Garmin Komoot app broken since at least friday. "You’re offline. Only downloaded Tours are available"

I'm having the same issue with my FR255. I actually wrote one of the reviews you mentioned on Connect IQ. I guess we're stuck waiting for the komoot team to fix it. In the meantime, I've been using Garmin navigation (without the background map). I just download the GPX from the komoot phone app, loa

Telephone : yes or no ?

I also have a CGM and you can't connect it to Garmin directly (at least for the Forerunner 255), it uses the share feature in the Dexcom app on my phone. Also sometimes if I'm hiking or running on a trail with no signal, my Garmin stops displaying my blood sugar and I have to use my phone instead.

Best Watch these days

If you can find them at a great price : Garmin Forerunner 570 : it has the new more accurate Garmin Elevate V5 heart rate sensor and will receive new updates and features from Garmin. This new sensor is particularly great for sleep tracking accuracy. Garmin Forerunner 965 : solid choice, has Sapphir

Yay Komoot issued an update.......and it's still not working! Only now it blames the user for not having the Garmin app open. I am running a Pixel 9 , fully updated , a forerunner 255 fully updated. Komoot , it is your app ! How do I get a refund as this is ridiculous now. Back to the simple DW maps

Going back to Garmin

So I went back to my Garmin Forerunner 255 for a day and guess what? I'm going back to Coros. I got so used to the rotary dial on the Coros watch that going back to buttons where you have to press them every time to scroll through the menu is a awful experience :D I apologize for the bold tone, but

Why you chose Instinct over other Garmin device ?

It looks like a watch! I refuse to compromise on a MIP screen and look like some futuristic character from an 80s franchise. :D Phone screens look so ugly on the wrist. Out of all the MIP screen watches, this one looks the best. The color ones are washed out. I had a Vivoactive 4 (color MIP) and enj
