We have released software beta version 5.02.
Changes made from version 5.00 to 5.02:
- Fixed an issue on non-music devices that could cause disruption of various metrics after being connected to a computer. Some of the affected items were cadence, stress, and body battery.
- Improved GPS reliability.
