    When using garmin express for settings i'd agree it's a pain to constantly clip/unclip the usb cable. I'd advice to use garmin connect mobile when changing settings as it's a lot quicker that way to try out all the possibilities.

    Generally i think Garmin makes very good devices but of course It's possible that there are issues.

    Garmin is working on a fix to no longer experience the gps drift you are seeing now, it's normal releasing this fix takes a bit of time as it has to be verified the fix works and the fix does not cause regression issues elsewhere.

    yes, Garmin has confirmed they are working on the fix in several threads, for example here https://forums.garmin.com/forum/developers/connect-iq/connect-iq-bug-reports/1428857-va3-f5-fw-bug-activityinfo-currentlocation-drifts-away-10s-of-km-per-day?p=1430857#post1430857

    With the holidays close I don't expect a fix in December, but I hope it'll be there in January.

    Hi Peter,
    This watch face is my favorite watch face. it's almost perfect for any information which I need, but if the temperature and cloud icon can switch place that will become wonderful. Because the description of cloud status is too long, it will block the data icon sometimes. I think now the cloud's place can shown today's highest and lowest temperature and now temperature just shown the cloud picture. That all information can perfect present in watch face.

    Thanks

    If you want to prevail the display of the date, then you can put on the option "override field 4" in the app settings and choose a field to display there instead of the weather condition.
    The current weather provider unfortunately does not provide the ability to fetch today's low and high temp.

    Thanks for your information. Now, it can show the cloud and data icon at the same time, but I personally would prefer the big cloud icon and small temperature indication.

    There seems to be an issue with the lengths of the weather text. The space above the time is completely filled by the weather icon and text “light intensity shower rain’. So now the day and date are not displayed anymore? Also the city (under the temperature) is displaying just the text “Gemeente”. I think this was displaying just ‘Horst’ before (place where I live The Netherlands).

    Both the city and the weather condition are coming from the weather provider which are indeed longer with the new weather provider (openweathermap), it might be an option if I store the weather condition texts in the watch face itself, but I'm not sure if I have sufficient memory left for that. I'll add it to my to do to check it.

    The issue with the weather city is that it seems to retrieve the name of the ‘gemeente’ instead of the name of the city/place I live in. It now displays ‘Gemeente Ho’, with only h half an ‘o’. I live in the ‘gemeente’ ‘Gemeente Horst aan de Maas’, but the place I live in is ‘Horst’.
