proof positive that Garmin really are a retarded, ball-sucking, outfit.
Yes, the 920XT does have WiFi capability, BUT, you need to install client software on your Mac or PC to be able to set up that wireless connectivity over a USB cable on to the device!
Which intellectually deficient tit at Garmin thought that was a bright idea? FFS, even my dumb**** £30 printer can search and connect to a WiFi AP on it’s own without a computer to hold it’s hand.
So I now need to borrow a family members laptop, bring it into the house, download software to it, plug in the watch, tell the watch which WiFi network it may use, and then remove the software before handing the laptop back again. What a balllache.
At least the bluetooth seems to manage to talk to the Android phone OK, so sync is possible via that until the WiFi system is sorted.
Surely, some company out there must have seen Garmin consistently churn out this hobbled junk and worked out how to do it better?
Garmin: Still resolutely stuck on the list of companies whose products one “has to buy” but always done it holding my nose to avoid the stink.
Mrs Stoner likes her xmas present though.
