I have tried several times to turn off the weather alerts through the Garmin Connect iOS app by selecting the Edge 530 > "General" settings and moving the slider on "Weather Alerts" to the off position (or More > Garmin Devices > Edge 530 > General). After syncing everything appears to have worked but the slider always ends up back in the on position the next time I connect to the device. This seems to be the case for the "Weather" slider as well, the one which should turn off not only the alerts, but any weather info on the Edge device. Am I missing something here?
In general, the Edge 530 seems to work well enough but any time I need to launch the Garmin Connect app -> trouble. Syncing settings fails about 1 out 3 times (stuck sync, have to hard close app). Impressive ability to drain my phones battery when running (iPhone 6s, current iOS), I can watch the % tick of by the second, phone gets very hot (Ron Burgundy - I'm not even mad, that's amazing). Tried deleting and reinstalling the app, seemingly every combination of power cycling, deleting the device and re-establishing pairing. Nothing seems to work.
Lots of headaches just to try to stop the Edge from (loudly) warning me about several flood warnings in the area every time it gets near my phone.
