the lane assist doesn’t realise I may have a reason for drifting out of the lane be that an obstacle, a bicyclist, construction or otherwise.

Where I live you are meant to indicate in such scenarios and then the lane assist will not complain.

Thanks! I bought one months ago and flashed crosspoint at the time.

But nice that you can still flash them via SD card even if they are USB locked. I guess it would be difficult to fully lock them given they just run an ESP32

Do you have a link to an article or something about that?

Yup. I use a Garmin Fenix 6 Pro and I did not connect it to Garmin Connnect (which is basically just a frontend for all the data that i collected on Garmin’s servers).

You don’t get as much history on your watch but it still works perfectly fine. I don’t have notifications on my watch because I don’t want to so can’t attest to that. But otherwise works great.

Not OP but I used

which I thought was pretty easy to setup.

Have a look for Makerspace/Hackerspace. I’m sure there are some in London and they probably have a 3D printer.
