Where do i find this folder in windows 10 --> Place the gupdate.gcd file found in the System_v*** folder in the\GARMIN directory .

I don't find it in root, program files (x86) or Program data with Garmin express installed.

Or this one--> \GARMIN\REMOTESW

Those directories are on the watch. If you connect your watch to your pc it should show up as a drive under Computer. If you're still uncertain about anything please ask.

Hey are you looking at your data on the web version of Garmin Connect or on your phone? On my phone, dropouts are not so obvious but on the web version you can see big gaps on power, pace etc.

I'm not getting any drops via exercise in any of the places (watch,GCM,Web). I had (1) place in my last run where I had stopped at a major road for a bit and the watch auto-paused and my HR dropped off. It dropped like a weight and the watch vibrated once I started moving again stating the External HR strap connected, which led me to believe that I lost data. There was no break in data so I can't tell you if the strap was disconnect and the OHRM picked up seamlessly or if it never DC'ed and the graphic was wrong.

Where I am getting gaps now is in the all-day tracking and that's on the watch, on the app and on the website. That wasn't happening before. I'm not sure if again this is just a graphical hiccup (but not a recording one) or for some reason in 3.30 it now gets lost for a bit and can't make heads or tails of my HR. I use Gear Min as my watchface and funny enough If I glance at my wrist, but not turn it to me and the BT is disconnected it will be greyed-out; but if I do a complete wrist gesture turn (with the backlight turning on), BT appears to magically connect? I've had the app open when seeing it as DC'ed on the watch and the app is connected to the watch, which leads me to believe maybe some of these issues are just superficial graphical hiccups? Like the watch can't keep up with GCM app watch faces (or the developers of these apps are not fully utilizing the watch). I mean, I have HR on the watch face and it is NEVER what the HR widget is reporting, not even close.
