There are many different Garmin Watches. Sure something for everyone. Users want to have O-range installed on many of them.
With version 2.3.3, the O-range is compatible with all the watches where you can install applications.
Some of the watches that have been added are Approachs60, Vivioactive and Vivoactive HR. All compatible devices is listed below:
Good news: Connect IQ is up and running again.
As you all know, Garmin has been the target of a hacker attack. There have been many rumors regarding ransom etc. We do not know more than you about it and Garmin says nothing.
Due to outage, it has been impossible to upload or update the O-range app on the watches. But now it is fortunately possible to do it again.
This is the message form the Garmin team: Apps, Watch Faces, and Data Fields queued for installation before 14:30 GMT on July 30th may need to be re-installed from the CIQ Store.
The first rule of programming: It's always the progammers fault. Users have reported that o-range not always remember the settings from last exercise. Typically show/hide distance is not always saved in the memory. This can be annoying for those of you who don't want know the distance to the contros during the training.
Version 2.3.2 solves this issue. Your settings will now be put in the memory for the next exercise. This version can be uploaded from the Garmin Connect IQ store.
A small makeover has been carried out on the website. You can now make an event public by selecting Make public in the dropdown menu. The event is added to the list Public courses. You can also add maps to your courses. You do this by selecting the Upload map in the dropdown menu on each course. (you can upload pdf- or png-files.
This makes it easier to share o-range courses without exchanging xml-files and pdf-files.
You can now rename an event in your list. When you import an event from a gpx- or xml file the name is automatically generated. If you want a new name select Rename event in the dropdown menu.
