No calories displayed - eTrex 30

Former Member

Hello everyone,

I bought myself an etrex 30 gps to use mostly for hiking and cycling.
Today I recorded some tracks of my activities, but after uploading them, even though I can use pretty much every function, I don't get any information on calories burnt.

Do I have to get the HR sensor or is there some other way to calculate calories burnt with the etrex 30.

Thanks a lot

    i think u need the bike sensor.


    I have the bike sensor and it does not show or record calories burned.

    Maybe that is a function calculated in the Edge GPSs rather than in the connect backend software. :confused:

    so you set a workout with the bike.. and u can see the speed of the bike and stuff, but no calories?

    Forerunners and Edges calculate calories internally, either based on distance and the sport it's set to, or based on heart rate for some of the newer ones, and that number is what is displayed in Connect. If the etrex doesn't calculate calories itself, you're probably out of luck unless you want to use some other software like Sporttracks which can estimate calorie burn for you.

    Giving this a bump. I went out today for a hike with my 30 and HRM. got back uploaded the info to connect and no calorie burn info. Is that just the way it is?
