API Update Frequency?

Unread post by riogrande »

Looks like 67i's API may be tied to iridium functionality (vs 67), so would need update to >3. Any idea of how often does a model get its API updated, if ever?

On the device About page, see "CIQ". Best I can tell that's "Connect IQ" as described on a developer dot garmin page. Mine (67i) is 3.2.8.
I found a page listing API for all of their devices, and both 67 and 67i are stated at 3.2.

So, now I'm wondering why your 67 is able to run Brandon's new IridiumFind app, but I cannot. Maybe yours is a minor version ahead?

Can you share the link to that page, please?

Yes, my GPSMAP 67 has a 'beta' software loaded.
