Varia Vision Bug: Heading Data field not working after updating to firmware 3.3

Hello,

After updating the firmware on my Varia Vision to v3.3, the headings data field stopped showing normal directions such as N, NE, E, W, S, etc.
Now it show a number that does not even show the right degree, if that is what is supposed to do... very strange.

Also the new datafields (listed in the change log) don't show up in the varia vision setup menu on my edge 1000.
So I don't recommend updating to this firmware version, if no other changes were made.

Varia vision v3.3
Edge 1000 v12.00

Cheers.

    Those new data fields where added to support the integration with the Fenix 5. The Edge 1000 does not support them.

    Thank you for reaching out. We have reported the change in heading data field experience to our engineering teams.

    Thanks for the clarification. This can't all be due to HW constraints with the edge 1000.
    Looking at the list, there are several fields that would certainly be useful when bicycling and should be supported by newer edge models.
    "Vertical Dist to Dest" I would definately use, and hopefull an upcoming "vertical distance to course point"-field... for motivation/demotivation to those big climbs. ;)

    Thank you for speedy reply. Looking forward to the fix.
