I am at 12.00 only and my ANT/BLE/BT is 6.06 so I don't think thats a new one.

Gracias. el archivo 2.70 gps va igual que el 2.60, en un fenix 5s plus, en 10km tiene un error de 130 metros comparándolo con un garmin 920xt y un 735xt, es lo peor del reloj, el gps.

So it looks like there is also a ANT_BLE_BT_v6.06 and GPS_v2.70 update included as well. Not in the notes.

Do you have noticed this similar behaviour using glonass or galileo? Yesterday I went for a 5km run and the traces was more precise with 2.70 gps firmware and glonass. Next run I will try with galileo. Saludos desde España ;)

Hola, solo he probado con gps, con versiones anteriores con glonass o galileo me daba peor resultado. Lo suelo compaginar con un 920xt y 735xt y siempre mide más, también lo he probado en carreras homologadas y lo mismo cada 10km sobre 130 metros más que los otros relojes, saludos desde Asturias.

Unfortunately, the beta produced over 50% more battery than the 12.0 SW
