The new firmware 4.20 can be loaded via Garmin Express.
Unfortunately there are no release notes available yet.

Pretty dismal and disappointing release, eh?

I'm not very excited.

If anyone notices anything else improved, or otherwise, post it here!

You are right, but I'd like to mention, that with respect to the bugs and quirks remaining untouched, we live in a land of plenty. With the end of lifetime of the 66 not too distant we only but can exercise compusure.

Best wishes to all, keep safe

CIQ Security Update

What does this mean?

Is it the same like blue light?

I think it has something to do with connect-iq = ciq

Here is come info I have found:

https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq ... e-devices/
or
https://the5krunner.com/2019/04/10/best ... -nominees/

or

https://the5krunner.com/2018/04/19/ciq- ... announced/

I could be wrong......
