4.61 Change Log Notes:

Fixed several bugs found within the new music player.
Fixed an issue where the user could not start navigating a recent activity from the App options menu.
The attached GPS FW (2.23) should improve pace accuracy for running/walking activities and track performance for open water swimming activities.

Our public beta users are encouraged to load the new GPS firmware and use it for their next activities. If there are any activities where the GPS performance did not improve, we would like to see them. This also includes if comparing to previous activities. To send data to us for evaluation, please include the following in an email to [EMAIL="[email protected]"][email protected][/EMAIL]:

FIT file(s) from Garmin\Activity folder

GarminDevice.XML from the Garmin folder

Following these instructions will ensure your email and files are delivered and sorted correctly. Lastly, you will not get an email reply unless we need more information from you, but rest assured, the data sent will be evaluated.

Just an update to this date issue. It appears to be only effecting third party watch faces (on my watch at least) where they are tracking GMT for date and not my local time (AEST). I have deleted the gpsmaptz.img file (timezone file) and allowed Garmin connect to re-download a new copy. I have then sync'd the time again via gps but no change.

In summary, my date on third party watch faces only changes at 10am local AEST/ midnight GMT.

TheOtherPhil I'm seeing the exact same thing. Built-in watch faces show the correct date, Connect IQ ones show the incorrect date, but correct time. Have you reported the issue to the beta email?

Yes, I have reported it but the more reports, the better.
