Difference between "Avg Pace" and "Avg Moving pace"?

Darn. I want to know this as well. Maybe my bumping it will get an answer.

Yeah, this is one of those times you wish garmin would publish a detailed manual that gives a detailed account of how all these fields are figured. But they don't, at least not to my knowledge.

Even though you may not have stopped, your device may have perceived a stop, and adjusted your time. If you are viewing this in Garmin Connect then there should also be a 'moving time' field in the 'timing' section of your activity details. If it is different than the 'time', then that's probably your answer. As to whether or not it recorded your time correctly..... well that's another question.

So average moving pace maps to moving time and average pace maps to elapsed/total time?

I have mine set to auto-pause so I don't forget to restart it at stoplights. So my elapsed time may be, say 20 minutes, but my moving time is 17 minutes. Average moving pace would be for the 17 minutes whereas average pace would be for the 20 minutes?

Also keen to hear an answer to this one but not really too fussed.

So my elapsed time may be, say 20 minutes, but my moving time is 17 minutes. Average moving pace would be for the 17 minutes whereas average pace would be for the 20 minutes?

That's always been my perception of it. Though I've never been concerned enough to try and take it past a hypothesis.
