Is firmware 6.04 really available? (Running 5.09, can't find 6.04)

Hi! I've been annoyed by the slow loading speeds of the Komoot app (takes 30+ seconds to change page), aswell as (almost) perpetual phone syncing so I looked around for a FW upgrade. I'm on 5.09 and this post states that 6.04 is available.

However, I can't find it in either the Connect IQ phone app nor the Garmin Express Mac app. Contacted the Swedish support, and they said that 5.09 is the latest according to their "internal systems", even after I sent the link above.

Anyone running 6.04? Is it perhaps only rolled out in the US or something like that? Anyone know of a way to force an update or do a manual install?

I have 6.04 in uk. I don’t use Garmin Express though, just updated via the Connect app

How did you manage to do that please? I can't find any way to force the update in the Connect app settings

Thanks for the replies everyone. Seems to differ all across Europe and even in the same countries. Got an answer on a Swedish forum where a user was running 6.04 so it just seems really random. I'm guessing another update will roll out in a while so I don't think I'll dig further until that one fails to install too, but an answer from a Garmin representative would've been nice.

I don’t think you can force it but when the edge is connected to GC, if you go to more, then Garmin devices you will see the edge connected and after a bit instead of saying connected it will say Uploading System Software or something like that. It takes forever!
