Subject: Timex Global Trainer Firmware update available

Just wanted to let my fellow TGT owners know that Timex just released a new firmware upgrade (v3.14 (Aug 3, 2011)) for the watch plus a new Device Agent version (v3.0.57 Aug 3, 2011).

Biggest change I noticed is ANT+ Foot pod support.

Release Notes:

Performance Mode

  • The Lap/Split pop-up display has been increased in size and covers the entire screen:
    • Lap and Split times appear for five seconds, and
    • For the next five seconds, the displayed lap summary is based on what data was being viewed when the lap/split was recorded.
  • Additional data fields are available:
    • For each lap, live data for Average Cadence, Average Pace, Average Heart Rate, Average Speed, and Average Power can be viewed.

Multisport Mode

  • The Lap/Split pop-up display has been increased in size and covers the entire screen:
    • Lap and Split times appear for five seconds, and
    • For the next five seconds, the displayed lap summary is based on what data was being viewed when the lap/split was recorded.
  • Additional data fields are available:
    • For each lap, live data for Average Cadence, Average Pace, Average Heart Rate, Average Speed, and Average Power can be viewed.
    • For each segment (sport) of a Multisport event/workout, Average Cadence, Average Pace, Distance, Average Heart Rate, and Average Speed can be viewed.

Sensors

  • ANT+ Foot Pod is now a choice in the Configure Sensors menu to provide Pace, Distance, and Running Cadence data indoors or when GPS signals are compromised.
    • To address this additional functionality, alert zones are now available for Run Cadence and Bike Cadence.
    • Firmware also supports calibration of the Foot Pod over a user-selected measure distance or through input of a calibration factor (percentage).

 

GPS Acquisition

  • Upon start-up of the GPS receiver, a satellite status bar is displayed until any button is pressed.

Data Transfer to the Online Log

  • Improved watch data output will now provide more accurate results in the Timex Ironman online log powered by TrainingPeaks.
