Ok I know I can be tech non savvy but I do ok, however I have downloaded Surf Tracker from the IQ store and it shows up on my list of data fields. How do I actually get it to track my waves or actually do anything, it just it's on my list and not appear on my watch???

Its been a while since I set mine up so I can't remember exactly what I did but basically you have to add the surf tracker data field to an activity.

Mine only is active when I select SUP for the activity because that is the one I added it too.

Think it is something like select settings/activities and apps/sup/sup settings/data screens/add new then select surf tracker.

Great thanks, I think I did it ok will have to test it next Surf.

You can make your own custom field and insert it there.

Hi Guys i got venu for XMas and looking to add it as well. Is there only one app on the iq store. I would like to use it for longboarding as well. It would not have any issues would it.

Found surf tracker a bit frustrating. Try wavetrackerapp (free version available), but FYI with a Garmin it's a bit convaluted:
record your surf as an activity, export gpx from garmin website (not the app), upload to WaveTrackerApp website, view session on WaveTrackerApp via app.

I use the Dawn Patrol app on an Apple Watch and it works wonders.

Agreed Dawn Patrol is a good app if you have Apple Watch.

Is the website. The app is on andriod and Apple stores.

So it seems in my last software update Garmin have now added a wave counter and all that goes with that, some of the data is still a bit off but others have improved.

Is the new wave counter part of the SUP activity that comes on the watch?

Yes but only in the last week or so it was not on my watch before that.

Thanks for the info.
