    Power Data from my Stryd is not saved since 4.87.

    There's reports that the CIQ fields resets to timer? So do you have the CIQ field set correctly in the activity screens?

    Updated numerous widgets to improve usability and look

    I like the new look, but I noticed something on the barometer widget since I've been using the beta for the last 2 1/2 days.  My barometer is working properly (verified using phone weather app) and it's rising and dropping with the change in pressure. The odd thing I've noticed is I have a cloud with rain drops icon displayed on top that never changes. The weather has been stable (partly sunny) to improving since using the beta. In fact, my 4hr window shows the pressure slowly rising as the weather is changing slightly for the better, but I still have the cloud w/ rain drops icon.  Anyone have this or anything similar going on?

    Looking closely at it, the "rain drops" are actually up and down arrows, I guess an icon to indicate the function of a barometer, like the altimeter icon is of a mountain

    I'll be damned.  They are arrows. I thought I was looking at rain drops and I kept thinking this isn't right. Thanks for the clarification.

    The best you can do if the problem persists is to make a second account in powercenter and pair your Stryd with the mobile app. Then sync the data from your Stryd to the app. Then go to powercenter on your new account and dowload the runs you dont’t have data from. Then upload these files to your regular account. So now you have your powerdata in your Stryd account. But not the maps.

    The Power fields where reseted to timer. I had to delete "running" and create it new. Before this I could not set the power field.

    Will test today or tomorrow.

    Seems that the the CIQ update broke one of my own DataFields. Weirdly I tried recompiling it with SDK 3.1.9 and now I get some "Could not find symbol" errors.

    Looks like they might have changed the way some things work, specifically for me, activityInfo.frontDerailleurIndex

    So no sleeping widget? Thanks for nothing.

    How to turn off on-road navigation on tracks ?

    Upload a track to Garmin Connect and was expecting that it will just guide me without any recalculation.

    But it started to recalculate - which took ages, and finally track was broken.
