Bug Report Forerunner 255 and 265. All models

Devices affected:
Forerunner 255 and Forerunner 265 (all models)

Issue:
GPS positioning is being added to all CIQ applications.

F3b apps that do not require GPS positioning, the positioning permission is disabled. Therefore the these apps do not have access to the GPS sensor functions and positioning sensor hardware. This is a Garmin issue and will happen to all CIQ applications.

I posted a bug reports in the Garmin forums for garmin to fix.

FR255 Model report:

Bug: CIQ apps without GPs are showing positioning data. – Forerunner 255 Series – Running/Multisport – Garmin Forums
forums.garmin.com

FR265 model report:

Bug: CIQ apps without GPs are showing positioning data. – Forerunner 265 Series – Running/Multisport – Garmin Forums
forums.garmin.com

If you have a ForeRunner 255/265, I recommend posting to the forums as well, this will help garmin see the issue is happening to users.

Thanks,

What a user will see in Garmin Connect. Boxing+ should have no location or positioning tracks.
