Kiteboarding apps for Garmin watches

[Steve271]

Hmm… weirdest thing just happened
Went out for a walk, with Glance installed as primary face.
Used walk app.
Then when I got home I read your response and went in to leave the reviews & found Glance, Kite And Woo apps had all disappeared off my watch.
Glance seemed to install, but has dropped itself into the App list rather than face & will not fire up the face (picture of IQ with !) kite and WOO will not reinstall either.
Is there an update or some similar issue going on?

Garmin Connect IQ is still very buggy. Apps can't install or uninstall themselves - it is done by Connect IQ. Every day I get requests for some kind of issue with it - apps can't be installed, settings don't work, etc . You can try using Garmin Express on a computer (it works more reliably), or try your luck with Garmin support - they do help sometimes.

Thx Aleks- good to know
Garmin Express fixed it
Really appreciate the personal support!

@Aleks, what could be happening here? Is it a bug?

The decimal speed number dropped

Kite GPS app (how can I check the version?)
Garmin Fenix 6S software 20.50 (973feb2)

I've already checked on Kite GPS+Woo and the screen is fine

Thanks for reporting it - it was indeed a bug introduced with layout changes I made for the weird Instinct screens

Fixed now, please wait for Kite GPS version 1.0.7 to roll out - it usually takes up to one day. You can check the app version in Connect IQ or directly in the app (press MENU and scroll down). Thanks

I've got scared thinking my watch was deffective

Hey Aleks, I just wanted to say thanks.
I use your apps with my Forerunner 245 and it makes kiting way more fun having a gps map tracked to share afterwards, plus jump heights on your wrist is just awesome! Among other obvious great features.

[Milko0k]

I wonder if there is an app for Fenix 6 that would show jump hight registered by the watch alone?

I really don't care about consistent hight accuracy, leaderboards, attaching or carrying any other devices other than F6.

Is there one?

[LePhasme]

No there isn't, there is one guy on another forum developing one but it's far from being ready. Surfr released an app for apple watch so hopefully they'll wake a version for garmin watches but I couldn't find any info about it.

Thank You
