I had to figure out how to do the factory reset at the gym after I got the blue triangle of death when leaving work. Oddly enough it synced the gym plan I wanted and leaving it connected to the phone didn't seem to produce any other ill effects, but I stayed away from anything using GPS.

But yeah, the general advice for Garmins just now seems to be "just don't" and hope it doesn't triangle itself until the fix is out

Syncing with Garmin Express seems to have corrected mine!
