So my Garmin gets its weather from Breezy. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Sunny@slrpnk.net 2 points 7 months ago (1 child) Ouhh this has peaked my interest! Do you use GB instead of Garmin app? Which Garmin do u use?

I have been doing it for the last year (started Feb 2025). I have a Fenix 7X. It has been pretty great overall. GB shows a lot of information, and does everything I want, and nothing I don't... They recently added Health Connect functionality, which is really cool. The only issue I've had was for a couple months I was having issues with my watch getting into a really bad state and needing a factory reset. It would reboot and then get stuck at "processing FIT files" (is something). I disabled auto syncing, since I theorized that maybe sometimes the sync would get interrupted or something, and Garmin firmware might freak out about it. Now I just occasionally manually sync, generally while sitting at my desk. Besides that issue, I've loved GB. I finally donated last week, since I've gotten so much value from GB and they're doing such good work. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Sunny@slrpnk.net 2 points 7 months ago Thanks for sharing! Sounds like ita time for me to checkout GB! permalink fedilink source parent [–] Curious_Canid@piefed.ca 1 point 7 months ago (2 children) I'm giving it a try. It does look like a good option. My only concern is that there don't seem to be many source options for the US. There were several that showed up as unavailable when I first started, it that no longer show as options now that I've configured it. I'm puzzled. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] TurkeyDurkey@piefed.world 2 points 7 months ago Didn't a bunch lose funding and shutdown?
