Change History

Changes made from version 4.11 to 5.06:

  • Add support for Connect IQ system 5.
  • Update Incident Detection to better distinguish between supported and unsupported activities.
  • Modify the software update process to allow the user to defer the installation. This replaces the automatic install during the user's sleep window.
  • Fix minor bugs.

Installation Instructions

  2. Download and unzip Forerunner55_506Beta.zip. Place the GUPDATE.GCD file in the \GARMIN folder of your device's internal storage drive.
  3. Disconnect your device from the computer, approve the update on the watch, and wait for the update to finish.
  4. From the RemoteSW folder, copy the GUP3925.gcd and GUP3926 files to the device's \Garmin\RemoteSW folder.
  5. Disconnect your device from the computer, approve the update on the watch, and wait for the update to finish.
  6. If you would like to revert to the last public release software, place the GUPDATE-411.GCD file in the \GARMIN folder. Rename GUPDATE-411.GCD to GUPDATE.GCD. Copy the GUP3925.GCD and GUP3926.GCD files from RemoteSW\Downgrades, place it in the device's \Garmin\RemoteSW folder. Disconnect the device to install. NOTE: If you revert to an older version of software, all of your settings will be reset to defaults.
