary. Use Settings > Sensors > Altimeter > Calibrate to calibrate the Altimeter to a known altitude.
Improved altimeter and barometer accuracy in watch mode (when not performing a GPS activity). Note: use Settings > Sensors > Altimeter > Calibrate or press START from the Altimeter widget to calibrate the Altimeter to a known altitude.
Improved vibration profiles to be differentiated based on alert type.
Improved reliability of 'Weather' widget on iOS.
Improved ability to detect time zone changes without a GPS fix (requires connection to Garmin Connect Mobile app and time set to 'Auto' on device, Settings > System > Time > Set Time).
Improved activity tracking step calculation accuracy for certain use cases.
Fixed potential issue with a Foot Pod sensor dropping out as a source for speed.
Fixed an issue where key presses would not work, if a low battery notification was received when the unit was locked.
Fixed potential issue with manual altimeter calibration during a GPS activity.
Fixed issue with Tempe sensor connectivity.
Fixed a potential issue with exiting the 'Find Phone' app.
Fixed a potential issue with storm alerts not working in certain use cases.
Fixed a potential issue with a Foot Pod sensor being incorrectly used as the source for distance accrual.
Fixed issue with storing a large number of saved locations.
