Data Screen on Fenix 5

Anyone know how to edit data screens that show on the Vision when connected to Fenix 5?
  • What software version do you have on both products?
    I think 3.30 is the latest for the HMD (Varia Vision) as well as the Fenix 5x.

    You no what, I did a SW upload when I got the toy, two days ago but I did notice that it powers up with V2.6 and you are right, the latest is 3.3. Let me try to update. Thanks very much. My f5x is at 3.3. I shall report back :)
  • I was very hopeful, unfortunately I still dont get the pop ups for tbt. I updated from 2.6 to 3.3 and confirmed that 3.3 was displayed. The popup comes up on the watch but not on the varia. I tried power cycling both but no cigar. If you have any additional thoughts please share. It looks like there is much settings on the varia (other then through the f3 for always on and someother thing) so I may have a setting on the f3 for nav which isnt correct. Who knows. Again if you can think of anything else please share, I was hoping to get it working before a ride tomorrow but maybe not. Thanks again.

    I posted the below on the 5x Forum but want a copy here in case you see this.

    So after some playing around I got the tbt on the watch but am unable to get the pop up on the Vision. I have the following set up, if someone has it working and can spot an issue with my settings please let me know.

    I have 3.3 on both the 5x and Vision.

    In my bike app,
    under "Routing" I have activity=cycle, Course=Use Map, Cal Method=Min Dist, Avoidace=All
    under Maps/Configure I have World=on, topo=off, cycle=on, on Use system settings=on

    In settings/navigation
    data screens/ map=on, data field=on
    guide=off
    elevation plot=on
    all four screens=off

    Heading Bug=off
    Alerts/final distance=off, final ete=off

    After updating vision from 2.6 to 3.3 I tried removing sensor and re-pairing, tried multiple power cycles on both, still no popup for TBT
  • I did some research on this and currently the watches do not pass turn instructions to the Varia Vision.

    I wish I knew that up front. Where would you guess the update is required, on the 5X or on the Varia Vision (or both)?
  • The change would be required on the 5X as the Vision already reports turn instructions that are sent by the Edge.

    Makes sense. Well I hopeI don't have to wait too long for this to be implemented 😔
