4.10 Contacts Sync

Hi folks,

I've just downloaded the new 4.10 firmware for the Garmin 66i (thanks Garmin). One of the features that I have been looking forward to gaining from the firmware is the contacts folder.

After installing FW4.0 I can see the contacts folder, but I can't get it to sync with the contacts in the Explore website. I sure hope that Garmin don't expect us to fill our contact b book manually on the unit.

Any help appreciated.

Unfortunately, the Explore app is a different beast. Now that the firmware on the device supports contacts, I would guess that a future release of the app will support sync. Watch for an available update in your app store.

CandiedGold_NZ Hit updates in your AppStore. The IOS app got update this morning in the NZ store and will now sync contacts. You’ll get duplicates initially but clean out the 66i contacts and then you can recreate them using your phones address book. Seems to be working nicely for me.

You find the contacts in the Account tab

Thanks guys for the feedback - IceBear you were right. I checked for App Updates on iOS this morning g and the new Explore App solves this problem. A great new feature!
