I think the gesture to light up the watch during activity is not working properly.

Initial Feedback:

Watch interface appears to be more responsive when transitioning between screens
Issue with increasing volume when paired to Aftershokz Aeropex headphones is slightly fixed. Doesn't work on every press, but with enough attempts the volume will start to increase. No issues with decreasing volume

The light up didn't work yesterday on spinning but it worked well today running outside. But the GPS is awful...

This was last week with fw 2.90

Today was like this

Am I missing something here? Don't see a GARMIN device when plugged to my Mac at all...

Today gps+galileo and it's the same problem. Awful gps

Garmin haven't reported any GPS related changes... I use the same GPS settings, GPS+Galileo but no issues so far regarding that.

Well since I didn't update since 2.90, maybe it's not specifically from this version but maybe from an older version. But the 2.90 was pretty much spot on and with this is all over the place.

Well ok, don't remember from which version either was 3.00 or 3.10 that started using GPS software 2.50 which has GPS improvements.

I found some info about it on 945 thread:

There are other that are complaining about exact same thing like you, GPS+Galileo accuracy.

0 berimbadas over 5 years ago in reply to gjoregj

I have always use GPS+Glonass and now I tried both settings and they are very equal and both are way off the accuracy of 2.90 firmware. I also had the same problem they are reporting on 945 forum, t instant pace is way off the pace of the lap...
