7.11 Running Power change

Hi,

Then I must have misunderstood something. I had read something about power measurement being wristbased.

The change in 7.11 is independent from wrist-based running power, it's just that you don't need an IQ data field anymore if you're running with a pod or a compatible HRM, to record and display the running power.

Source is still the pod/HRM strap.

Wrist-based running power will eventually arrive *in addition*, but right now it's only available in alpha versions for watches like Epix/Fenix 7, and will take some even more time to arrive for the 945 LTE.

Wrist-based power is coming to the 945 LTE: https://www8.garmin.com/marine/PDF/MarineSoftwareUpdate/2022/November2022.pdf
