Livetrack icon

Hi,

till version FW 8, there was the livetrack icon (eye) while starting an activity, with all the others : Tempe, external HR, footpod.
It was useful to ensure that livetrack was ongoing, when auto livetrack was set up.

Any idea why this icon disappeared since months now ?

Ive just tested it...I manually started live track and I have the "eye"icon displayed on my watch running beta 10.55.
Hovever.... If I try auto.... as you say there is no icon displayed.
Looks like you must start it manually for the icon to appear on my software version.
I guess you could send also yourself an invitation to view the activity on your own phone...as you will get an email confirmation of live track autostart...

Ok, I got it now !
I remember now that Auto Livetrack was not working when the F5X was launched, so I used manual livetrack, with the eye icon.
And I never got the icon while switching to auto Livetrack.
I'll issue a proposal to Garmin beta team, because I don't understand why icon could not be there with Auto Livetrack.

Thanks Sam for your investigation.

Thanks valentin.d.
It would make sense to have it displayed as you say...an oversight maybe? :--)

I got an answer from Garmin beta team, saying they would take the idea into account. Let’s see ...
