    There are many topics on elevation problem. With the FW 6.20 they kind of fixed it but not totally

    Is the Livetrack Share Course feature working for others? For me I cannot get it to work. I have "Share Course" enabled on the Edge. I can also see it enabled on GCM. I load a course for navigation and start Livetrack. All I'm seeing from the notification email "Watch my Live Activity" is the dot where I am and the blue line where I've been as is always the case. I don't see the purple course. Am I missing something?

    I did not tried to see how(if) it works with the Edge830, yet

    I'm having an issue hearing the 'All Clear' tone since the ambient noise is much higher when a car has just passed you.  My riding buddy has a Wahoo Bolt and I have no problem hearing his 'All Clear' tone.  I have filled out a form and submitted to Garmin as an improvement to either make the beep longer or increase the volume, or both.  At the very least I think there should be a volume level option.  The issue is compounded in the winter when I wear a skull cap that covers both ears.

    So far been unsuccessful to get the Show Course to actually display. I had been creating courses in Strava which transferred to Garmin, but I got the idea to create a course directly in GC and see how it worked. Still never saw the course route showing in the map. Any ideas where a course has to be created in order for it to show up? Any special criteria? Not much info out there yet.

    Same for me, I loaded up a course created on GC from  previous activity, send it to the device and then started the ride. Livetrack started automatically, but doesn't look any different to pre-6.22 Livetrack. No Livetrack 2.0 for us.
