Going for a hike in the country is not the same as a diver needing full information after a dive gone wrong. I'm optimistic to see what Garmin does with the platform, but if they do not fix this specifically, it feels to me that they may be damning their own product to 'toy' territory. While I cannot speak specifically to Garmin's technical management, I do work in high tech, and can hear now the senior managers saying 'We've built a perfectly good architecture, we are not changing how we upload data for a small market'. To change this may require a change to the overall strategy of how ALL of their sports watches function. However, since I realize that many visiting this page donвЂ™t know anything about the Fenix series at all, letвЂ™s take a brief step back and talk about the.

Yes, the underlying software starts off as a Fenix 5X, as does the hardware, but thereвЂ™s some core differences. Anything geo-tagged or which requires (lets call it) 'tabular' data seems to go via WIFI and up to the cloud first. The first thing to know about the Descent MK1 is thatвЂ™s itвЂ™s a Fenix 5X. While I have only had my MK1 for a while, it appears that only simple data is shared from the watch via Bluetooth (i.e. I only raise this as I am not sure that this will be solved by Garmin. This would long enough that information is lost, or at least, it would be a hassle to associate this information with Connect. If I wish to add notes, dive buddies, photo's, equipment, etc, I could not link that to my dive info until AFTER I have internet connection. In Dive Log Manager, any diagnostic messages. In Diving Log 5.0/4.0вЂ™s Sync window you can click the Info button to see detailed information about the connection. In theory, Garmin seems to wish that we end user use connect as the single destination for logging and sharing our activities (I suspect they sell this information as most companies do). In Dive Log on iPhone, you can tap the i information button in the lower right corner of the Synchronization page to flip to the back view and see the diagnostic messages. While you can extract some information from the watch directly, having an internet based connection strategy cuts you off from any form adding meta data to our logs. 1) on your iPhone tap the item under 'Upload active logbook to iCloud' to get the reference logbook into iCloud.

Seems like a piece of info the VT4 should sync with MacDive. Jim you might be able to answer a question for me when I set the oxygen in my VT4 for nitrox, is there a way for MacDive to sync this info I usually end up editing the dive afterwards and changing the mix. After a 1 week dive vacation on a remote island with little or no internet access, it was frustrating to not have the detailed information available. I use MacDive as well and the two work very well together. I hope that there really will be a solution for this.
