How do I get GPS 2.3?

My Fenix 5 says I have GPS 4.40 on the About screen, and I need 2.3 to get Gallileo? I don't have a GPS+Gallileo option, only have Normal (GPS only), GPS+GLONASS and UltraTrac.

You need to be running FW 11.0 (not available for another few weeks for APAC watches).

The process for 2.3 is detailed at https://forums.garmin.com/forum/on-the-trail/wrist-worn/fenix-5-5s/1412016-fw11-0-gps-update?p=1412940#post1412940

Note that there is a delay of 15-20 minutes AFTER installing FW 11.0 for the GPS update to then come through.

I already had FW 11.00 installed when I wrote the post! It has now been over 2 weeks and I still haven't gotten the GPS 2.3 update! Using Garmin Connect Mobile and have a 100 MBit Wifi Connection. Syncing every day, mobile and watch always on 24/7. Garmin Connect Mobile is on the exclude from power saving (Stamina) list on my phone. So can someone give me a definite answer:

IS IT or IS IT NOT possible to get the GPS update by only using GARMIN CONNECT MOBILE? If yes, HOW?????? Or do I HAVE TO use a PC?

I'd STRONGLY SUGGEST reading the process detailed in the link earlier in this thread. This is direct from a Garmin administrator, and indicates that update via GCM is possible. It also suggests to contact Garmin Support if you are having trouble.

RTFM.
