    Do you have some problems with Live Track ? Since 3weeks, when I Launch a run with livetrack, after 2sec, my watch is paused even if I put PLAY the chrono doesn't continue.
    When I run without livetrack, everything is OK. Can you help me ? THANKS

  • Having FR 245 APAC on 4.40

    Today while regular sync on my Mac, got an intimation from Garmin Express Service that new software is available, followed by intimation that the sync is successfully complete.

    On proper ejecting the watch, checked for software version on watch and it is still showing 4.40.

    However on syncing, Garmin Express shows 5.0

    No installation instructions appeared on the watch.

    Auto update is on (by default) for software update on the watch.

    Nothing appears to have changed on the watch and it is 4.40.

    Reconecting for syncing again, powering the watch on/off, restarting the Mac hasn't made any difference. Earlier upgrades were always no brainers.

    Garmin Express shows v 5.0 and the watch 4.40.

    So, I am wondering what happened? and how do I get the 5.0 ver?

  • GPS is DOA and totally unusable after upgrading to the 5.00 version

  • Should i stick with v4,0? I just purchased my FR245. The update feature is on but it doesn't update

    I have some problem after upgrade to V 5.0. I needs more longer time to set up my GPS. I think, we have big and big problem for this version.
