What's changed in the latest Oregon 700 and GPSMAP firmware?

Hi,

Getting a series of 1 star reviews from these devices saying the App was great, but now doesn't work. They are indicating the activity doesn't start, so it sits waiting.

Any idea?

Cheers

Chris

Sorry, forgot to say, still works a treat in the Simulator for both devices.

What's not working? I dusted off my Oregon 700, and it had 5.30 FW from months ago, and there was no update available in Garmin Express. I checked out some of my apps and they run fine.

BTW, it's got CIQ 3.0.8.

Are you trying to use something that's 3.1 or 3.2?

Thanks jim_m_58. It appears that the activity isn’t starting, as the Data Field, is remaining stuck. I’ve not changed recently, so it must come from the firmware update.

With the oregon, the FW hasn't been updated in 6, maybe 12 months. I'll try one of my DFs later on, but widgets and device apps run fine.

I have no issue with data fields on the Oregon 700. What's one of yours that has an issue? Are these new users that don't know how to start an activity? (swipe up from the bottom and there's a start button.)

It’s hElevGrade. I did ask if the user had started the activity, to a rather sarcastic response. I haven’t changed the Data Field.

Lots of people have been getting a Garmin device for the first time, and may not understand every thing. I was just contacted for one of my apps, where the user was in the basement of a stone building and was having a problem getting a GPS lock. You just have to be kind!

Could you provide a link to the app? I looked at a list of all your apps and I'm not sure specifically which one

Thanks jim_m_58. The link is Elevation and Gradient Graph [hElevGrade] | Garmin Connect IQ
