Got a firmware update today to version 26.18. What changed?

Quick ride this morning: found no improvements in grade calculation issue: still negative %'s at level riding.

For me it is not a good signal, if software releases are so frequent!

I avoid further updates until I read that the grade issue is fixed. Until this I use hgrade from IQ Store.

Did 26.18 not fix our 26.17 GPS connection issue?

I'm hoping it fixed the grade calculation issue I started noticing with 26.17. BTW, it's disappointing that Garmin doesn't have an easy to find page (or even a page) with all the firmware release notes.

mostly lacking any detail, mostly cryptic and could mean anything?

Yes, that's the case for me too. It's really annoying. When I go uphill, it sometimes shows negative values!
