From today 23-May-26 the GPSTC advisory panel would like to advise that the Garmin Forerunner 265 is now approved for posting to GPS TeamChallenge competition.
Note, the smaller 265s, the one with the smaller screen is not approved.
It has become increasing difficult to purchase the Garmin 255 models in Australia. The Garmin Forerunner 265 is the natural replacement.
As the 265 model is very similar in hardware to the already approved 965, the verification process was able to be completed with previously submitted files.
The same rules apply as those for the existing approved Garmin watches (255, 255 Music and the 965)
1. Competitors must install the latest versions of the "GPSTC Approved Tbwonder Data field" or "APPro Windsurf" (this ensures the capture of the required data)
2.Export must be in FIT Format and posted through existing approved programs (GPS Speedreader or KA72). Posts though KA72 must be 'public'.
3. Users with other approved devices must prioritise posting with them as they provide additional error data.
Posting will not be possible until GPSSpeedreader and/or KA72 are updated to include this device.
