How do you take a screenshot on Garmin Descent G1?
How to screenshot on Garmin Descent G1, including descentg1 and Garmin Descent G1 searches, then find BMP files in GARMIN\ScreenShot and export clean PNG assets.
Quick answer
Use the current Garmin instructions for this exact model before capturing.
Garmin screenshot shortcuts vary by model. Some watches use a configurable Screenshot Hot Key; other watches use a fixed button shortcut or a newer action-button setting.
The Connect IQ profile tells us this is a Garmin watch or wearable profile, but it does not define the physical screenshot shortcut. Use the official model instructions for the capture step, then use GARMIN\ScreenShot for the saved file.
