  • I did a factory reset on 8.02 last week in hope to fix this. Sadly this did not change anything regarding the elevation data in the fit files.

    I also reached out to [email protected] two times but never get a response regarding this issue. I'm fully aware of the fact that I am testing a beta release here. But I expect that I would get at least a short ACK when I report an issues. Isn't this the idea behind beta software testing Wink

    Next step would be to downgrade to 8.01 and see if this fixes the problem. But I would like to avoid setting up the watch again and again.

  • Still have a non working Actiface - anyone else got tjis problem?

  • Hi,

    I had a problem during Activity with Navigation to the Point with Track Back or by Route (mountain path). There was an error message "Not enough memory".
