  • Maybe this list is including earlier fixes before 6.90. Seems like I have seen some of them before.

  • It reads like a change log from version 5.8. Lol

    The previous beta and this update fixed the very long gps wait times for me. 

  • Here is the Changelog for 6.90 (only!)

    Change Log

    Improved Incident Detect and Assistance user interface
    Fixed some minor Connect IQ bugs
    Fixed livetrack communication issue with Garmin Connect Mobile
    Fixed a bug where the device could boot loop with some Connect IQ watch faces
    Fixed a couple crashes during Wi-Fi syncs
    Fixed an issue where the device couldn't get a GPS fix
    Fixed an issue where timers wouldn't go off after a power cycle

  • Funny to see the difference between the log show in Garmin Express and the real change log :-)

    Also, the Sensor Hub 18.2 was not included in the first 6.90 update but available only few days after.
