[Solved - Only with Garmin Explore App] Connect and Reference point.

Hello,
Is it possible to set reference point in connect and then sync to instinct 2x?
It is a little weird to set it from watch.
Thank you.

The reference point app of the 2x has had a bug for a long time:

Thank you for the pin. I was aware of the bug but i gave the watch to a friend who used it yesterday and he was happy with the app. Went for hiking and it didn't freeze and asked me if he can set a point in xonnect and then sync it.

I had never tried the app before.

So I doubt that you can set a reference point in the Connect app. But I've never tried it.

What is the current FW version of the watch?

Not in Connect, but he can add a Location in the Garmin Explore app. And Locations can be used as reference points.

Wasn't aware of the Explore app.

I installed the app and works fine. The 1st time i set points in exlore app after the sync, i had to sync also with connect.
