  • I’m not sure if the following is a bug related to 5.58b but here it is...
    I transfered a saved course from GC to F5+ and while the distance is correct, the elevation profile is different in ascent metrics. On the F5+ the ascending meters are 1000+ more. I know that for this course, GC has the correct elevation. ciq.forums.garmin.com/.../1426438.jpg
  • There is also same bug that i'm reporting since months about elevation profile in navigation activity:

    even if track continues to raise since destination, watch treats the track as round trip or something similar.... here you are correct elevation profile:

    My watch doesn't vibrate for notifications anymore after upgrade to 5.58. "Vibration" or "Tone and Vibration" doesn't make a difference - no vibration. Tone works fine.

    EDIT: It seems I somehow toggled the "Vibration" master switch in Settings --> System --> Sound. Turned it back on and now everything is fine again.

    Vibrate working on mine.

    Early days, no other comments yet!
  • Can anyone comment on the "Music Experience Improvements", I don't do beta testing but I've noticed that the last 3 beta versions have included this item which is welcomed because v5.10 completely ruined a working music experience in my opinion, making it more cumbersome to interact with by hiding the controls into yet another menu (and adding even more confusing menus), and removing the ability to automatically switch between Phone Music Control and Watch Stored Music which it used to do before 5.10.

    Has any of this been fixed or I'm just wishfully waiting for an update that won't do anything for me? thank you.
  • I also confirm that the sync with Garmin Explore, still fails in Waypoint Syncing stage.ciq.forums.garmin.com/.../1426785.jpg

    I agree, those changes were a clear regression.

    Don't hold your breath. To be honest, as much as the initial music changes did seem odd, with the limited buttons, the new interface is so much better for doing two things you almost always want to do - play/pause, next track - without having to look at the screen. It is a touch more complicated to access the other parts but that feels a reasonable sacrifice.

    My experience with music is pretty bad with 5.58, every time i start it has lags and skips (sometimes about 20 secs with no music), then suddenly it stabilizes.

    This is wrost with running activity, don'w know why...

    Is this not related to your headphones and their BT connection?
