My wife and I ran a course with MapRunG today.
I used Fenix 3 and my wife used 235.

We had a few troubles setting it up firstly on my wifes iphone SE which has a small screen, it was impossible to enter the watch ID as the field could not be selected. She had to change the phones font to a tiny one so that the text "GPS Watch Mode" would fit on a single line so that the entry field could be selected.

Another issue was it is not clear where the Garmin ID number actually comes from, It can be seen in the App settings in Garmin Connect, but how is it generated?

Anyway once set up the event worked perfectly. No more having to carry a phone and deal with it, being locked/unlocked/silent/failing to notify/getting wet/dropped etc etc.

Issues: The Garmin screens are small. The Start up screen has very small text which I could read with my glasses on. I understand that there if a fair bit of information to display. But once you are running much of the information is not required. All you really need to see is which is the control you just punched and the elapsed time. I would like to see these in much larger fonts.
