A new Water layer under Terrain shows lakes, rivers, streams and wetlands, with water points as you zoom in. While you record a track, the WMU on screen now updates as you cross a boundary, even with no signal. Season Summary in My Lab puts your season in numbers: outings, hours, distance, climb, weather and light. Garmin users get a redesigned watch app with a new home screen, round buttons and colour-coded pins like the ones on your phone. All your pins now go to the watch without an offline region, and the watch map keeps following you when the screen goes dark. The Offline screen now shows each watch's sync status separately, and this version includes reliability fixes for offline maps and free trials.
