New version 26.11. changelog

who knows, but it is true that updates come more often, they come out at the same time as updates to 540/840/1040 and under the same number, but there is a limitation only to the explore 2 functions

Do you have any problems with 26.17?

I haven't had a chance to try it yet.

I'm signed up for the beta, but I see that they're releasing it as an official release and I confirm the changes you're writing about.

It's not official unless they announce it somewhere. Until then it's still - according to my theory - an accidental release, because someone checked the wrong checkbox in some form and nobody in Garmin knows that this is happening...

Nothing out of the ordinary.

I went for a 30 km course yesterday with 26.17, using the loop-to-start course creator feature. It forgot to warn me about upcoming turns a few times, resulting in several 'off course' alerts (or maybe we just disagree about what makes a turn worth mentioning) and the course it created had me do a U-turn halfway through a street (I checked afterwards and that wasn't a mistake on my part, the course actually has a U-turn for no reason).

But in my experience, this isn't specific to this new mysterious firmware.
