Garmin-MatthewWhen is the new live track going to be added to the 530? Have it now on my F6X and works pretty well.

That would be nice, Livetrack has been pretty much rubbish since inception. Just 1 microsecond without cell tower coverage, and it stops.

Getting some really bad elevation issues on both this and 5.5. Loading a course from Strava into GC on the device is 1) unreliable and 2) totally messes up elevation data and shows something like 20k of elevation on a route with 3k. This makes ClimbPro useless because the elevation data is bad even though elevation tracking is fine after the ride is over. Any idea what this is?

Look at the ClimbPro thread - had the same question, answered here:

Look at my post on 7-Aug and the responses.

Great job, Garmin - yes, there might be problems, but again amazed by the amount of work that you're putting not only to fix things, but also to improve existing functionality!

Will test the ClimbPro in combination with Navigation instructions, hope it is solved now and will report back.

I can confirm that this fix worked for me (reported bug for v5.66):

- Fixed CIQ data field software update migration

I am definitely not showing this issue as fixed on the beta. Only three of my 15 starred Strava routes transferred over and their elevation data is still messed up. Are you experiencing this as well? I didn’t quite know how your workaround worked as well.

What exactly does that mean? Given there's a separate v2.90 GPS firmware update already available, will this beta bring in a newer GPS firmware update, that's not yet available as a regular update? Or are some GPS firmware updates happening outside that v2.90 release?

I don't see mention of the bug where map orientation keeps changing to North-up rather than track-up. Has this been addressed? In the following thread, it is noted by Garmin as something to address with a future update.

A little while after installing this beta, a GPS firmware/software was installed. I didn't get any promts other than it was installing. My unit shows V4.5 now.
