xx30 public beta program

It looks like that since 10 months no new beta has been released and the new topic and reply functions in that forum have ceased.

You're right in one way that it is 4 months and not 10.

I think you might be missing the x.79 release in the beta forum from 4 months back? With a few alphas and betas over the last 12 months, it doesn't look that dead to me.

The present xx40 series in the shops as a xx30 'replacement' normally is not a good motivation to support older versions to Garmin

Maybe there is no new idea how to improve the attempts to fix the sensor drops issue, what sub-cases behind the drops there are. Or just the usual lack of resource as an excuse…
