Updated Device List?

The compatible devices page on the developer.garmin.com page hasn't been updated in a long time. Is there an updated list somewhere that shows Connect 3.0 and Connect 3.1 compatability?

This has needed an update for quite a while--I actually started to clean this up last week and hadn't quite gotten the task wrapped up. I should be able to finish it this week.

2.70 is the main FW version, Hit "down" a few times in about and you'll see the CIQ version.

The only devices with production FW and 3,1,0 CIQ right now is the 2.90 FW on the 645. The 8.02…

What's the status on this Brandon.ConnectIQ?

The SDK itself indicates what version of CIQ is on a specific device (or the minimum at least) One thing that may be a bit confusing is the SDK version and VM version (the part of CIQ on the device itself) don't need to match, and the most recent SDK will build for any device, regardless of what version of CIQ it's running,

The SDK is a good source for the info. Let's say you want to check out the va-hr. When you run an app for that target in the sim, you'll see it's got a target SDK of 2.4 (you can see this in run configuration in eclipse). So, if you try to use a 3.x function, the sim will throw an error. The SDK also will tell you all possible target devices,

The easiest way to get this info is with eclipse. as when you use, say, the 3.0.12 SDK, you can use "Configure App" to do things like add target devices to manifest.xml, and when you set up a run config for a device and see the target SDK. If you really don't want to use eclipse, the info in in the sdk in bin/devices.xml but harder to find.

With 3.1, it's in beta, and for some devices, you can set a target SDK of 3.1 (the f5+ is the one that comes to mind), but at the same time, since it's a beta SDK, you can't build a .iq file and upload to the store. You can only use 3.1 functions in the sim or with a sideload to a device with a 3.1.x VM. When 3.1 is released, not all devices that will get 3.1 will have it yet, especially when you consider APAC (Asian Pacific) vs ROW (Rest of World) versions. APAC Fw is usually weeks or more behind ROW devices.
