Fēnix 5X – 3.42 Beta Release BETA PULLED

Hello Fenix 5X users,

UPDATE: We have been made aware of an issue regarding navigation that has forced us to remove 3.42. If you are using 3.42, please backdate software to 3.30 and load 3.41 by following instructions in the link below. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused and a new version with this fix will be available in the near future.

We have new beta software ready for your upcoming adventures! Please read the 'notes' and 'installation instructions' in the 'Updates and Downloads' page found in the link below. We look forward to your feedback.

Is there a problem with the navigation feature on the 5x with the new fw? If I start a navigation to a saved location or a poi or to a around me destination (of course with gps fix) nothing happens?

Is it working for you?

I'm going to leave it on my 5x for now -- I don't want to lose all my settings and log data! If it starts annoying me enough (PLEASE bump the rev number when you fix this!) I'll do it, but for now I'm sticking on this one despite the now-known problem.
