  • The syncing in Garmin Explore fails at the stage of Waypoint sync. Can you guys confirm this ?

    edit: when the Saved Locations list on my F5+ is empty, then the syncing with Garmin Explore stacks on Waypoint sync stage. Then I saved a location on the watch and tried again. The syncing was ok but two copies of the saved location transferred into Garmin Explore Waypoints list. Then I deleted these waypoints in Garmin Explore and made a sync to check if the Saved Locations list on the watch get empty again. After the sync, the list was full of saved locations with strange names. I turned off the watch and turned it on again and the list was empty again.


    how did you add fenix as device?
  • Hi

    Im on app version 1.2
    Watch version 5.10

    The app works fine here.
    Just created a test course and it synced over to my watch.
  • The app indicated for me that only 66 and instinct was supported, but I pressed connect anyway and it connected.
  • I notice massive battery drain like 2% per hour with this latest beta!

    I'm not seeing any changes in battery consumption. Are you reporting one drop of 2%? Are you seeing ~50% drop in 24 hours? I'm not convinced the battery %age reporting is consistent. I've gone back to just looking at the gauge on the watch face. That seems more representative than the number; strange as that might seem.


  • Just performance a factory reset and now I'm at 0.3% /h , who knows what happened....

    Mine seems to have stopped syncing since this morning (even though the beta installed when released). Turning off Bluetooth to force a sync via WiFi results in the watch crashing @ "Searching for network"
  • After installation of this beta release sw, BT connection is fooling (with Samsun A3 2017). Still connect/reconnect. I have tried to remove device from GC and add again, but without any changes. I went back to 5,10 sw version, but still the same issue. With original installation of 5.10 I had no issue with. Any idea how to fix that?
  • My watch with 5.57b lost GPS signal at 13,58 km in my run today. (GPS loss has never happened before) I ran the road down and turned first left. Distance is correct, I'm running with Stryd footpod...

    Just wanted to say that I don't have any problems at all with 5.57 on my F5P.

    Will there be support for more alternative music services, such as yandex.music, for Russia?
