20,26 Live

New version 20,26 seams to be live. I did a “search for update” and it was available for download now.

Oh boy! I doubt it should have been released yet. Battery drains about twice as fast as normal in watch mode in 20.xx.

I'm not on beta and yes, 20.26 version is live as a stable version, I just upgraded.

Finger crossed, hoping it contains zero regression. Having fixes? We should have a party.

Personally I think this was one version too early. Battery life was a major thing the 955 was sold on and to have it halved is not a great look.

No battery issues for me, but the watch is trying to reinstall every 15 minutes like after the release of the last version

Garmin, WTF?

Now this is interesting. I'm on 20.26 from the beta programme.

Yesterday evening I charged the watch to 100% and battery drain is back to normal, even after an activity.

I wonder if there's some extra logging that's enabled during the beta phase which incidentally causes extra battery drain.

Pan/Zoom function in Maps is no longer working after 20.26 update. Anyone else experiencing this?

Works for me.

Perhaps I should clarify. Pan isn't working when dragging using touch-screen. It does work using buttons.

0 hakanwidlund 2 months ago in reply to 1614100

Works for me. First, check that touch is on in system, also in the selected sport using the maps.

Touch is on in system. I'm trying to use it in the weather / maps function.
