The whole e-bike thing is actually really simple (also, it's already in many Garmin devices btw). For example, I have an e-bike, an e-cargo bike specifically. The very specific reason the profile is useful…

Installed without any pb. I will test tomorrow with a run.
I have rapidly try the new adventure race, gps seems work and record during activity (certainly to view the gps trace after the race on GC), but its impossible to personnalize data fields, and of course view GPS data, or map. Great add if you are a "good et honesty racer" ;-)

PulseOx still doesn't work

After the update to 18.77 the clock shows the following text when booting: Content expired Update downloads for further offline use.
Does anybody else have this?

Is it a standard Garmin Clock face or a ConnectIQ one? Have you tried a different watch face? I switched to the standard one when I was having battery issues and haven’t seen that message.

Adventure race mode!!?? Are you serious? "yes I know my watch is a GPS device but I wont be using the GPS you have my word"

"Seems reasonable to me. Oh you've also dropped your good luck vial of EPO on the floor. Be sure to pick it up"
