I've started a list of bugs, requests, fixes and workarounds that I will try to maintain. I say "try" because at this point in time I do not have a D2 Charlie so I am unable to contribute to the list personally nor can I confirm anything that is reported or listed by Garmin as fixed.

I've bolded anything that would generally consider to be a serious issue that impedes use of the watch or included functionality (ie. reboots versus display or other issues). Reply below with comments and I'll keep the list updated.

Outstanding issues / bugs:

[CONNEXT] Garmin Pilot does not receive the altitude from the watch
[WIDGETS] Altimeter widget ignores the widget configuration for display units of "feet" when general watch config is set to metric
[GPS] cannot receive a GPS fix within the flight deck of an Airbus A-320

Feature requests:

[WIDGETS] METAR widget only displays cloud coverage (sky) information when there is a measured ceiling but should display FEW and SCT when no ceiling is present

Fixed issues:

[CONNECT IQ] BehaviourDelegates does not function as expected when invoking onNextPage(), onPreviousPage(), etc -- fixed in 3.20
[WIDGETS] METAR widget doesn't properly display visibility values when less than 1 SM or 1 km -- fixed in 3.20
[WIDGETS] Altimeter widget doesn't allow O2 Alert altitude to be configured (O2 use regulations vary between countries) -- fixed in 3.10
[WIDGETS] METAR widget doesn't properly display a vertical visibility on either the METAR display or the TAF display -- fixed in 3.10
[APPS] Vertical speed not working in Fly app when the watch is set to GPS altitude -- fixed in 3.10

Old issues [could not be confirmed or appear to work as expected]:

none at this time

ciao,
even if not in the change log, I've notice that the Altimeter issue is solved and now the settings are reflected correctly (feet or meters).

in addition, the refresh time on the map is way faster compared with the old FW.

cheers.
