Installation Instructions

  1. Connect your Forerunner 945 to your computer using the USB cable.
  2. Download and unzip Forerunner945_315Beta.zip. Place the GUPDATE.GCD file in the \GARMIN folder of your device's internal storage drive.
  3. In Forerunner945_315Beta, go to the RemoteSW folder. Place the GUP3114.GCD and GUP3303.GCD file in the \GARMIN\REMOTESW folder of your device's internal storage drive.
  4. Disconnect your device from the computer, approve the update on the watch, and wait for the update to finish.
  5. If you would like to revert to the last public release software, place the GUPDATE-280.GCD file in the \GARMIN folder. Rename GUPDATE-280.GCD to GUPDATE.GCD before disconnecting your device. To revert the RemoteSW, place the RemoteSW\Downgrades\GUP3114-250.GCD and RemoteSW\Downgrades\GUP-3303-360.GCD in the \GARMIN\REMOTESW folder. NOTE: If you revert to an older version of software, all of your settings will be reset to defaults.

    After a run, it reset the steps wich I did before today. Fun enough the daily graph is orange because I reached the target with the lost steps, but they are not in the step count.

    Funny enough I can no longer trust OHR for working out in the gym. I have the chest strap on (which takes ~5-7 mins to catch up with my true HR) pretty much since 2.64 and wish Garmin would focus on fixing this!

    OHR is especially poor for many exercises in the Gym, but I would never trust OHR during any activity - if you want HR to be measured reliably, a chest strap is the only way, OHR is, in my book, only good for 24/7 tracking, not for activity. For some types of activity (e.g. hiking) you can get mostly reasonable results, but even there you can never be sure things are correct. Other activities, with a lot of arm movement and/or a lot of heart-rate movement are wrong much more of the time.This seems to be a problem with the technology, likely not something that can (ever) be fixed.

    Oh and chest-straps don't take 5-7 minutes to catch up with true HR, they measure it from the moment you put it on (provided you put it on properly, wetting the pads).

    I notice through garmin express that there are a new firmware (3.30), sensor hub (2.70) and BT/Ble/ant (4.30). Any news about that?

    For me a slow run with my HRM-run strap got an average hear rate of about 140 bpm while if I use the OHR of the 945 I am at about 170 bpm, I don't have this problem with the OHR from my Vivosmart 4 which is more or less in the same "zone" as the HRM-run.

    Also for sleep tracking with the 945 I don't get any "deep sleep" while with the Vivosmart 4 I got a few hours.

    Nothing better with 3.15 beta for sure in respect to OHR.

    Please fix the treadmill calibration. Winter is here. We desperately need this functionality... thanks in advance!

    Winter is the best time to run outside, running on the treadmill is just silly jumping in the same place. Go outside! :D

    When I follow the installation instructions, I get through Steps 1-3 but then during Step 4, my GFR945 doesn't request me to approve the update and it just doesn't update...
