Just my two cents

One of the main reasons I upgraded from an old garmin to an oregon 700 was useful connectivity. Two simple tasks are the most important ones to me and every other outdoor gps user I know:1. Get your activity archived easils, which the garmin does. 2. Get your planned tours (tracks) as easy as possible into that garmin.

For the Oregon, i saw it doesn't support track import viw GC, which is strange but ok, because gimport app should do the job...after buying I got the impressikn, garmin broke the connection intentionally to those extremely helpful apps. Please fix it!

If you don't bring a fix, I might switch to wahoo with more reasonable Connectivity and don't come back. My outdoor mates have similar issues..

Thanks for your input. We are aware of the issues with connectivity. You can read more specifics on the issue here: https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/i/bug-reports/connect-version-4-20-broke-local-http-access?CommentSortBy=CreatedDate&CommentSortOrder=Descending.

As we say in that post, we do have a fix that should be released to GCM in an upcoming patch. If that is the issue that is in fact causing the issues with gimporter, then I would expect gimporter's issues to be resolved at that time. Since gimporter is not a Garmin app I cannot guarantee that this will fix it, but it is likely that it will.

Thanks for your response. I am happy to see that you are actually working on it. For the moment the downgrade to 4.19 works fine to me. So my anger decreases a bit ;) why just not add the oregon to the Garmin explore app compatibility list? This would be the app matching its 'outdoor' class and allowing to transfer tracks or routes..

Is there a reason for that?
