There is a great FB group for the Catalyst that includes a Garmin employee. He has provided some great info that isn't always repeated correctly. He is also awair of the folks that are having trouble with data recording, best laps, etc. If you have a unit and FB, you should join the group.

Matt, time for you to buy one and become a user.

I probably have an unallocated one that I can bring to VIR this week, if you like.

Same price as Garmin, free delivery. Try it, you might like it.

I'm letting everyone else test and learn on this one. I'm sure there will be units around to check out once they get shipped and events are going.

That's the beauty! There is no "learning," not like we've had to learn over the last decade.

Come by my car and you can handle mine at VIR this week.

"once they get shipped and events are going..." Haha! Umm, cat's out of the bag and events ARE going.

This is been my last two weeks, almost every day. It'll be nice to take a break and go RACING!

I'm in NH - it was 34F at my house this morning! VA will be a heat wave - though the guys in Roanoke said it's been cold there? The driving season up here is almost over.

Wish I could take pictures of what I've been shipping / working on.

You’re not missing anything... In the general scheme of things.

Heard back and the fix will appear in the next update. Likely within a week.

Life is better without "social media" IMO, Rennlist and LinkedIn about all I can stomach - and even Rennlist at times strays from the path of useful and positive ... but not this thread!
