I've got a Forerunner 305. I have it set to running and when I upload my run I have the choice of seeing pace or speed under the activity summary. If I go to the player to review the run my only choice is speed. I'd rather see pace. I can't seem to find a setting to make this possible. Anyone know?
Just to confuse things further - the GC player uses the term Speed even when it is actually displaying min/km (min/mile) which is Pace. As far as I can see JP is right, running activities are min/mil or km and cycling are mi or km/hr.
during review with the Payer I see that a faster pace value is lower in the graph, eg. is closer to x axis, an a slower speed is higher, eg. farther from the x axis.
I hope I'm being clear: a faster pace is shown in a lower position.
values on the axis are upside down as well, they grow as they go farther from x axis. so value and graph are consistent, but, a faster pace means less minute per km...
shouldn't it be shown the other way around?
This has to be a known bug. We can only hope that it is fixed in the October 2010 update.
Graphing normally starts from 0 at the x-y intersection and increases numerically. The y-axis is min/km. As a result pace of 1min/km would of course be lower down the y-axis than 10 min/km.
It's not a bug, it's the way graphs are generally drawn

Yes, you are correct, it's not a bug and graphs are generally drawn with the smaller values lower than the higher values which creates a visual effect that most of us can immediately recognize
BUT when graphing "pace" using the actual "pace value" the visual effect is upsidedown just like LILIUMDAVIDII said.
It would be an easy fix if the pace was converted to mph and graphed as mph but labeled as pace (min/mile). Then the pace graph would give the correct visual effect.

A rabbit by any other name is still a rabbit. Just because you call it a cow doesn't change anything.
Get used to what you are looking at. Either that or stand on your head :D
