Where are the release notes of Software version 4.80? Just like with 4.70 Express shows the update but no release notes.
Do we have to wait again until roll out is 100%?

Much like "you must first pass the bill before you can find out what's in it", Garmin wants their customers completely in the dark until after most, if not all have installed the update blindly.
I do not understand the logic behind this, it didn't used to be this way.
Indeed! I find it very strange as well because this is so unlike how they manage their other products
These are released in a phased roll-out. The change logs are not posted until we hit 100% rollout.
What is the rationale behind this policy if I may ask?
For other Garmin products (cycling, wearables) the change logs are posted right when the update is released, not after 100% roll-out.
Also with the number of issues currently present on 67 series devices (I reported 4 alone to support) it would make sense to provide info on updates to gather feedback as soon as possible.
Anyway I guess I just don’t understand why GPSMAP 67 series updates are handled so differently…
We always wait for the 100% rollout to make sure it completes successfully before posting it.
Do you mean for all Garmin (consumer) devices or just for GPSMAP 67 series devices?
I mean for at least all of the inReach devices listed here in forums. It is possible there is another section that may do it differently.
Ok understood, thank you.
One last question, though, should the release notes show up in Garmin Express before 100% roll out? Because so far both 4.70 and 4.80 were offered in Garmin Express without release notes.
