I cannot find “text responses” on my fr245. Kindly assist me. Thanks.
Sure, I’m happy to help. What type of phone are you using with your Garmin Forerunner 245?
Would you think Garmin will release this to IOS phone as I currently using iPhone which I can’t enjoy this feature.
I hope so but I think it’s a limitation on iPhones that Garmin cannot overcome. Hopefully this gets resolved though.
